    I mean, like it or not, he is our best perimeter defender and is essential to winning a title on this team. Dont forget we dont have CP or Gordon tonight.

    Keep the minutes down for starters. It’s easy to make playoffs.

    Yes, we were doing better with House!!! There is no reason whatsoever Tucker only took one shot in 34 minutes. Zip for points is not cutting it. I blame the loss on our leader though. James took 35 shots and wasn't passing enough when he wasn't shooting well and others were. He should have been feeding the ball to Rivers more, the way he was shooting from behind the arc. I mean heck, Rivers was shooting .500 from behind the arc but James takes seventeen 3's. He might have scored 38 points, but big deal when shooting a FG% of .371. So, tonight this loss is on James, and he can oink his way all the way home.

    That was not one of Harden’s better games but he was due for a bad one. Tucker right now is usless to the point that he is becoming a negative on the court. If he doesn’t defend well he gives you nothing and gets monsters on the boards

    We have been doing better without them. Maybe they should be our new guys off the bench,

    yeah honestly aint even mad, that win at oracle drained so much out of the players, we need to do better job on rebounding just regroup and get ready for next game, hopefully gordon will be back soon

    This is the real story. Warriors announcers can’t get Harden out of their head haha

    He wasn't easily pushed around his first couple of years here. He was a better finisher then. He can easily lose the weight. Many people have the the leanest they have ever been in their lives in their 40s. Harden can hire the best nutritionists on the planet.

    James needs rest, he didn't have his burst tonight...they really need CP to get his ass back.

    Harden is the least of my worries. Defensive rebounding, Tucker’s shooting slump and obviously getting both Eric and Paul are the real issues.

    I root for the Texans and they lose. I root for Seattle and they lose. I root for the Rockets and they lose. What a fun day.

    Goodnight

    Need to trade for Aaron Gordon, not Love. ORL is desperate for young starter at PG. 2 firsts wouldn't hurt them either.

    No man. This run has been great and all but Harden cant do this every night. We need our second and third best play makers back.

    welp... we did not play to the hot hand... most of the team shot 50% or better... maybe we should have gotten a little different disbursement of the shot attempts and a few more assists tonight...

    ;) lol

    jus sayin...

    Morey is not interested in overpaid contract. Get cheap guy Wayne Ellington.

    Yep. Austin Rivers was hot. He should have gotten more shots.
