    I'm starting to think this team needs to hit rock bottom and get everybody going against them for them to play good. Everybody was on our dick once we beat the Celtics and we got complacent. Now that people hate us again it's time to pick up the energy.

    Ric Bucher said this morning:

    there are two types of small ball lineups.
    1, efficient, defensive lineups, play 10 minutes a game.
    2. Inefficient, offensive team, play 48 minutes a game.

    Useless thread cause u don't really understand the mind of these Harden/rocket haters.

    Lose to lakers = harden is a a choker/slumping and small ball sucks
    Win to lakers = it won't work in playoffs

    Pointless trying to have any type of debates with these haters, mind set from the beginning.

    it'd be nice... but my view would remain the same (as laid out in the sig) until we see some post season success... or even seeing 'the system' work with consistency without having to rely so heavily on 2 MVPs...

    No.

    Any team can be beat during the regular season. The clippers are the tougher match. Win or lose tomorrow doesn’t change anything for me

    It actually would work in the playoffs if everybody on the team bought in and did their assignment. Defense creates more offensive opportunities... I know we all know that but for most of the game we just don't play that way.

    For a lot of people on clutchfans one play of one game in the first quarter in the regular season is capable of changing EVERYTHING.

    I think this team can beat anyone or lose to anyone. The question is can we win 4 out of 7, 4 times in a row. I don’t really care about our seeding anymore, if I could start the playoffs tomorrow I would. I’m ready to get on with it.
