I disagree, Harden ISO stops ball movement. The other players are in watch mode and loose the intensity. Watch 1st half when harden tries to take-over. Painful. Painful to watch. Ever wonder why we loose 8 games in the recent stretch? Players loose energy coz of harden dribble, dribble.. others watch.watch. Yeah, am I right or not wrong? Not selfish player? he ask the ball at half court. he wants to have the ball and run a play. yes, he pass... after dribbling 10sec.

From http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets-rediscover-mojo-big-easy “We moved the ball,” said Chandler Parsons, who finished with 10 points and three blocks. “We didn’t play selfish. Our defense was great, too. Our help-side was awesome and that allowed us to get out on the break and do what we do best. I think going forward, we have to continue to play with that kind of effort and focus all on the defensive end.” What Parsons was indicating was that the Rockets weren't moving the ball and was playing selfish in the recent losing stretch. Pretty obvious. Was he concurring with 2Pat??? I'll leave it for you guys to judge.
I would have bolded the part about defense and getting on the break. It is about defense, Lin playing fast inn transition, and ball movement.
PPAT shutting up the haters for a day Maybe showing some leadership and that he wants to stick around
Key parts also Jeff. My bad. What I bolded I felt related to this thread (what 2Pat spoke out about).
he shouldn've said these regardless. calling out harden to the public? Didnt they just have a teem meeting days ago? Anyways, good to see 2pat having a strong game
Nah, the truth needs to be spoken. "Even if your voice shakes" as was famously said. Especially since very few are saying it, except some courageous souls. And the board agrees (100% from what I see) -- that PPat beasted, so it's time for him to talk and some here to not.
Pat wasn't settling for threes. Pat set some real screens along with Morris. Asik was posting up, which give us another look. Bill and Matt, plz STFU! I hate when you nag about him posting up. I have a feeling somebody has been reading clutch fans.
p2 speaks up and look what happens. you could tell in the first quarter they were more patient on the offensive end. once they settled down and took control of the game, the rest of the game came to them.
Well, tied his career high but your point is well-taken. Let's see if he can play at this level consistently.
Im glad doupletappat stood up and actually went to work. That the ppatt we were expecting from the get go.
