    I know Orlando is concentrated Garbage, but I want Harden to take notes. CP3 is shooting terribly but Rockets up big because of his attitude, defense and play-making. Everyone is involved so CP3's abysmal shooting isn't a problem.

    It seems that Harden thinks his worth is tied to his scoring when he can win games in other ways.

    Please bring in the second unit D Antoni for crying out loud.

    Starters need rest

    No that was different Harden than the recent one, where he played zero defense and turned the ball over four times in a row. Also couldn't hit a clutch shot to save his life, relied on ref-baiting way too much, and his team lost five games in a row. That version of Harden was a negative force on the court.

    Green with another solid game. Really taking advantage of the playing time. Hope we keep him

    i'm just glad MDA is playing a 10 man rotation tonight and we have a huge lead to give our starters even more rest.

    This is what ball movement does. There needs to be a memo sent to Harden

    Props to the Mike D'Antoni fan behind the Rockets bench wearing the old D'Antoni Milan jersey.

    Elite?

    Orlando will be tied for most losses in the league after the final buzzer sounds tonight.
    They’re also missing players.

    it's a true statement though. Harden just sits at the top of the key making everyone else play 4 on 5 when he doesn't have the ball. You see it. I know you see it. How easy would it make everyone job if he did something else when he didnt have the ball?

    why do you hate Harden so much? Obviously Harden missing has nothing to do with us playing much better defense with much better ball movement. It's not like those are Harden's well-known weaknesses or anything, right?

    Yeah, but Rockets have played trash during that 5 game stretch of losing. Rockets arent taking Orlando for granted. CP3 is doing other things besides scoring.
