    Everyone is pressing on offense instead of taking the best shots.

    Not seeing their usual energy on defense either.

    Feels like Russ has missed all his layups since mid 1st quarter.

    Need some pick and roll next half, get some easy baskets.

    I definitely don't take Harden for granted. Love Harden and the fact that he has stuck around even through the rough times.

    I like how one side on here is like....."WESTBROOK SUCKS I TOLD YOU SO" and the other side is like "Lol we dont suck, we are just tanking"

    Meanwhile I'm just like.......17 points huh

    Cayleigh would probably be better than Frazier tbh

    I edited my attempt at optimism back there. I added a “groan” and something about not playing with a “full deck.” We aren’t playing Poker. We’re playing Go Fish.

    Game is not over but that was just pure trash. If harden is not out there generating doubles that creates open looks for the shooters or his pick and roll sublime game there is no one who can do anything.

    Clemons and Frazier getting burn before Luc or Bruno is disheartening.

    Frazier does nothing very well.

    And Clemons will be useless in playoffs, especially if he does not pass or hit his 3's.

    It should be pretty alarming how dependent we are on 1 player in order to have a system. Is this not a HC responsibility?

    He played much better in February.

    He reverted back to missing layups again.

    Admittedly, haven't seen Caron in a while. It's weird seeing Caron Butler on NBA TV with hair. :p

    Yup, especially given the genius label and I'm not seeing the turning any PG into a god offensive system. Harden is not a product of MDA, AT ALL! He's one in spite of it. We should be better than this.

    that;s because someone is hiding his massive deficiencies and low ball iq. but without him, we've always seen his lineups struggle as well as him

    You hate everything about the Rockets.

    Not sure why you're a fan.

    I'd like a good conspiracy theory, but do tell more after the seeding games.
