The last 2 minutes of game 4 is why I hate our offensive philosophy at times.

    Written during the last minute, win or lose.

    Screw the damn 3 or the layup in the last crunch time minutes. I wish D tony had enough nuts to tell Harden youre really good at stepbacks. I need you to get on the low block and make stepbacks a little closer than 3 point range. Go post up, square up on your defender and then give him a move then step back.

    We get way too bogged down in the crunch with stupid 3s, when all we need is to continue to string along 2 pointer so momentum doesnt shift to the opponent when we miss.

    EDIT: No **** we won and Im ecstatic. But I went into this game not trying to get too high or too low and just tried not to get too emotionally attached. To the idiots that want to say that GS bogged down too: I dont give a fuq about them bogging down. We shouldnt. It was our good defense down the stretch that made that happen but it could be a lot easier if we strung points together.

    You act like Golden state didn't bog down even more, When it's playoffs and crunch time, it's all iso, how many open shots did Curry have in the last few posssessions

    Harden had all the favorable ISO matchups in winning time and either passed or settled for a three. I'm selfish for Harden's Legacy. I desperately want him to be the reason the Rockets win. This was his moment and he kinda passed it off in the end..

    But seriously.. IDGAF!!!!!!!! ROCKETS WINN F-Ck YEAH!!!!

    I’d like to see Chris Paul initiate the offense more. He finally was able to pass his man at the end there. He was struggling with that for a while.

    You must have forgot how deadly and automatic Harden was 3 years ago with the step back on square ups.

    This thread is not a Harden hate thread. This is about being more efficient offensively in crunch time. Some of yall are ****ing r****ded to automatically take it to a Harden hate thread.
