ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 5/24/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 5)

That’s not an excuse! They brought cp3 here! This is the real finals

 

Harden needs to go pass his defender so he can open the floor for his teammates

 

I can’t believe harden has been this bad! He’s carried this team all year but tonight is not the night to fall apart. I hope he finishes strong

 

i mean be as it may he is the supposedly mvp. play like one. thats not false logic. the role players are doing what they can. cp3 stepped up coming out of the half. it would be nice to harden to join the party at some point

 

It will be a miracle if the Rockets win with Harden playing like this.

 

Harden dribbling until 3 seconds and jacking a 3 drives me ****ing crazy. When he does that on a night where he’s 0-100. It makes me want to punch my tv.

 

Man this is frustrating watching Harden struggle, he has got to get something going or the Rox are in trouble down the stretch run unless Ego and CP3 somehow dominate. I can hear the narrative brewing .... Please don't let this happen James, just get one 3 to drop and **** will explode !!!!

 

Harden should sit on the bench for awhile - total liability out there.

Heaving bricks and watching KT hit uncontested 3s

 

Yes they are. But we need to make our shots.

 

Just seems like they've taken more this game. Either way, the Rockets are showing absolutely no fear against this Warriors team. In fact (despite the missed shots by the Rockets) it feels like the Warriors are the ones who are frustrated with not being able to do what they are accustomed to doing. This is anyone's game but advantage Rockets

 

All Harden is doing is settling out there. He doesn't have it from outside so he needs to either drive or keep the ball moving. Harden is keeping the Warriors in it.

 

So is CP3 all of a sudden not tired? Stop w this bullish!t narrative that harden is just gassed... he’s playing as much as Durant and curry and CP3. If harden doesn’t have the stamina to play above a complete garbage level in game 5 of the WCF how in the hell is he gonna lead a team into the finals? The adrenaline of the situation alone should power him through to at least a role player level of play.

Stop making excuses for him, he routinely disappears in huge moments. Why are some of y’all just ok w this??

 

This game is on Harden at this point.

 

**** me please stop with the Jurrasic Park dinosaur ****, ok admittedly I haven’t seen anymore then the first one but come on . Haha

 

Simple, he's a moron.

 

JUST missing shots?

He's cancer to everything he touches on both ends. He's not passing well, he's not rebounding, he's getting DESTROYED on defense.

And he isn't decisive at all offensively. Killing any rhythm.

CP3 should be optimizing the starters right now, because Harden isn't doing it at all.

 

Rodney McCray went 0-15 against the Jazz in '88, and that would be hot tonight.

 

Harden, get your man back peddling for the step back midrange

 

Let CP3 run the show the last 3 minutes and sit Harden. He’s hurting the Rockets on both ends.

 

I would hope so, one would hope GS would wake up too....
