I agree he is one of the main keys, but Harden was the real key tonight... (Not his scoring, but rather the effort & attitude)
So where are all those folks that thought Parsons wasn't that important to the Rockets and wasn't as good as Hayward? Parsons is huge for the Rockets in literally everything they do.
Harden was hot garbage but he isn't why the Rockets lost. The Rockets lost because when the deficit hit 10 points they were shooting 32% as a team.
Hell, people were ready to bench him for Garcia like 2 games into the season. Cisco is my 2nd favorite player on this team easy, but Chandler Parsons he is not.
At the end with 2 min left, the body language of DH and Harden = already checked out and given in. Only bev and brooks were scrambling to try to make a 3. GG NO RE.
Wow, can't believe what I saw tonight. We basically played as ****ty as we did in Utah, except with the added bonus of our best player having his worst game so far as a Rocket. Not a good recipe. We need to get our **** together. We allowed too many layups, and just sleepwalked through the entire game. Harden was half asleep out there, as was the entire team on defense. I thought the team was playing quite well but now we are playing worse than we have since the 7 game losing streak next season. We need to go 3-2 in our next 5 games, and that'll be tough. Parsons is extremely important to this team. We need to get healthy.
Harden has gotta either be playing hurt or playing exhausted... maybe a combination of the two. He was abused tonight by Turner, then again, most of the rockets were abused by the suns tonight. The thing that really stings is not so much losing to the suns, but losing to that POS jazzhole coaching them.
Not sure if you're referring to roxfan4life00's comment about that twitter guy... I generally hate the indiscriminate/baseless labeling, but that guy's timeline really tells the whole story.
OMG fire McHale! Parsons not as good as Hayward! Howard not learn Olajuwon post moves! Harden not as good as Brooks!
Harden had a bad game 3-27 2pts + 3pts taken into consideration. It happens. We are down a lot of guys who would have normally picked up the slack. Lin & Parson's are crucial part of the big 4.
Even though he's right, that sucks to hear. He's been really, really supportive of this team this season

"You gotta come out and play as hard as you can" "It's gotta be in you, you can't coach it" "Just piss poor effort on defense ....and offense, ball stuck tonight" (lol damn)
