    For all the grief Harden is getting on this board and much deservedly so, he's still setting up guys on makeable shots. Do I blame Harden for not making those shots?

    I don't know how to react to what I'm watching, but I would really like to see Gordon, Anderson, and Williams walk the plank before I decide to hang Harden on the proverbial noose.

    Gonna take a hell of a 2nd half to overcome the stench of cowardice, but I have a little faith. I don't know why, I just do.

    Only one thing left to do bench harden and complete the comeback w/o him. It wouldn't be the first time

    If a 26-27 year old adult can't handle criticism and his response every time is to mentally check out and take his ball and go home, he is mentally soft.

    He's guarding them, but there is only so much he can do. It really depends on how good or bad THEY play.

    The biggest thing it does though is that if they miss, Harden gets the ball behind the team instead of outletting into the fastbreak.

    It worked game 5 because Pau and LMA sucked. They are not sucking this game. Let Ariza guard one of them, Harden has to nut up and guard Simmons.

    you only want low variance if you're playing a team worse or equal to you.. if the other team is clearly better i would easily take high variance. 30 pt loss same thing as a 1 pt loss. still a loss.

    as for this series it sucks because it seems we are much better than them but we haven't exactly 100% shown it

    This team has one real center in Capela and Ryno who can't guard anyone on the court. Ariza can't guard the post. James Harden can't ****ing guard the post.

    There is nothing D'Antoni can do with the personnel he has. Montrezl is trash, overrated as **** dime a dozen trash player and I will shoot myself if people keep pretending like he's a good player.

    And to think I watched every Rockets game this year… It's sort of like Bluto when he realized seven years of college had gone down the drain.

    I hope Ariza went into the locker room and completely chewed Harden's ass. Anything less is unacceptable. He looks like he smoked a blunt with Steve Francis before the game.

    I'm numb right now, I feel nothing, I'm in shock

    Harden, I can't believe you're about to go out like this

    I won't even try to defend u after this performance, he has written his own narrative...he looks like a totally different person tonight, and we are getting blown out at home to the Spurs with no Kawhi

    Spurs have just proved that Moreyball is a gimmick. Moreyball might be discredited forever.

    This does not make any sense whatsoever. Did someone kidnap the real James Harden?
