    Harden's D needs to be talked about more, his lack of effort is a disgrace to the Rockets and his team mates

    Maybe he decided to celebrate "4/20"

    I mean thats the best I can come up with for how sluggish and disinterested he looked out there

    Portland will not beat the Rockets...Harden and Howard both struggled (Parsons struggled in 4th and overtime) and the Rockets still came close to winning. Rockets will beat the Blazers.

    Harden will need to step up and play better tho. He was lazy in game 1. No Movement, one possession Dwight came over and tried to give him a screen and he didn't want it and instead took a step back jumper. smh just lazy and didn't want to move.

    1) Why do people care about rep so much? I never bring it up and yet people use it against me... Lol.
    2) Yeah, not everyone has the composure to love the Rockets and excuse their poor efforts 24/7.

    You can stay positive, but losing HCA is nothing to balk at.
    I would rather have not had HCA this series to begin with. If we stole a game on the Blazers home court their team would have just died, not we have to fight that much harder for what should have been a warm up series.

    It's Game freaking 1 chill. It's not like Portland's invincible at the Moda Center/Rose Garden/Memorial Coliseum.

    They are pretty tough. It's a guaranteed packed stadium during a playoff game. Don't underestimate Portland its what got us in this situation in the first place.

    We haven't exited the first round. If you don't believe in the team, that's too bad. It's one loss. Anyone who thought the Portland series would be easy wasn't being realistic.

    Anyone who thinks one loss means the series is over also isn't being realistic.

    Trying to get himself going? That's all fine and dandy, when the game wasn't literally on the line.

    Why do you shoot a 3 down 1 with 12 sec left with both Aldridge and Lopez already foul out? I think that's mental blindness.

    It looked to me like Harden just had no energy and couldn't get around his man easily. That's why he settled for those threes. Portland defended him well.

    Batum is a tough matchup. Apparently Matthews is too.
    Harden needed screens all night to get past them.

    Harden with a disappearing act that even David Copperfield would be proud of.

    The Rockets settled for too many 3s, and Harden's defense was horrible.

    Harden didn't disappear. He just played inefficiently. Kevin Martin disappears.

    This guy is either a hardcore LOF or a big time Harden hater or both. He has this weird obsession of Harden not being a closer or clutch when James is one of the most clutch players in the league.

    Look at this other joke thread he started.

    Actually, thanks for ranting for me. I feel better now that you got that out of my system.
