The last 2 minutes of game 4 is why I hate our offensive philosophy at times.

    Seriously shut the funk up. Harden has a great game on both ends and you open this pile of Shiite thread. Get a life

    Yeah this is a concern moving forward. Luc sucking right now really hurts. Ryno can't be trusted. JJ? It's gotta be one of these 3 guys that can come in for some spot minutes.

    We are seeing bunch of bricks coming from Durant, Thompson, Curry, Harden and CP3 who are supposed to be superstars.

    Why did you only mention harden when he had only ONE isolation play which was a step back three?

    Certainly milking the clock but it allowed our defense to get set and it worked.

    You should go back and read amigo. You still seem to be very subjective in what was actually said.

    You are a filing lying ask of crap with a clear agenda to start a harden hating thread when he clearly had a good game. Harden had ONE isolation play in the last two minutes. It was Paul doing the misses but you only mentioned harden

    there was a bunch of good looks. just missed them.

    in crunch time, the game turns into an ugly half court game and the rockets offense is one of the most efficient halfcourt offenses in the league.

    Two years ago, the step back on the block or elbow was his go to move to end quarters or games. Haven't seen many since he became PG. I agree he should use that move more.

    The looks were okay never said that. I just wanted to keep stringing points together more efficiently. Very ugly but when Harden was posting up 3 years with his step back was so clutch.

    I do agree we need to maybe shoot more midrange late and cut down on the variance

    But I don't think we shot 3's because of philosophy late. I think it was due to tiredness.

    I have also been very critical of the Rockets offense closing games. But one thing to keep in mind tonight:

    Harden was clearly gassed after the 2nd quarter and never recovered. His step back jumper was ruined because of this. Too bad he didn't realize it and continued shooting 3s instead of driving each time.

    That all said, the Rockets gummed up the game and put pressure on the Warriors. When both teams shoot <40%, it's a big advantage to the Rockets.
