    Nene is more useful. Plumlee is a playmaking C who can't defend well or protect the rim.
    We need a defensive big.

    this team looks like a first round exit to me, if opposing team just takes harden out of the game, nobody else on this team can make a play, it's just turnovers after turnovers, somebody needs to tell these guys if the threes are not falling you can still drive to basket, rebound and defend, it's a basketball game not 3 point contest

    WTF did he do tonight!? The whole team was worse than him & stunk it up, but you chose to **** on him based on his past and some McFail quip during the half.

    Dude has been a damn beast all season besides his D. He's in shape... wtf are you even talking about.

    Everyone sucked tonight, but let's don't pretend like Harden had a good game. Inefficient shooting + turnovers + bad D is always a terrible combination no matter what volume stats you put up.

    is mchale with the team? you've gone hysterical with this accusation with zero proof that any rocket, much less harden, was out partying last night. mchale doesn't know jack about this team, but he is the same guy who cries to wifey lynn that harden didn't support his atrocious coaching. and after his little joke tonite the same harden went on drop 40 in a triple double, mainly because his teammates couldn't make anything at all. 3-17 gordon might as well have played drunk

    "James' partying" is considered "unreasonable hyperbole"!?!!

    Everybody has their place in the world. Homers too.

    I made a single post before ppl started quoting me.
    And secondly Harden is the superstar of this team.
    His future and behaviour and perfomance is much more important to me than Brewer or Gordon.

    Stop hatiing and give credit where it's due.

    2nd-round exit is most likely ;)

    I'll let you in on a secret...

    Harden's been partying all season. He is also in the midst of an MVP campaign with historic production.

    His "behavior" seems to be working just fine. Shoot...can we get some more guys like Harden?!?

    You sounded like the campaign manager for Trump.

    So let me get this straight.
    You believe that Harden this season doesn't go out to party during the regular season?
    Is that right?

    I thought Harden was quite lethargic for the most part of this game and made too many lazy passes.

    This team is overrated and our defense will always suck with these coaches and players. The Heat practically raped our defense the whole night.

    That game wasn't much fun to watch. Terrible defense!! I can't wait until Clint gets back in shape so he can play longer. Guys were just letting them score in the paint way too easily and far too often. Gordon should have come out, because he was struggling to do much of anything out there. I hate when Coach leaves Gordon, Beverly, and Harden in together. Give Wiltjer a chance!
