    LOL this is a joke. Lin has the ball. Delfino did not want to move, Harden did not want to move, Smith did not want to move. Lin 1-on-1. Good job.

    How silly were we to think this team could 1. run all season and 2. make the playoffs. how disheartening.

    any man guarded by harden has a free lane to the basket. =/
    it sticks out when his shots are not falling.

    Lin and Harden need to develop a mid range game. Can't drive to the rim everytime with Indiana's size and athleticsm.

    Ha exactly.

    Rockets offense: three or nothing. Live and die by the three.

    You're acting like this is Street Fighter. What are these "moves" you're talking about? Its not about having moves to be a superstar. That Harden euro-step is something that he uses to get by defenders when he drives to the basket. What else are you asking him to do? Do a crazy ankle breaker all the damn time?

    Plus, the officials never saved his ass. Harden gets foul because he was foul. A foul is a foul, nothing special about it. Harden drives to the basket and maneuvers the ball around so defenders can't strip him, but instead, they hit his arm which is a foul.

    Lately, the officials have been ignoring Harden when he's driving to the basket and getting hacked.. Its tough for any player in the NBA when they constantly get foul and the officials just ignores them. Back in 2005, Allen Iverson was in a shooting slump for weeks because all officials wanted to prove a point to AI and didn't give him a single call throughout that entire period.

    Its not about how many moves you got. Its about what system the coaches are running and what types of plays is used for Harden, which isn't that many. While other stars in the league have sets of plays like running off screens etc...

    Plus, its really difficult for Harden when he's double team and Patrick Patterson is wide open and he either air ball an open shot or pass up an open shot twice in a role. When Harden is double team, the only player that is usually open is Patterson and he has been useless....
