    Dude, I whine and cry about Harden being the best and he is the MVP, but nights like this **** looks like ****ing sabotage. It's just amazing the way he plays like the best player in the league, and a simple double team makes him look like like trash.. It looks like he is throwing games.. it really does..

    Lose 4 straight in the playoffs and youre going home. CP3 NEEDS to stay healthy, and so far he hasnt been.

    1) this was a scheduled loss with tony brothers and i called it as such on the first page
    2) harden started trying to show up kyrie in the 3rd Q and began going 1on1 missing wide open teammates on several possessions. again the 4th the camera showed these 2 jawing with each other. they have past history on team usa where harden outplayed kyrie until the final game when kyrie basically took more shots so he could barely edge harden for mvp.
    3) anderson is such a ******* p***y
    4) tucker made a huge mistake not calling a timeout before he was fouled and then made only 1 of 2 FT's. if he used his brain we probably win this game.
    5) mda's substitutions and game management in the final minutes were atrocious yet again

    The fact is, despite the choke, if Brothers doesn't call that foul the Rockets win this game most likely. He knew what he was doing.

    Brothers is either flat out terrible at his job or he's corrupt.

    harden has to be one of the hardest superstars to stan.

    one game looks amazing,next game looks like garbage.

    amazing one half, loses the game in the 2nd.

    great in the regular season, trash in the playoffs.

    has his best games when nobody is watching, has his worst games on national tv.

    Chris Paul is damn injury prone. I’m not holding my breath on him helping this team on a consistent basis. He’ll be in and out of the lineup.

    PJ Tucker is an offensive liability as well. Dude has no offense.

    Black had no business being out there. A 50 year old nene would have done a better job on al

    It’s hard to get open when the opponent can double you up. This is where off ball action like screens or stacks comes into play. Or we could simply pass it to someone else.

    In the end we did everything wrong, 26 point lead blown against a team with no offense.

    MDA never calls a timeout when needed during the game, and we waste two timeouts in the last seconds cause we can't even ****ing move to inboud the ball.

    Black comes into the game after a timeout for one defensive play and he makes a terrible mistake staying too close to Smart letting him burn him for an easy two.

    Those two flops by Smart were flops and so bad calls but still, not smart basketball from James, he should've know it.

    I always like to be nice about harden. But since he’s got the Kobe role he no longer gets a pass. If that was Kobe this would never happen and he would never gas!!!!!
