    Genuinely cannot remember the last big game or big moment Ariza's had.

    this is so true, we waste so many possessions.

    I don't understand why Ty isn't getting a ton of minutes. He really helps our crappy offense and Thornton too. Meanwhile Dmo gets like one post up attempt per game.

    We just don't play to our strengths.

    So much Harden nitpicking at this point.

    He's been bad this year. His number of attempts and percentages at the rim are way down, but the past couple of years he has been an elite finisher at the basket.

    I completely disagree. Harden has gotten our players wide open looks. Ariza has missed about 4 wide open threes. Capela has missed two lay ups off Harden passes. What more do you want? He's hitting the open man, he can't help the fact that we are surrounded by below average shooters. How do you grow faith in teammates when they regularly miss open shots?

    Another HUGE difference is, while Hakeem and Jordan weren't trusting their teammates, they still played all-world defense.

    Harden is 5 steps behind.


    Meanwhile, Harden still trusts his below average 3PT shooting self.

    It's just stupid. On defense, yes he needs to play better. However, on offense? What more can he do? He has 18 points, should have about 10 assists if Ariza could actually hit a shot, or if Capela could actually finish.

    Harden is not the problem tonight at all on the offensive side of the ball.

    I know why our defense is sucking in recent seasons.

    JB doesn't know what the hell is defense as our defensive coach!!!

    This is pathetic!!!

    You keep getting them looks....to keep them involved, they will grow.

    As for Ariza - yeah, I hate that guy on offense.

    I can't help it if I see the game on a much higher level than you do larvae - one day grasshopper you will see....maybe.

    We need two way players. We have dudes like Ariza and dudes like Lawson and Thornton. It's fine sometimes but it makes constructing lineups very difficult

    It's pretty clear that the best pass in a drive and dish is to the corners, not back up to the top of the arc...Thornton shoots around 47% from the corners, so maybe that's where he should've been instead of Ariza who couldn't hit water from a boat in the middle of the ocean tonight.

    You act as if 'playing defense better' is just a small hick up in Harden's game. No, it's a HUGE flaw. He plays some of the worst defense in league history.

    Well any pass is better than bouncing it off the opponents arm pit hoping to get a foul called.

    But Harden is playing well tonight - very well.....even on defense.....overall no complaints.

    I just found that last play funny.

    Ding ding ding we have a winner. He's found guys for tons of open looks tonight.

    And for all this Harden Thornton bull****. I'm at the game watching the bench and Hardens reactions and no one was happier to see Thornton score.

    Some of y'all have seriously gone off the deep end with the harden hate and conspiracies
