    This is why you never get excited about scoring 50 points against 76ers. This is the real state that this team and Harden is in right now.

    Too in love with the 3 right now. It would be a different story if they were falling but we need to take it to the hole more often. I see too many drives to the basket and pass back out to a 3 pt line.

    Rockets have completely lost the defense and shooting that made them great. Going on a month now.

    Awful effort by everyone and what's up with our offense, shooting all these threes within 5 seconds, heavily guarded and there's just zero body and ball movement. I don't understand how anyone can find the Rockets entertaining in general. It's amazing we are top 3 on offense, because it's so one-dimensional. Still the same **** as under McHale: switching, soft defense and a lot of bad shots with Harden holding the ball.

    Trade Jim Harden while his value is at an all time high

    Maybe Jim Harden for CryMelo Anthony

    This team, when mediocre from three-point range, is not a great team at all. And they've been mediocre from three-point range all month.

    Clear something up for me - Does that mean two hands at one time, looking or thinking of two ladies at one time, one fap but twice the speed, or just fapping twice?

    Cause you know, maybe I can maximize my enjoyment of life by not watching this game and doing that.

    Boy do I miss the days Jim Harden attacked the rim when his jumper wasn't falling rather than trying to shoot himself out of a slump. Even Curry/Klay do it when they're off.

    Hope MDA slaps some sense into him in the 2nd half.

    They don't care about defense anymore. Just let teams waltz into the paint.

    Yup and this is where the analytics skeptics are proven right. Just because some formula tells you mid-range and post up are worse points per shot or whatever and a corner three is better than a long 2 does not mean you should ignore that part of the game. I wish I wasn't a Rockets fan, because I hate how dumb we play.
