    I don’t know if Harden has become slower or if it just looks like that because WB is so fast. Either way, Harden can’t do what WB does. And WB can’t do what Harden does for that matter.

    Small miracle being only down 9. I don't want Harden to sulk, get pissy, and stop playing though. I want him to come out and play pissed instead, get thrown out of the game if you have to. Officiating has been atrocious, I'm absolutely shocked they didn't call that last loose ball foul on House though...

    If Bill Simmons became a massive alcoholic, it would probably resemble Smoothie_Kings posts.

    It's killing us when those two can't even score a point.

    Yeah, his moves used to be more fluid and dynamic, he looks like he's lost something. Not sure if it's mental or physical, but Harden needs to get his mojo back.

    Westbrook is the opposite of Harden in that Harden benefits from a rim running big like Capella. He uses the threat of the lob to make defenders second guess him. Now with now rim running big lob threat, defenders are just going to away him. He doesn't have the explosiveness of Westbrook obviously.

    This crap shoot offense got everybody in their feelings. Recognize that this offense is a gimmick!

    You play your best players and offense schemes that you worked on from day 1!

    3 pointers got shut down.

    Why not make adjustment in 2nd quarter?

    That pass to Westbrook out of bounds is going on Shaqtin a fool. I think that was on Westbrook for standing in the corner wearing his in-game jersey.

    Two bogus offensive foul calls does slow harden some
    The allowance of the Celtics to bump HARDEN relentlessly has an effect

    House and Ego need to do something positive.

    Covington and Tucker playing decent
    But could step up

    Yep. All those charges are regular fouls for Giannis. The league already doesn’t like Harden or the Rockets. Talking just make things worse.

    Earlier on that play Westbrook was standing inbounds on the court as well, which may be why it tripped up Harden.
