I love Harden on offense, but I think the TEAM would be better if he did less and played some Defense too. But for that to happen we need a coach to demand more out of him.....he doesn't respect JBB, and you can see the Org has enabled him, this is what you get. Do you hear of Popovich letting his players skip riding to the game on the team bus? Hell we bought a ****ING RV for Royce White. This team has zero backbone and leadership. I just understand basketball about 50 levels higher than you - I know you will never get there...... DD
DD is right. Pull the WOOL over your eyes but your hero has no plan other than to get his. Because the Org enabled him to. smh. DD
Agenda driven DD at his best. Clearly, Harden is also guilty of ALL his teammates missing wide open shots too, huh? 15 FGAs in all in case you forgot. Only Harden was 6-8 after the first quarter.
What's that got to do with the game. Also it wasn't necessarily hero ball. He got his team wide open looks. He did what he had to do - you can't get an assist if your teammates can't hit shots - PERIOD! Harden is the only bright spot this season and IN THIS GAME!! Anyone who says otherwise is just not watching or a hater.
It would also require the team to actually MAKE a shot. Harden can't play defense when he's spent playing a 1 man offensive show. If you look at him last year he seemed to try harder on defense my guess is because he had some energy because his team actually MADE some shots. This problem would be no issue if the team would make some shots and if Ty Lawson actually worked out (that was a good fit, if it worked out). Instead we got into the playoffs and the basketball gods bless us with a legit way into the WCF, and we can't even form a little bit of care.
Sheesh, kids like you just don't have b-ball knowledge I am not blaming Harden I am blaming an org who PERMITTED him to be the whole offense. DD
Do you guys understand what it is like to play with a ball hog? The entire team stops moving the ball stops moving the rhythm is off - I am not saying Harden sucks - I am saying this is the ORG and systems fault or lack of one. We would be much better off if Harden didn't have the ball so much and he ENDED with the ball - rather than trying to initiate with it. He is just not a good PG, he is a great SG, but if you have one guy dominating the ball, his supporting cast is going to struggle. Look at GS, Curry scores MORE than Harden but everyone touches the ball and they move their bodies and the ball around - which is why they are much better than us. Now, go about bashing DD - I am comfortable knowing I am 100% SPOT ON ****ING RIGHT ! DD
Ty Lawson proves my point, he is tearing it up in Indiana - because he us with an ORG that knows what it's doing. DD
I thought Morey's offense was amazing right, I mean look at all the NBA experience and games the guy has played. Makes perfect sense for him to dictate what we do on the floor. Predictable and stupid, all you dork elvis supporters should go stick your head in the sand and pretend you never uttered the stupidity you spout on this board.
This is EXACTLY what I am saying. The team gets disinterested and then has to respond when he throws the a pass. That is called SELFISHNESS DD
Oh please. Harden dares to actually make shots and you call it hero ball? Plenty of other Rockets got shots. They all missed.
Exactly. IF Golden State beating up on the Rockets proves anything it is that u NEED the midrange in this league. Strength in Numbers - what a joke all of you analytics nerds must be crying tonight.
