He's our lockdown defender. He's guarding 2 to 3 players, so to you dumb fans, it looks like he isn't guarding anyone- JB
Wrong, as the play was unfolding I wanted to see Howard shoot the gap more and try to force Hood off the three point line, similar to how you would treat Curry. I've watched numerous Jazz games this year and I can tell you Hood is deadly hitting clutch threes in close games, if he has even an inch of room. Howard was in a tough spot no doubt, I just think giving up the drive at that point would have been preferential.
Harden had a good game your hatred is getting a little out of hand. He made winning plays in the 3rd and down the stretch to get it tied he trusted his teamates and they came thru. He had 42 points hood had 18 and 6 of those came off highly contested 3s that just was better offense. I don't know what more some of you want from James. He played his ass off got us the lead got us back in it in the 4th when the bench lost it and played pretty solid defense. No other player off the bench went off but burks who scored 10 of his 15 in the 4th on ty Lawson's garbage ass. Lastly 42 is better than 18. Hsrden is not the reason we lost he's the reason we even had a chance. Why can't some of you guys see this. Hayward scored 28 on 8 shots and only missed 2 shots the whole game. That's why we lost he had the best game of the season for him.
That's still 9 less than 42... What's your point. Harden wasnt even guarding burks. Harden wasn't even on the court for 10 of his points.
Like I said before I must be a glutton for punishment coming back on this site arguing with idiots. Harden dropped 42 and his teammates **** the bed and your focusing on him like he went 0-5 10 turnovers no assists or something. Pretty sure with people who could actually make a shot Harden would have more assists. I'm not worried about Harden, the rest of this team sucks.
The harden hate is unreal. Dude balled and kept us in the game in the 1st half. Played even better in the 3rd to get us the lead. The bench squandered another lead in the 4th when harden was resting. He came back got us back in it to force OT. I'll take 5 TOs all day if your getting 42 points on 55% shooting on 30 shots. I don't think a lot of these ppl realize what's wrong with this team but it ain't harden. His teamates outside of howard ariza and Bev wouldn't even see minutes on any of the top 8 teams in the west. That's the problem with this team.
Corey Brewer should never play but he should REALLY never play when we are in the penalty. The dumbass reaches for no reason and costs us so many points
Lots of people here are disappointed this season. But what other result you can expect with an awful coach like JBB? Championship? LOL
Yup thats Corey Sewer in a nutshell. What pisses me off is when he actually gets a steal and you can just tell he feels justified for gambling all of the other plays which resulted in a foul or a blow by.
That was an exciting game though the Jazz should have been thumped. On paper they are way way weaker than the Rockets. Tough loss.
Yeah me too, there were a lot of blow out wins that year. If we didn't **** the bed in the last month I think we couldve been 6th seed. That Christmas game against Chicago was the best.
I have harped on Harden all year but lately it's not on him, far from it! The hate is ridiculous... It's coaching mainly and the players he puts out there who continuously do not perform: Ty & Brewer. How about giving Harrell some playing time, he would've gotten some rebounds for sure.
