    We’ve been losing games because the whole team outside of Russ has been struggling. No one wins a game alone. Smh

    If Harden would attack the rim while his shot is off....we’d be a decent team..........

    Harden never cares to box out, it’s a serious issue!

    Don't get your hopes up so soon, the infamous 3rd quarter is coming.

    I'll keep saying it until forever.

    Russ and Harden are not the issues on this team.

    Even Harden's shot being off we have a lead against a good team, the other guys just have to hit their shots. We've been HORRIBLE from three this month.

    I do wish we'd play Hartenstein more and expand the rotation to see more of these players just for the sake of competition and fresh legs. That's my main complaint with the Rockets and their defensive lapses of course.

    Russ is playing well it's the bad couple TO's that have lead to 6 points.

    The thing is with Harden, he's actually playing well in other areas. He's still getting a good number of rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. He's still hitting his free throws. He's still hitting his layups, floaters and dunks consistently.

    There's definitely something wrong with his 3pt shooting. Yeah, I know he can have bad 3pt shooting nights.... but I don't think ever seen this many in a short amount of games.

    This is correct.

    3rd quarter is when the Rockets usually implode. We'll see how they come out at halftime.

    Of course Mike plays Tucker 20 minutes in the first half. WTF...

    Let Thabo soak those minutes.

    I’m guessing 5 fouls on us in less than 3 minutes....

    I’d like for Mike to draw some plays up for PJ to get him some more looks. We gotta get him going.

    The problem is we know House, Rivers, McLemore, Gordon and Tucker will still have a lot more inconsistent games. We can't rely on them for the rest of the season or the playoffs.

    So that means he’s only playing 10 minutes in the 2nd half right? Lol
