    I’m listening to the game and seems like the rockets were moving the ball before harden came in and gave up the lead....hmm :confused:

    It took him less than 24 hours to get out of game shape

    actually moving the ball is the reason we lost the lead. We kept giving up open shots and turning it over

    No one will even consider CP3 is an elite defender at this stage, but since he came out, not only the ball is not moving, but suddenly the whole team just standing there like r****ds and totally forgot how to play defense.

    All harden needs to do is defer really until second half and make/take the layups he's given. The other guys just seem to wait on him to iso. No cutting really to the basket, etc.

    I think Harden has been playing me ISO-ball for so long, he's forgotten how to play in a fluid team environment. We also aren't playing good defense like we were against the Warriors. It seems like when Harden is in, we play All-Star game type defense.

    Rockets need to realize Harden is a lazy looking player. The other players need to bring Energy so Harden is the one that has to rise to that energy level. It's one of the worst parts of his game.

    I was so elated to see the win against the Warriors ! But, we need to sustain that type of play. We clearly look like the team that has given up big leads and lost. Energy just not there ...AGAIN. Very disappointing.

    While it's easy to relate it to Harden, he is not why we turned the ball over several times 10min ago, people missing wide-open shots, poor interior defense and rebounding.

    He had a couple of bad moments, but that's it. Overall the team is playing stupid right now, and it sure seems like they have this special moment once a game. I guess I'm glad to have it early rather than late... but yeh, it's not on Harden right now.
