    You mean the series where he took the GOAT team to 7? You mean that playoffs where had the best advanced stats after probably Lebron that year. There is more to basketball than scoring efficiency. Dont be a ****ing idiot. EFG% is for people who are smart enough to FG% is terrible. You dont know basketball stop talking.

    The problem with Mac is, hes horrible on defense....like god awful and he has a propensity to just miss wide open shots, its crazy.

    I think Harden needs to go back to his old look. No headband and new haircut

    He just had 5 days off and he's a hooper. Its not fatigue but when you have been playing as well as he has for so long you are bound to have some off nights. I won't knock him too much for tonight but it's still disappointing he couldn't find some way to impact the game knowing it means a lot to Russ. That goes for the entire team though.

    Go cry with all the other losers in "H-Town." 18-6-5-4 on 50% shooting and 43% from 3 with 1 turnover.

    I agree 100%. I was hoping against hope that House could grow into that player but I don't see it happening. House is a good rotation player, nothing more. I don't know if a guy like a prime Luc or Ariza is available....but that would help tremendously.

    We need a rebalance. An $89M backcourt (with a severely flawed superstar) and a $28M frontcourt is going to be like what we have seen.

    with what assets? This team is like the guy who keeps trading in cars until he is so upside down that he could have two cars for that payment.

    Yeah...our options are bad.

    I was fine with starting House but he was a sieve tonight...really bad, everyone was blowing right past him and he couldn't stop anyone.

    Our lineups with Bmac are good, and we can't start House along with Russ's shooting. I'd bench house, I think he lacks the hunger he had last season, last season he was trying to make the team and prove himself to the league. Now I fear that he think he has and he's enjoying that NBA contract a lot. I was hoping he'd be like Bev, always hungry, always passionate, but...I'm not seeing it.

    lmao Chris Paul, Gordon, Ariza, and Tucker were bailing him out in plenty of those games. You think it was Harden carrying the team and hitting one tough shot after another like he's actually Kobe in the Playoffs?

    So cp3 is the reason why he is more mature?
    I saw him being a professional and the same athleticism. It’s just one more year of he working on his craft.

    People giving too much credit to cp3 for everything good in OKC. Schouder played like this with Russ. Adams played liked this with Russ. Gallo has been playing like this with the clippers and in Denver. And Alexander was showing flashes

    Russ really should thank you his mvp bro Harden for this embarrassing loss.

    We will possibly see this awful Harden in playoffs any time. History tells the truth.
