hopefully the teams learns from this. you have GOT to play hard every night. can't just walk around all arrogant and cocky because you beat the spurs. hopefully this will humble them
Man, no doubt, Parsons is soooo danged good and crucial to this team, it was obvious they were coasting hoping to pull it out late. Just lazy - this is a game where I wish McHale had some stones and would yank guys for not playing hard. DD
It's alright though. There are many here that take comfort that Harden is "on another level" compared to Paul George.
Eh, we had only one real offensive threat on the court, that being Harden. Lin and Parsons being out really hurt. Bev needs to improve his offense, only 8 pts in 38 mins
2 starters out and 3rd youngest team. beat the best team and lose to one of the worst, that's maturity. need to find it fast. team is lacking a bull dog leader especially on the defensive end.
Response Frankly, Harden is a superstar on O and a scrub on D. He is what he is. Dwight is almost opposite to Harden, except I would rate Dwight's offense slightly better than Harden's D.
I just don't get how we never scored more than 30 points on any quarter when Harden had 37 points tonight. We had been scoring more than 30 points at least every 2 quarter per game for the last several games. Tonight we blew on both sides of the court.
That was a miscommunication play and both players deserve blame for that. Casspi for not paying attention when he is right next to Harden and Harden for not realizing Casspi was right next him. But you are insane if you really think Harden isn't good on offense. The Rockets did not grab rebounds, which was a team fault that cost the tie. Aaron Brooks didn't pass the ball to Harden even though he has been on fire the whole game, and could not convert anything near the end.
Casspi was in to get a couple more shots. He should have attempted 3 more 3s in the second half and he didn't. T Jones was cold. Harden is probably giving Omri Tyreke Evans deja vu with all the dribbling no passing. I like Harden way more and he is on a different level, but he should a couple corner 3s for Omri could have made a difference.
