    I hope this is one of your sarcasm threads, because this is incredibly stupid.

    Youre a known Harden hater so this thread is invalid due to ulterior agendas.

    Rockets were up ten...insert James Harden in the 4th...the Rockets gave up the lead and they gave up an intensity with which they played in the 3rd quarter. This loss is completely on James Harden. And Im starting to think that he no longer is able to play off the ball and has become Carmelo Anthony 2.0. His play has started to become toxic to the offense, and while he is successful down the stretches of games, he must learn to trust his teammates and the Rockets need to force him to play off the ball.

    He passed several times to players well defended with less than 3-4 seconds. That is completely and utterly unacceptable. This team needs to work on how to play faster in the shot clock. And it all starts with the Beard.

    Its actually on JB. He acts powerless and deflect the blame. His coaching and subsituation patterns are suspect as hell. You already know Harden is gonna Harden.

    Harden ISO ball dribbling down the shot clock and jacking up 3's down the stretch absolutely cost us this game. He went all hero ball

    We did get enough stops near the end but offensively Harden was trying to be the hero. If we had run normal stuff and moved the ball around we would have won.

    His job as a coach is to get his players in right situations to win ball games. But he showed trust that Harden and Howard would lead the team to a win...Instead, Harden broke from playing offense within the team framework...and then reverted to shty defense...After tonight's comments, I do not think that he is going to let this outcome happen again during this regular season. His post game comments to me clearly indicates that he will start playing the guys that run the system...
