    We have seen CP3 playing badly and being slow and missing shots, but he was never this bad and never being so selfish like Harden.

    Harden's just overall lost out there. It's just even the Iso 3's

    Even when he drives there's no urgency to commit, either he does that weird pass in the air, or he throws up a casual floater

    That's Harden's worse half I've seen in years. He's passing up easy layups and taking dumb shots.

    But the energy isn't there again. I don't get why we do this against the worse teams.

    We can manhandle the best team in the West, but can't
    break away from #12 in the East?

    Rockets are so happy to have a full lineup that they're playing too unselfishly.

    Did Jimmy call CP3 out when he was sucking badly ? And he was sucking badly. That said, Jimmy has been very bad tonight.

    There was something about last year that made teams lay down and die. It doesn’t happen this year...

    They put 15 on the warriors to start. Do that to a lesser team?

    It's not surprising. Our record against teams below .500 is beyond shocking. It's the reason why we're not top 2 at the moment.

    Fans are going to torch Harden tonight unless he picks up his game. Probably shouldn't be playing, may still be sick. No defensive intensity. Poor shooting and rebounding. We left it all in Oakland.

    You could call it unselfishly sloppy

    This next half should be the Capela and Faried show.
    Stop the damn threes and let the big boys go to work.

    Exactly. We played SO well to start too.

    People can say what they will about Harden, but this BS started after the 2 b2b Gordon turnovers, and then ATL nailing like 5 threes this quarter. Where was Faried all 2nd Q? What are Rivers, Tucker and Shumpert doing? A pinch of energy along with some ...average ...shooting puts this game in a much different place. Instead, we do ZERO things right for 7 straight minutes. As a team we failed in every aspect for 25% of the game so far, and lost the lead because of it.

    Harden doesn't look like himself, honestly. Hopefully we play smart... w/ energy in the end half. If so, ATL doesnt stand a chance.

    The problem is... we give every team a chance for no reason.
