    Nah, I blame CP3 because he's supposed to be the co-leader. Harden did his part (and more) during the injury. Time for Cliff Paul to step up and earn those humongous paychecks.

    We do have Clint Capela

    but I also think we need another defensive big for times when we keep getting penetrated from the front

    PJ's problem is that he's a marginally talented NBA player who gets by on toughness and effort. That seems to work about 2 out of every 3 games. That 1 game, though... ugh.

    I think we should probably get a guy like James Johnson,....then we could slide PJ over to the three.

    He keeps on taking 30 plus shots a game, it's too obvious he cares too much about this 30 point streak. Harden should be more worried on how to get the team better and not this record.

    Yeah, all I could think about is how they had their way with us in the paint without some of their stars and how ugly the game could be when we face the Warriors with Cousins. I don't think I can even stomach watching that game. It could be really ugly, and watching Curry smirk would make it worse.

    Hold on, where did I ignore that fact? Can you please quote word for word where I ignored the Pelicans were undermanned?

    Or are you back to spouting nonsense again?

    I really wish ANY of our players not named Harden could play good for more than one game in a row, so Harden wasn't forced to take all these shots.

    Which is it by the way because you kind of backtracked. Did Harden have a bad day shooting the ball, or did he quit? Does he still have that loser mentality if a few more of those shots went in? I can't follow your logic.

    One of the most pathetic games of the season. Everyone was disappointing even the coaching.

    Trot out 6'6 guys at center
    Do not be surprised when the opponent grab 66 rebounds
    or that there's a red carpet to the basket.

    We’ve not played well, even in our wins lately. Falling behind, relying on Harden way too much and needing a comeback. Defense is pathetic, this team won’t even make it out of the first round. You seriously cannot beat the lowly Pelicans without AD and make Jahlil look like a star?! Need a new coach and commitment to defense.

    height means nothing when it comes to rebounding, rebounding is a skill, people seem to forget that. Also teams don't go chasing the offensive boards like they use to

    This team has been 15-6 hardens hot streak. You can’t make garbage better. Do you watch any games? He creates a ton of of open looks and they miss them

    He forgot he got CP3 and Gordon back who are solid playmakers as well when all defense are focus on him

    Yep, after Capela went out I could not believe that Hartenstein still was getting DNP-CDs. They seem to think that playing super young players is against the law.
