    How is the main culprit saying this?
    That's what I'm saying. Dude it's you... it's ****ing you that comes out with no ****ing passion for the sport. Like JB once said, stop disrespecting the game.

    play harder.

    True, and by using "we" I think he was including himself in the statement. He didn't say my teammates or other people need to do that. He said "we", and he's right.

    I missed the bus

    And that is something that I'll never ever ever do again

    Harden always talks about defense in his interviews but he hardly puts forth the effort in the game. His words ring hollow to me.

    People are such a victim of optics
    You have to mean mug and growl and spit . . . .. to make it look like you are 'trying'
    that good ole 'Fake Hustle"
    If you don't give all the physical "looks" of intensity
    then
    you obviously are not intense

    100% of the people don't know what is going on inside Harden

    It's better to miss the bus than to never have tried catching it at all.

    i had a real cool bus driver who would buy us mcdonald's fries on the way back from school. then one day he got fired because the cameras caught him speeding at a speed bump and the kids in the back (me) would bounce.

    Montrez is sitting at the back of the bus. Trevor is trying to take his seat. Rockets need to board the Magic Bus.

    Now I'm driving the bus!

    Perfect analogy. If you don't mind me taking it a little further, this is my fear for the fourth day trying to catch the bus in this series...

    "Oh, I only missed the bus by a few seconds. Just need to get out of bed a couple minutes earlier. I think the bus might've even been a little early today."

    I sincerely hope that missing the bus snaps them back to waking up early and getting their butts out of the door, so they don't take any chances.

    But who knows? The curse of being a Rockets fan is "who knows?"

    Little Bit always talks about Harden's defense in posts but hardly puts forth effort to watch games relying instead on lazy generalizations

    His words ring hollow to me.

    I think it definitely was a lack of focus and intensity to start the game, especially defensively. They were not ready to make hard cuts and to run the offense against an intense, high energy defense. They need to start out with the requisite intensity and focus so as not to miss the bus (had to sneak that part about the bus in at the end to stay on topic)

    I am wondering if it is an energy conservation thing for harden. Now just how lethargic they are to start is rediculous. The rest of the guys need to step up until Harden can carry it home.

    You gotta be the team that drives the bus. Not the team that tries to ride the bus. - Daryl Morey probably

    Can't believe people are dogging Harden in here.

    Dude has been giving us EVERYTHING in these last 3 games. You guys are insane.

    Bev, Ariza, Clint and Ryno need to be WAY more physical and aggressive to start the game.
