How does Harden not even play half of the fourth?

Kevin has some balls lol

 

Suuuure, it was.

 

The best players, the legends, become so because they keep reinventing themselves and learning from what works and what doesn't. Harden can't be what he is forever and leave a legacy. It's a process and hopefully tonight is day 1 of this self realization of where he and the team can go if he keeps learning

 

I sometimes wonder if people see when Harden "moves the ball." He passes then checks out. Rockets are running 4 on 5 while Harden is waiting, doing nothing, at the time line. That is not Mchale's offense. I've been saying that for the longest. Harden passes and does nothing afterward. I dont mind Iso ball.. Harden gets buckets... It's the team offense that bothers me.

 

thats why

 

TBH, I thought something was wrong with Harden making him not being able to play.

 

Harden's sick isn't he? Have you seen any of the last pre and post game interviews with him constantly coughing. And doesn't he have asthma?

Although I don't know how sick he is or how he's feeling, you'd have to give him credit for his triple double the other night and remaining on the court.

 

Gutsy as ****, but i gotta give it up for Mchale

 

Me too. I thought Mchale was going to bring him back like game 2.. I was waiting...

Even more impressive Harden was cheering on bench. I like that.

 

oP claim to fame was cyberx thread. You can just out this in game thread not make A new one

 

Harden cheering his team and encouraging them was awesome to see. He knew they could get it done.

 

I agree- one of the epic moments in Rockets history and we get DaDiarrhea spouting his crap.

 

This was one of the few times I agreed with McHale's decisions.

 

I agreed with the benching but I had no Idea Hardens seat had gorilla glue on it. Mchale is ballsy.

 

Apparently putting 5 players on the floor who play defense and don't ball watch results in good team defense.

Mind blown...

 

GREAT DECISION!!!!!

I love Harden, but man what a gutsy decision to go with whats working with your man on the bench. I've seen other teams do it, and to have that much faith in our team feels SO good.

 

Whats even more impressive is that he kept him on the Bench when it looked like the Clippers would pull away

 

I've had enough of your ReDICK obession, it's not him. Any decent shooter in the Clippers offense would give Harden fits, he has to fight through picks etc.a, and yes at this stage any super star should, but don't act like it's just Reddick (who IS a great shooter) but it's more of a product of Doc's offense.

 

Lol, McHale kept Harden out of the game because the guys on the court bought them back. Not because of Poor play. Harden did not play poorly, if it wasn't for Harden we would have went into the half down 15 or worse.

Amazing that people can't appreciate this win and instead some want to still trash Harden.

 

He had a bad overall game. With that said the rockets won and that's what matters. Hope he can play the way he did in game 5.
