    Harden isn’t known for his 3PT shooting? I don’t know if that is an accurate statement, that is definitely one of the biggest things he is known for. If you mean that he isn’t looked at as an elite 3PT shooter, sure, but Gordon isn’t necessarily looked at like that either.

    They all suck. But it starts with the 4 leaders of this organization. James, Cp3, MDA, and Morey. They all have sucked so bad. I wish we could just start over fresh. I'd rather watch a mediocre team full of Scolas that play hard rather than watching overpaid Divas not show any effort.

    No **** . The entire reason we were up is that CP3 was making midrange and keeping the scoreboard moving while Dallas went on a drought .

    Just dumb dumb dumb strategy . Also those missed ft's killed us

    The moment you start having player's only meetings is when the season is lost..

    CP3 now likes to shake the opponents hands after we lose. I feel like he's on a retirement tour lol

    Already looking forward to next season.

    Hopefully we'll care next year.

    I guess my question is they ran pick and roll 4 out of their last 5 possessions before shoot free throws, why did we not do it once? My guess is Harden may have better results with DeAndre Jordan on the perimeter.

    Alos our defensive plan killed us again. For the love of god trap, do not switch fight through screens do something different.

    The leader of the team deserves a share of the blame for the team faltering. You too busy trying to defend harden without understanding its bigger than just Him. I don't put any one player over the team. Tmac was my favorite player of all time. When he gave up on the team, I didn't want him on the team anymore. Simple. The team follows the leaders. Unfortunately there isn't any.

    I think Nene was a +10 or +12. The defense tried not to switch Nene onto any guards and were better for it. The moment Clint checked in, he switched onto Luka in winning time and was dismantled.

    I'd be least worried about C more than any other position in todays NBA. If you got a floor spacing C that also beasts down low/boards and passes. Yeah. Keep him. Someone like Capela isn't going to be the "key to a championship formula." It just so happens Capela is our best asset. You've got to use it if you want to make a trade that changes enough of the roster to make a difference. Otherwise, there's no point of these small trades. Morey in denial if he still thinks were a few tinkers away from being back to last year. It's over. In the past. If you're not willing to do that, then you got to flat out tank for a lottery pick and package it for a star in the offseason.

    just makes no sense to switch against any team other than a team like GSW who also plays small. I bet even if Luka missed the 3, Deandre would have easily grabbed the board. On one of the last plays, we have Harden, Paul and Tucker sandwich DJ, and he still got the rebound and drew the foul.
