    Bron and AD did a bunch of turn around jumper. A Rocket defender doesn't have to jump for the contest, but at least put both hands straight up to somewhat obstruct the shooter's field of view.

    Rockets need to get better at defense without fouling. Adjust to the way the game is called.

    Yes because it's a valid point that Harden cultists keep on dismissing.

    Yeah this is a clusterf**k in every possible way. Granted they are playing arguably the best team in the NBA but frankly this is a bottom dweller team, Harden doesn't care its clear, but I dont blame him.

    I guarantee you Harden dominates in the 76ers. They actually have decent spot-up shooters and an elite big man who can play defense and score. If he went there, the 76ers would be instant favorites for the championship.

    It's not a coincidence that Harden was carrying when Wall wasn't playing. Wall and Harden just don't work well together. Not saying it's all Wall's fault, but he can't score the points Harden can. He certainly can't create as Harden can. We have the same situation as we did with Westbrook.

    Y’all don’t even talk about his defense which actually looks like a problem but somehow the off ball movement loool that’s whatthr problem is. Its about knowing basketball man.

    Ya, and that's probably because Jackson suits their roster and management. Lamar is cheaper also. But every other GM in the NFL would rather have Watson than Lamar.

    Looking at the score

    we were only out scored by 2 points in the second quarter

    maybe we need to make a change to the starting lineup

    Brown can shoot but can't do much else. Silas has to change his offense up and I have no idea why we're not trying to match their size.

    People say you can't have big lumbering guys like Marc Gasol out there...yeah...about that.

    Take away the Lakers second chance points and we're down 4...take away half of that and we're down 14...it's a big deal not being able to get rebounds, Wood is garbage at rebounds.

    Please take away any pens or markers from Christian Wood. We don’t need him circling anything ever again.

    Lmao Lamar Jackson. Now it’s Harden’s fault when he runs the offense and the other guys can’t efficiently score!

    There's no chemistry. Tucker is one year older. Gordon hasn't shot consistently for like 18 months. We have no good defensive big man to stop the Lakers in the paint. We saw what happened in the playoffs. Wall and Harden are just a confusing backcourt. Not to mention, Silas hasn't clue what he's doing or what his best team is.

    When reports came out that Harden was staying with the rockets this season, he meant to eat.

    The Sixers would be the one franchise where he will fit in well and that's mainly because Morey is running things over there.
