I'd rather we played with heart than be at the mercy of whether or not Harden feels like giving effort on any particular night... Harden of last year - no question, hold on tooth and nail. Harden of this year? More frustrating than watching .500 basketball from a bunch of guys giving their all - imo...
Still those guys fought and we were proud to be Rockets fans. Now meh we are alternately frustrated or laughing at our team's missteps.
Remember the last time there weren't 3 defenders in the lane? Have you noticed that Lawson can't drive against the defenses that we are seeing? How's Dwight's offense been? Have you seen Brewer slash to the basket? Nope, teams are packing it in and inviting us to launch outside shots.
