    Harden = Francis

    The problem is that we aren't playing with 2001 rules - that iso crap doesn't work anymore with today's defenses.

    I think we're seeing why OKC gave up Harden - it's not because he doesn't have superstar talent, but it's because he has D-League Basketball IQ. His inability to pass accurately (there's a reason Asik can't catch Harden's passes but can catch passes from either Lin or Parsons), his inability to run a fast break properly, his inability to manage the clock on last-minute possessions, and his total inability to understand that his Euro-step won't get late-game calls are all evidence of someone with lots of talent but no brain.

    Lin's D on Blake hasn't helped, but this loss is on Harden and (in the macro sense) McHale's inability to create some plays for this team beyond the Harden iso.

    I should be excited about going into the playoffs, but I think the league has figured out the Rockets (and Harden) and I expect to see an easy sweep by OKC.
