    Well, then you are just selectively recalling what you’ve been “recording”. Fawning is exactly the right word for it.

    Of course they need to prove their championship mettle in the playoffs. That just goes without saying.

    Yep, but i don't really think we can trade for Tyson cause even if you package together Black, Zhou, Troy and Nanu, their salaries won't be enough anyway...i think we would be forced to trade Ariza or PJ with fillers to match so...unless we move Anderson in a trade for Tyson and a 4, but yeah...

    Harden is one of the worst, most disgusting defenders I've ever seen. I didn't even know he had 30 at the half because of how putrid his lack of contests, transition defense, and feet moving was.


    In the first half, Harden was a main culprit in giving up around 20 points. Literally the first 9 of the game, he let Kuzma get into a rhthym early by not contesting, and the rest is history.


    Houston will never win a title with him playing like that on defense. They will seriously struggle to beat SA in the playoffs if he plays horrible defense like that.

    beat by Brewer :( and Kuzma

    oh well, we really missed Clint’s rim protection, and with CP3 not being able to play in the 4th and Capela and Moute not available, I’m not mad at this loss

    time to start a new streak

    You can’t win them all but you also cant lose like that.Hopefully this will jolt them back into a sustainable 4 quarter effort

    You are corny as hell lmfao.
    Maybe if you tell me to wash my face another time I'll humor your dumb ass.

    Nah that won't happen because you're going straight to ignore.

    Hopefully this loss refocuses the team on some of the things they've been slipping on lately. Defense, turnovers, lazy passes, etc.

    on the flip side, the visitors' starting C and SG were not in the arena

    It undercuts everything they have accomplished when they add all those "buts". "Fawning" doesn't come wit caveats. I have read a lot of good things and heard some good things on podcasts, but the on-air stuff hasn't been enough for what they have accomplished IMO.

    We needed this.

    We didn't need to lose another player to injury though...

    Harden is playing on a sore knee and wasn't even the main guy guarding Kuzma or Brewer. Chill.
