    It's not even that great of a defense, on our 3pt attempts, tbh. Tucker and LMAM have both missed wide open 3s.

    So James and D'Antoni had all offseason to dwell on the Spurs buttboning us in games 5 and 6, and we still continue to run Harden into the ground? 100 percent zero adjustments? Please, for the love of God, get Harden off the ball a little bit. This is insane.

    James better play the playoffs like his hair is on fire, b/c he literally hasnt played with effort since the Portland game.

    Dude missing point blank lay-ups while walking to the rim.

    4/22 from 3... yeah not gonna win many games putting up that many bricks from deep, and Harden has apparently been taking shooting advice from Corey Brewer.

    What’s the point of playing the starters if they are going to give a halfed effort?

    Yeah this game is a major indicator of why CP3 is so important to this teams success against good defensive teams (especially those that close out on the 3 the way the Spurs do). yeah we have missed a lot of fairly easy layups, FTs and a few open 3s) but this is ugly today w/o CP3

    Spurs force Rockets to shoot beyond 27 feet in every attempt. It is hard to make 3 pointers.

    He’s played like crap for most of the year and unfortunately I don’t see him turning it around in the playoffs.

    This is no Spurs defensive juggernaut at work here. We are simply missing wide open shots. We make those and we'd be up +15 points.

    Anyone have breakdown of James' stats for day game? Or am I imaging or having bad flashback nightmare of his partying at 5 am before a day game and looking like he's hungover?
