    This is horrible. To some extent the Sixers are getting lucky on some low percentage shots, but to a larger extent the Rockets don't give a crap on defense.

    Part of getting Chris healthy is we're going to struggle in some games that Peak Rockets won't struggle with - but this is just a lack of effort.

    Wish my boy Harden would take more mid range step backs

    Jeez bro, it seems like all your post are about criticizing Harden. He played all 13 minutes & has 17 points created, his defense needs to get better tonight but so does the rest of the teams.

    No defense. Likely loss.

    Quit being blinded by your love, Harden's defense, or lack thereof, is the primary reason we're losing.

    Yeah, lay off Harden. He's not perfect, but damn he is almost all we have tonight or we would be down by 20 already!

    Does Harden look slower to anyone else or is it just me

    It's early but the offense just doesn' look as good. I know we have injures but I just don't like what I seen so far besides the Warriors or Mavs game.

    We lack speed. Last year we had Lou, Beverley, bum ass dekker, and even Brewer who can all push the pace. The personnel we have aren't quicker than their counterpart opposition on the floor. And Harden isn't goin to push it consistently. We're slow and we aren't defending. We're lucky the competition has been bad so far on the schedule.


    I just can't wait to see CP3. Harden can't even pass down the floor cuz his teammates don't run besides Ariza

    It's all NBA vets, very few are primed for this season. Gordon is one.

    Quit assuming I blindly love Harden, look at my post history, I get on his ass too. I literally just said he needs to play better defense.

    But it's not his fault Embiid is destroying Nene & Ariza is busy building a brick house.
