    One of the best ways to determine if a person is a coward that they cant even own up to their statements and has to say that "someone" said....

    A liar and a coward.

    So this is my point again
    People care more about the tv talk then the game itself

    I really didn’t watch tv except local when we won
    The titles

    Then again I care about my opinion above those who get paid for written scripted opinions on tv shows

    On the one hand why do you fold keep posting these things? Nobody actually watches these shows any more. They only watch the clips... because folks like you post then.

    on the other hand.... I’m here commenting in the thread.

    almost all sports analysis these days by anyone famous is HORRIBLE... precisely because to get famous they had to say some incredibly idiotic thugs, just loudly and with passion and pretend conviction.

    Wilbon was alluding to the refs tacking fouls on harden, and letting Westbrook drown us

    Teams are starting to get away with Fouling James and no call. James is doing a good job getting his teammates ready for the shots they will have too hit. The Team must execute at high level to eliminate what teams can do against James and russ

    James and Russ can be their own worst enemies, missing 6 FTs, taking turnaround fadeway bank shots and heaving 3 long threes in a row...

    ... but there is no new magical discombobulation formula that the Spurs or Warriors or Jazz haven't tried before. Unless you count Utah standing behind him. That was discombobulating as a fan.

    Wilbon whenever he appears on air next: "SEE? I was RIGHT!"

    LOL

    Never fails, when Rockets lose our village idiot comes out screaming "look at me, look at me, I told you so and so sucks".

    You must be a miserable little prick.

    Russ missed 7 FT on his own, why even include Harden?

    Because they both have entire careers beyond last game where they've shown only they can stop themselves. Although in this case the refs stopped Harden with foul trouble. And James did miss 3 long long 3s from the top in the last 3 minutes. I couldn't remember if it was 6 or 7 missed FTs for Russ. Ouch.

    The entire problem is you listen to national sports media.

    That you guys do becomes a problem for the rest of us because then you post their stupid takes as a thread in the GARM and we all have to see it.

    In other news, coaches been trying to limit Hardens production for years to no avail. Stay tuned to the rest of this seasons exciting storylines.

    They are doubling him at the half court now, triple team sometimes. There really isn't much you can do beyond that. Harden is too good a passer with too high a BBIQ.

    there's always going to be different ways at throwing defensive looks. Especially when so much is based on who is around harden on the court.

    Clutchfans keep posting the Media responses
    because Clutchfans cares more about the Media than anything else

    This isn't the same site which cared about what other rockets fans think like
    the @DaDakota days
