    Jesus Christ .some of you fans are the most things skinned shitstains I've witnessed on anninterebtbmessafe board .

    We are stating that instead of making the move with 4 seconds left on the lock on a routine basis like he did last game, he should make quicker moves because Harden is elite with bailout shots. The rest of his teammates aren't. He was forcing a lot of bailout shots to his teammates because he decided to initiate the play with 4-10 seconds left .

    He's not perfect but good like finding a better player. He's the best Rocket since Dream. Of all the blame to go around, Harden deserves the least. Without his effort we would have been blown out of the game by halftime.

    you started calling out people whenever the rockets lose

    rockets win = mavsprick no where to be found
    rockets lose = mavsprick all over the place

    Imagine it because it’s real. Last night is how you beat the warriors. Not iso ball 44 times until the shot clock is about to run out. Get a clue fan boy.

    so no mention of the lack of transition defense, Klay being left wide open multiple times, and KD being unguardable in game 1...stop being delusional

    also, courtesy of @mikol13



    ISO has been working, we also pushed the pace more and role players stepped up...KD was still unguardable, but we didn’t allow Klay to get off 15 threes with many of them being wide open...we also reduced the Warriors’ fast break points from 18 in game 1 to just 7

    Lol. There is a BIG difference in iso ball holding the ball until you’re forced to take a last second shot and iso where you set up quickly and start move moving the ball around quickly forcing the defense to make more than one adjustment and getting guys wide open shots. I’m as big a harden fan as anyone but he WAS the problem game one. If you can’t see that then you’re delusional. None of the other stuff matters if we don’t get and make open shots while forcing them to scramble on defense. We will never beat the warriors with harden dribbling as much as he did in the first game. PERIOD!!!

    Lol the Rockets has as much if not more isolation plays then game 1 but the iso plays were started earlier on the clock and finished In a quicker fashion so that’s why it looked Quicker

    Defense was a much bigger problem in game 1, and it wasnt just Harden.
