    You're wrong. Their minutes are staggered because MDA wants one of them on the floor at all times. If they both played together the entire time this wouldn't be possible.

    Yea exactly. He wants one on the court at all times. That way they don’t exhaust themselves by playoff time. I’m sure they will be sharing more time on the court on the playoffs.
    Plus we already know they are pretty good when they are together. Like with tucker Luc and Ariza. Or with Gordon.

    another poor shooting night against Roberson & PG13. If the refs decide to swallow the whistle, this dude is nowhere as good as some delusional homers think he is.

    Predictable offensive moves with no athleticism. Pretty easy to guard if you're a good defender, tbh

    EASY TO GUARD?

    He's leading the NBA in scoring genius.

    I guess he wasn’t killing PGand Roberson the third with one on one coverages. The reason they stopped him somewhat was the rotating doubles. This Lin troll hast lost the plot.

    Even hubie said every time they went single coverage harden exploited it but they are squally had a second or even a third guy rotating

    if by 'killing it' you mean scoring on two straight possessions, with 6 points in total.

    lmao, idiot

    Let’s not get carried away mate. I know you’re not a fan of harden but saying he’s predictable and easy to guard makes you sound stupid.

    They trapped him hard and nobody else can do anything when Paul isn’t on the floor. He sure can play off the ball better but that’s not our system and that’s another story.

    No moron 14 points in the third when they played him single coverage. Lin troll. The third when hubie said they are now trusting their guys to stop harden one on one which failed miserably hence they reverted back to doubling him like in the first and second quarter

    yeah because Harden didn't always struggle against Roberson and Paul George when they didn't trap in the past?

    Harden did actually blew by Roberson on single coverage last year in the playoffs, they do need to trap him. You probably just don't watch games

    They are great defenders I’m not taking that away from them. But if 29 &14 is a struggle for you then I guess you’re right. Rockets as a team fumbled in the last minute of this game. We all know harden isn’t perfect but he is who he is, our best player and when Paul is back and healthy we are really dangerous.

    hey beta boy, was Harden also trapped during that last three point attempt against Roberson when he embarrassingly tried to bait the refs into giving him the foul instead of trying to make a clean shot, and practically gave the game away?

    Exactly. Harden is the best iso player in the league. Nobody can guard him 1on1.

    Are you talking about Harden?

    "Predictable offensive moves with no athleticism. Pretty easy to guard if you're a good defender..."

    With all due respect, are you freakin' crazy? The fan of another team simply trolling here for "laughs?" You do realize that you're making yourself look like a bloody fool, right? Actually, it's worse than that. Someone called you an idiot. I think that was an huge understatement, inadequate to describe whoever makes the posts you keep uncorking here, in my opinion. Could someone be impersonating you? I want to be fair.

    As an aside, have you ever been to the former Yugoslavia? A pleasure trip to look up a member of ClutchFans that we haven't heard from in like forever could be loads of fun for you. Old timers may know who I'm referring to, assuming he still lives. The fellow always preferred sheep, but he might enjoy meeting a goat.

    Hey, I just had an idea. You could open a brew pub there, somewhere, and call it The Brewer's Goat! It sounds perfect. A new life could be just the ticket. Think it over!

    [​IMG]

    Just think of the fun you could have in the Balkans. With a satellite dish, one those that are 6 or 8 feet across, perhaps on top of one of those big escarpments behind this imaginary image of you playfully looking for The Sheep Guy, you might even be able to catch a game from time to time. Consider a trip there after the holidays. You could report back in a year or two and tell us all about it. It could be exciting!
