Where am I worshiping Harden? Seriously you crazy person. I am trying to tell you fools that the flaws with the team are team flaws. I've critised Harden as much as any player on the team. You're telling me this is a rocket forum, when I am telling you to look at the team as a collective rather than finding one player as a scapegoat. The Basketball IQ of this message board is as bad as the Eastern Conference. If you think the issue with this team is one player, you are misguided and should cease posting your opinions.
Yea we missed the playoffs but we still moved the ball and ran some plays (even though we had a different coach)
Good call by Hornacek to put Tucker on Harden, who’s been relegated to throwing up contested 3s on half his shots. On the other side, Bev had to be put on Bledsoe (I can’t imagine Harden guarding him), and Harden on Dragic. But even this isn’t working, since Bev doesn’t have the same firepower to provide some counter scoring. The Suns starting guards (8/14) are killing the Rox’s starting guards (2/13). 5 assts for the Rox the whole 1st half. Tucker, Bledsoe, and Dragic have been doing great for the Suns. Let’s see what McHale does to motivate the team, and what changes he makes for the 2nd half.
Reminds me of the Lakers game. Although at least Dwight is making his free throws and we're down less at the half. The good news is they can't play any worse in the second half.
When you have Lin in the game teams can't aggressively defend Harden because Lin can score well. Right now there is just too much pressure on Harden, they are aggressively defending the paint and asking him to shoot the ball.
We have no offense scheme, it´s really not Hardens fault, we simply need some go to plays. We only run isos and throw the ball causally around...
Sorry I don't assume that the team with one of the best records in the league, while missing 3 of it's best players, is instantly doomed. Anybody who does is an utter fool.
What a mess. The consecutive possessions that lead to turnovers & points off them put me in complete disbelief. Can't wait for a trade.
