    Wasn't KOC just standing up for Harden?

    He's always stood up for Harden. I think he's just tired of putting up with Harden's very odd tendencies in late game situations as are many of us Rocket fans.

    Yeah he was and still is. If you watch the video he still talks about how he likes watching Harden and the Rockets.

    yeah it's harden's team. that's obvious but he sure is lonely over there. RoCo and PJ doing their best. Where's wb? on that's right way out there by himself. boy what a robin. you can replace harden with anyone else in the league and they'd defend the rockets the exact same because his robin sucks

    They are in tier 2 contender purgatory.

    Can't move up and can't drop down.

    I hate to say it and it’s sad to say but I’ve said this back around game 7 against the thunder but Morey needs to be shown the door as well after the season.

    I'm not on this get mad at players that have already maximized their talent teez.

    Harden and MDA (and Russ) are the ones I get angry at the most because I know there is still more they can do, but for some odd reason, refuse to do.

    MDA has a predictable offense with no plan B

    Harden purposely takes out the moves that got him his first MVP votes and refuses to do anything when he doesn't have the ball.

    what exactly is plan B when your other ball dominant guard can't shoot, handle the ball, and makes dumb decisions. Give it to PJ? Give it to RoCo? Give it to wish wash EG? or lets play clemons. that sounds nice

    and the defense knows that so all they have to do is force harden to give up the ball. how anyone is giving harden #1 blame after looking at that pathetic graphic is beyond me. some of you really need to understand what you're watching on the floor

    Tucker, Covington and Harden...only ones who are performing to their potential and when they get tired from carrying, people get mad....sad as hell.

    this is the answer. oh boy. based on what.

    who's going to create off ball action for harden to be more effective than he already is. So apparently he needs to be completely off the graphic for people to take him seriously. who's going to create this offense where the attention still isn't on harden.

    YOLO, before I even apply anymore keystrokes to this conversation... do you know what off ball action, or moving off ball, even means? How can you ask me who is going to create off ball action for Harden with a straight face.

    You going to have go through my post for when I have ever said I would not be back. I said I would not be back for a long time if the Rockets lost to OKC only. I'm VERY relieved they didn't lose to OKC and is why I'm not that angry with the Rockets being down 3-1 to the Lakers.

    what in the world are you talking about? lets say I entertain this silly idea that off ball action or moving off ball does anything for the ridiculous problems the rockets have. who in the world is going to get the ball to harden to actually create that. that doesn't solve how the defenses will play harden.The idea of harden running around like curry is just plain silly. get this ymca level bs outta here

    What's sad is their are and has been real opportunities to make even subtle changes and MDA is unwilling to do that. MDA is a really good offensive coach but when you look at the coaches who have won they had to make adjustments. This is why the Lakers fired MDA
