    If James Harden is going to play disinterested and like crap all year, then, sure, they aren’t a contender.

    Right now, I want Westbrook running the offense and setting Harden up. He’s doing a really good job of getting open shots for others.

    This team has too many damn guards, even with Green out and McLemore not getting minutes.

    What the **** was Morey thinking not signing more, younger bigs who can play 4 or 5.

    Reasons:

    1) The coach really can't coach

    2) The GM is a little too involved in the on-court product. Nothing wrong with midrange jumpers.

    3) Harden's ego is starting to reach out of control levels.

    I'm a lot more confident right now when westbrook is running the show than harden. harden is fishing too hard for his 3ball. Just like last game he's forcing it a bit much and is getting letting his frustration of the calls justify his poor defense.

    I think we're still a good enough team to win regardless of how bad harden shoots, but when he and EG both shoot terribly and take so many shots, on top of our terrible defense, it's asking to beat by average teams like the pelicans.

    Ingram tbf has been playing really well this season, he has been the best player for the Pelicans in every game so far, but the Rockets defense is really lottery like.

    Gave up 39 points to the Pelicans JV team

    might as well just forfeit if you’re not going to try

    You can have Gobert or Shaq in there but if the guards and wings get burned every time, your center isn't going to save your team by himself, defense always starts on the perimeter.
