If you want to be positive the reason you are paying him is so Harden can hit shots at the end of the 4th quarter. If Paul would have been out still tonight Harden would have most likely been too gassed to hit them this game.
Seriously though. Agustine, Fournier, Ross, Gordon are better 3pt shooters than the Rockets could ever hope to have Nikola is a beast down low. Simmons, Bamba, Isaac are all long no way they should be this trash.
Alright, dude this is his FIRST game back from a grade 2 hamstring injury. He's only gonna get better as he plays more games. Also,......its really really REALLY lame how people on this forum count other dude's money.
Yeah, I think a lot of his mindless running around is mitigated when he's playing with other players that have high energy levels. No stats to back that up though, just a feeling. If his minutes are reasonable, I think he can be a positive, even if I've been a bit harsh on him in the past. I think he was pretty solid this game, and he's been playing his role well for a few (despite some late-game shenanigans)
Yeah, we're all disappointed with the way they played in the first half, and they've been falling into big deficits early in recent games. But if we care about this team and believe in the potential that they absolutely have, then it's important to have faith! I really dislike the infant-like whining that takes place here as soon as things don't go our way (not directed at you personally).
