ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 1/10/2016

And to say that Harden is to blame for plenty is not the same as saying he is to blame for everything.

 

No Harden wanted the ball so he could set of one last play and Dwight refused to give it to him. There was enough time to set something up. Harden wanted last shot.

 

We shouldn't be doubling , our guys aren't quick enough at rotations to recover . The last few games we played more man and it worked . Go back to it .

 

we just wont cover anybody... smh...

 

We are far behind of Mavs and Clippers this season. SMH.

 

Except for the fact that people are literally saying our bad defense is all Harden's fault. Go back and read it buddy.

 

They were the correct call especially the first one on Harden when he obviously shoved with his shoulder. People need to stop being blind homers.

 

I agree.

 

When someone is on you and there is no call I think a nudge to push them off should not be a call as well.

 

Nope. Quotes please. Explicit quotes. I haven't seen a single post where someone has stated all of the Rockets' defensive owes can be placed on Harden. He is a large factor behind it, but the defensive philosophy of constantly switching is a failure along with scrubs like TJones a, Brewer and Ariza taking a nose dive in his defensive output.

 

It was like 15 seconds left doh. Run for the outlet pass so u have even more time. When I was watching I'm thinking run run. That's our problem we don't run enough

 

Someone was on him? You mean they were playing defense? I know we are used to seeing Harden style defense, but 'being on' someone is considered 'defense'.

 

The Pacers were mostly back on D we weren't getting an outlet there.

 

It's the Harden Haters vs the Harden Homers....

Are you ready to ruuuuuuuuummmmmmble!

LOL!

 

No he was riding Harden, he was on him body contact.

 

Harden still needed to run to shake the defender that was obviously playing the passing lane between Howard and Harden. Howard saw this and was why he didn't pass to him. Harden needed to shake that man but that requires expenditure of caloric energy which we know Harden attempts to avoid at all cost.

 

No it's common sense posters versus Harden haters.

 

You mean playing defense. You can bump bodies on a offensive player when they are penetrating as long as you aren't hand checking.

 

Harden was right next to him I don't know what game you are watching. He could have just gave him the damn ball instead of the stupid plays he did.

 

Why would Bev give the ball up like that
