    Little things add up to being a massive conundrum.

    I don't give much credence to the words of T-Slack T-Wack Timid-Mac

    Totally agree. Way too many ifs.

    It’s a lot of things coming together:
    - last year’s playoffs (players know they got screwed over)
    - Bzdelik leaving
    - guys getting paid in Paul and Capela
    - Melo
    - letting Ariza and Mbah go
    - injuries
    - trade rumours
    - Harden having won the MVP (he looks way more careless about defense and taking care of the ball)
    - arrogance and big heads
    - mentality of thinking they’ve done something big last year
    - additions to the team

    Do you know this,
    The way Harden is playing costs him a lot of energy. It needs to save all energy for taking the ball to the rim. He should not be asked for playing defense.

    The rockets without harden should be better than the Cavs. I mean the Cavs might be the worst team in the NBA,

    This is coming from a guy with great perspective on the matter.

    Tracy will forever be a life sucker.

    It sure seems like it.

    How could that have happened? Rather than using their loss against the Warriors as fuel, they became demoralized by it. Which is not the mindset of a mentally tough team...which is likely also what led to their problems in games 6 and 7.

    How do you fix that? That's hard to say. It's kind of fundamental to team makeup and mindset. How do you change that?

    I wonder how much of that is influenced by the rig job the officiating felt like. Run it back...yeah for what?

    I can tell you as a fan, I was so disgusted by it I decided for the first time in 7 years to not have NBA League Pass. And I'm pretty sure as disappointed and disgusted as I am, the players were FAR more invested.

    Were......

    He just saves us from being blown out every night . .. . . .
    HE should still do more

    I am sorry but it is so hard for me to look at people critisizing Harden so harshly
    when the Warriors BIG THREE have it so easy

    People celebrate KLAY 52 points. . .. who did he defend that game
    Who did he shut down ? How many assists? How many of his shots were open off an assist?

    Harden has to get 30 a night AND is expected to dish 10 . .get near 7 rebounds
    and lock someone down . .

    The way they seem stuck to the floor, I'm not so sure.
