    If you want to be one of the top players in the league, you can't follow up amazing performances with scrub ones like this..

    Doubtful. We don't have the personnel at the moment to stop Wall or their bigs.

    MDA needs to have a serious talk with Harden again?

    Seriously, though. I think that's about as bad a half as the Rockets can play. EGO can erase this lead in under 2 mins if he finds his shot.

    This game would be easier to stomach if I didn't just give up smoking like two days ago. I can drink but then I'd just fall asleep. What do sober people do to relax?

    Eh. Everybody in the league has nights like this. It happens.

    Except Lebron. He is immune.

    Harden is the kind of player who needs to be humbled from time to time. He may be still caught up in his historic night the other night but he needs to let that go and get to work. Players miss shots so not being too critical for that but it appears he really didn't come to play tonight and Wall came out with purpose.

    Even Clutch the Bear is missing everything. Jeebus.

    I'm still not worried. Ultimately I think win this game by 10 or more. We played like shet, but if we hit 3 more of those 3 pointers, it's not even that big of a deal. We will play better in the 2nd half.

    We won the second quarter after playing bad in the first. Just can't hit a shot but credit to the Wizards, they are not letting us get many good looks

    I miss the old Clutch. No offense to this guy, but Clutch is soulless now.

    Bad shooting happens.. time to effect the game in other ways until it starts to come back.

    Bev is the 2nd most important player on this team.

    Defensive highlights only, offense was suicide inducing

    The thing that worries me is Harden always plays bad when there are more attention. He has a lot of 'let down' games, maybe more so than other superstars. I don't know why, probably a mental thing.

    Harden went from HERO to ZERO in one game

    I doubt we go 2-15 from three in the second half.
    Can happen but hoping not.
    Does the Wiz keep up their good three point shooting?
    Hope not.

    This is a team that could take this lead in the first four minutes on good nights.
