    You dont remember james being doubles last year ? Wtf

    Its being executed very well with westbrook on or off because they are an elite defensive team. They are better small than their normal lineup.

    The Rockets lit the Warriors on fire for like, the entire series.

    that last quarter was no exception.

    they lost because of defensive rebounding and overall defense.

    I don't think Tilman Frittata wants to trade Harden

    Yup. A dumb player that cannot shoot... with Paul instead of Westbrook the Rockets also would have an elite defense... instead everything has to be schemed to help a mental midget not be exposed.

    I can already tell you what Harden will do on the double team/trap. He'll pick it up, and try to pass to the key, if that's not there, he passes backwards to guy 30 feet from the basket. We all know exactly what will happen. The Lakers know it too. That is not a plan.

    As much as we get annoyed at LBJ jawing at refs it does show how much of a competitor he is. Even in a blowout he still wants to get every single call

    I know, and it pisses me off every time it happens. The one thing any player can control is their in-game effort.

    Rockets double teams are useless against LA’s size, and work perfectly against the Rockets.

    Every year posters come up with excuses that the NBA is rigged just because the Rockets lost. Today, the Rockets came with no poise and no fire. James didn't feel like playing and the rest of the team fed of the lack of energy. Personally, I find the game depressing knowing damn well that the Rockets have been playing great D all playoffs. Its also deflating how they gave up on boxing out their man.

    This to me is a really really sad loss. It's frustrating because this is what we are poised to live with for the rest of Hardens tenure. While young teams are becoming more talented we are getting old and have no draft picks and we have crappy ownership.

    As a fan just deflated but oh well, I hope some day in my life I get to celebrate a championship.

    Harden, such a talented player and just doesn't have that fire that you need from a superstar. Ugh.
