The other thing is that the Raptors were never playing 4 on 5 or 3 on 5 against the Warriors on the offensive end. Gasol, although not his prime self, is still valuable in stretching the defense with his shooting and Green/Lowry/Van Fleet are all capable shooters. Houston would find itself playing 3 on 5 whenever Clint and another scrub wing is on the floor with Harden/Paul/Gordon or 4 on 5 when we start the game because GSW neutralize everything that Clint brings on the offensive end.
IF Raptors beat the GSW in a 7 game series, Morey/Tillman will need to rethink Rocket's analytics first strategy.
You can keep falling for this but I'm not. Harden will never get to the finals as the best player on his team. Book it. I'll put money on it. Whatever.
Yeah, can you believe D'Antoni left all of our guys that were tall, long, defensive studs that can shoot on the bench? What an IDIOT! You have to play the hand that was dealt.
Especially with a washed $40 million CP3 and a center who plays scared every time he sees draymond green, and a coach who constantly gets outcoached in the playoffs.
I love Harden but this is where his limitation as a two way player is magnified. Kawhi had an off night but could still stay on the floor because of what he can bring on defense. Harden, when ineffective, can't help out like that.
doesnt matter. its still relevant. its only irrelevant to those that hate the fact that it happened. shouldn't be that way but it is. if they were blown out that game, the hofs would be all over it. no doubt again hes shot terrible before and the rockets still won. there isn't anything inaccurate about that
Ryan Anderson was not traded with a first round pick. He was traded with Melton, a mid second rounder. The entire RA--->contract elimination did of course take the 1 first rounder, this years.
Oh my bad you were talking about FTs.dude are you serious, Harden has one bad game of FT shooting, gimme a break. Congratz to Kawhi for hitting them in Game 1 without Durant.
My point wasn't about coaching it's all about Morey putting together a **** roster with zero playable length
I know I got it, I believe you. But that doesn’t CP can not show up in the POs and we should expect to beat GS. No team us gonna win against GS with their second best player not showing up.Harden for the most part showed up.
I was Pro-Harden too the pass few years, however after this yr, I'm beginning to wain. I'm beginning to see Harden as a 1st - 3rd Qtr player but in the 4th Qtr, you can't find him or he's absent.
brought up once again, he showed up for game 6 thats for sure. still wasn't enough so here we are. you really can't go around blaming everyone else when he absolutely is part of it. he too gets his share of it.
