    How can Harden lose track of his guy who just contested his shot?
    Straight up negligence. It was a 3 point game too this late in the gsme. The crunch time mental facts like this cost them

    Just watched highlights. Disgusted beyond belief. Backdoored play after play, yet we continued to overplay their guys, go under screens, not box out. Result of not having an accountable coach for 3 years. Hope this shows Morey that coaching actually matters.

    Harden is always lost on defense. He's the most absent minded defender player I have ever seen.

    Coach should simplify his D role. His role should literally only be stay with his man at all time. Even if the player he's guarding go pass him, and that will often be the case, catch up. Never help. Once he can do that consistently, expand his role a bit more.

    Thats called poor communication by the players. Coach pointed out the issue during timeouts, its up to players to be aware of their surroundings

    A good coach calls a timeout right there and then and blows up in the lazy players face ala Popovich style.

    Cod, first I really hope you recover, I am praying and cheering for you!

    I must take issue with your JB takes, though, I don't find him doing ANYTHING different other than getting them to play a little bit harder, but he is still making what I consider to be incredibly stupid decisions.

    Having Howard guard Thornton cost us the Atlanta game

    Switching EVERY pick and closing the lane when Atlanta wanted to kick it out for 3, was not smart either.

    Playing Brewer - at all - over Thornton - not smart

    Playing TJones over Dmo - not smart

    Not forcing the ball to be brought up by the PG every time and try to get early offense - not smart.

    I just don't see anything different and the league has figured out this ISO garbage.

    Where is the coaching? Cause I don't see it.

    I do see his passion, but I am not seeing any improvement in the areas that really matter.

    That is Limelight. A downtown club Harden frequently goes to after games. I've seen him there a couple times in the VIP area with crazy amounts of bottles

    Enjoyed our special guest, Les. That was refreshing to hear him. Forgot about his funny laugh. He got trolled by clyde right of the bat.

    Hes pretty sure we'll make the playoffs. I dont even bother to watch the highlights but for some reason my tv automatically turns on to Roots sports.

    Harden had just taken the shot before this play.

    It is not his responsibility to cover the transition bucket in this scenario.

    well he doesn't cover transition buckets for anyone else either so the argument is moot

    Tell me who on the Rockets is a flashy player?

    Howard isn't anymore, Harden isn't exactly Mr. Explosive.
