    a lot of y’all are so damn pathetic and predictable

    Where the hell was @ashleyem with this thread the past week or 2?

    When we’re winning, it’s all “Let’s get this title!”...”GS fears us!”...then the minute there’s a loss, threads like this start popping up

    bunch of frontrunning crybaby fans up in here for real...

    You're blaming Harden for not shooting 100.00% from the free throw line? Man, GTFO.

    Harden was 12/13 (92.3%) from the free throw line tonight. He scored 39 points, shooting 39% from the field and 33% from 3. He had as many rebounds (10) as our soft-ass center.

    If you look at the box score, even without having watched tonight, it's strikingly obvious where to pin the blame for this loss. Eric Gordon: 30 minutes, -12.
    If you watched the game, it's even more obvious.

    We'll see in the coming weeks if we're a championship-caliber team, but let's get our heads out of our asses about this particular game.

    bro shutup, a loss like this deserves doom and gloom. 2nd seed was in our grasp and you lose it up 13 in the final quarter. If you dont think that haunts us in 2 weeks, i don't know what to say to you. All of the losses to the cavaliers, thunder up 30 are erased by tonight's win. This is a monster loss and if you don't think that, you must be on some amazing drugs

    You are so right! Harden (or whatever his name is) sucks!!!
    I’ll be at every home playoff game to watch the sky fall.
    You seasoning your boneless wings with tears tonight? Jesus...

    We have no lenght and rely on scrubs, JH just mascarades that usually. We might win but its highly unlikely given our poorly build roster. Its not one loss. We looked bad every time we played athletic teams that are focused. We looked like **** in Portland, Miluwakee, OKC

    It's unfathomable and unhealthy how scorching hot we can get during quarters and how ice cold in others.

    I think MDA and Morey's system doesn't guarantee enough consistency.

    Who tf are u? Nah, u shut up. This crying is after pretty much every single loss. All these weak minded babies want to cry after every L because that’s what they do.

    bunch of frontrunners who talk all that hot sh*t about the team when they’re winning, but the minute they lose, start crying...WEAK

    We just rely on PJs and Riverses of the world. I mean look at Austins shooting form - it looks fundamentaly bad. He was like 30% from FT his rookie year. He can get hot and knock couple down, but to rely on his shot for spacing is just naive. As a oponent i would more than welcome 3pointers by Austin and PJ and just crowded the **** out of paint against Harden while staying on his left to prevent stepbacks. Playing PJ at PF requires greater ammounts of stamina too due to rebounding and paint defending woes. I just think its poor model to play 3 guards plus PJ at the rim. With Ariza or Luc we were way longer, with far more defensive ability without being out physiced yet we were at worst same in shooting ability. We then had Gordon coming in the role of Rivers to whom he is superior in every aspect and now you see how Morey ****ed this team up

    The chicken little argument is real. You still have to beat us in a 7 game series. It may not get to 7 against the majority of these chumps.

    Go ROX! We got this!

    Well if only Tucker is the one really hustling out there on defense then yes, you are not a championship team. Last year it was in the team's DNA, but even then it was only a few guys committed to playing hard and really wanting it. Two games now, Bucks and Thunder where the opposing guards got physical and tough a bit and only Tucker has responded.

    No team with CP3 and PJ on it can be considered mentally weak.

    We are not mentally weak.

    What we are is simply not good enough. We are lacking long 4/5's that can guard the post, switch everything and still rebound effectively, and shoot the 3. We had two guys last year in Ariza and Luc that did that for us. They're both gone. And we never replaced them. Therefore we are a worse team than last year and we aren't good enough.

    The Ryan Anderson signing is STILL biting us right in our derriere.

    There are certain teams that just get it and clicks on all cylinders. Milwaukee is one of those teams. They may not ultimately win the ring but they definitely look unstoppable. Meanwhile the Rockets are a live by the 3 die by the 3 type of team. And in a 7 game series, you won't be hot every quarter from every game. You have to generate offense besides the 3 and the paint once the defense closes in and that's just something we never learned to figure out as a team.
