    So, MDA went with the percentages. Smart coach! ;)

    The play was drawn up for Russ to attack the basket by MDA according to Harden. So the ones calling out Harden are just wrong.

    Eric Gordon was pure garbage and he was tje main culprit even more then Russ being Rusty. He needs his minutes cut down significantly.

    I don't know if that's the answer, we haven't gotten those easy lobs since 2018. We got blown the hell out against OKC when we played Capwela and Hart earlier this season.

    Teams sniff out the lobs quite easily now and Capela kinda just stood there doing nothing most of the time

    Game 7 is it for Hardens legacy or what every you want to call it. If we lose and he shows up like this again that will cement him as a playoff chocker.
    CP3 firing shots. Let’s see if he responds.

    That’s an insanely stupid play call........so I 100% believe that D’Antoni made it. I can’t believe Harden went along with that. He knows better so I blame him as well.

    Dantoni talking like we have a lot of time to clean things up. I’m sorry, you have one game left to save the series and your job.

    Westbrook...runs like a deer, jumps like a deer, thinks like a deer.

    Don't worry though...we got home court in game 7!

    Just tired of losing. When you have a top player and a star, it is expected from you to win games. Sigh

    Why not kick your star player in the ass and get him going and FORCE him to have the ball by, you know, drawing a play up FOR him?

    Amen.

    People are going to be in for a mighty rude awakening when pretty boy Tilman Jr is the GM.

    I expect Clutchfans to lose numbers in droves at that point.

    Harden needs to step up big time next game to shut those playoff narrative about him away.
    I'm expecting a 37/7/7 game.

    You couldn't have factored in Westbrook playing dumb?

    Come on now... he's shown us for years that's exactly what we should factor in.

    I have zero faith in MDA to do anything that will help the team win game 7. They will only win if Harden decides to be uber aggressive (we’ll see about that) and/or Westbrook and Gordon don’t completely suck.
