    Nothing to do with skill, how he is defended.

    There is no excuse whatsoever for him to put out trash game after trash game.

    Give me PJ Tucker

    he’s so soft...he wants nothing to do with the paint in this series

    if only Nene was 30...

    Clint and CP3 were straight garbage and were pissing me off all game

    Harden should’ve taken 30 shots tonight...instead he put the game in the hands of underperforming role players playing like bums...smmfh

    He has been absolutely atrocious. He's being outhustled and outplayed by the likes of Looney. If New Orleans is crazy enough to take Capela, Gordon and 4 1st rounders for AD that deal should be done yesterday even if its a rental.

    "I want the Warriors"

    Capela deserves a vet min contract. He'd be nothing without Harden carrying his ass.

    CP3 should be getting paid like a role player at most.

    You'd think Morey would learn from that Ryan Anderson contract but nope, his dumb philosophy and contracts really screwed us.

    He doesn't have it. Instinct wise, not a basketball player.

    He had 14 rebounds. The Warriors have done a good job of limiting the lobs and dunks.

    Clint had a good game on Sunday, so he's had his moments.

    We had multiple players that had bad games tonight. CP3, Rivers, Gordon all underperformed.

    I would have liked to see Nene get some minutes tonight.

    Man he was pushed around by ... freaking Steph Curry to lose a rebound. This is why you don't go by numbers. I paid special attention tracking him. He gets pushed around with no freaking angle to pass for Harden. Watch how Nene made himself available.

    Freaking disgrace. That's all.

    Ive been asking myself that same question ALL series. I guarantee you Faried wouldve gotten atleast 2 of those rebs Looney got. Hes athletic and brings energy. The fact that Dantoni refuses to play him is beyond me.

    It's like he's playing with heavy pockets, or something... All that cash the Rockets gave him is weighing him down.

    You fxxking count on him to man the machine gun to cover the flank when we are charging at the Nazis, and he fxxking disappeared. That's how bad he is.

    I honestly would feel better with Faried and Nene for the rest of the series.

    At least they will hustle and at least if they are right under the rim they will go up for a dunk instead of a reverse wrap around layup...

    he cant do anything with the ball other than dunk, though he did make a few good pocket passes tonight.

    he cant score without the alley. whenever he gets the ball with space between him and the rim, he usually takes a power dribble or something and gives the defense time to recover instead of going up right away. the warriors cover a lot of ground very quickly. he just isnt very useful this series.

    CC +8 with 14 boards in 26 mins... Nene +4 in 4 mins... Small ball -17...

    the team with the rebounding advantage has won every game...

    You gotta balance all the factors needed to win... even if that means blowing some defensive assignments to win the battle of the boards... PJ cant be the primary rebounder and #1 defender...
