    i don't think much of harden. he sucks defensively, and his isos suck. but he's been pretty clutch this season.

    Man, I just give credit to Howard for not complaining over the fact that he only had 1 FGA in the entire second half, after dominating in the second quarter.

    Must be frustrating.

    It's our incompetent coach who can't run a proper play for an easy basket

    Second in the league in 4th quarter scoring. Still not clutch.

    New threads are awful after a loss. Stop the knee jerk guys. We are who we are.

    I don't get Harden.
    Why does he keep going ISO against sub .500 team?

    Effin McHale. Tell your players to feed Dwight!

    He's your only post option and you were a post player back in the day yo!

    One sequence where Howard was under the hoop jumping up and down and no one notices. I mean the guy has 1 shot in the second half. Spread the wealth, instead of keeping your stat line pretty. Yuck

    James "Haren" (ahahahaha there's no D get it) had 38 points and 10 rebounds. You can sit here ripping him over one possession or you can realize that we shouldn't be within 5 points of the Sacramento Kings at any point other than when we're up 5-0 to start the game. This is a team whose starters have been run into the ground by a combination of poor coaching, lack of bench depth and injuries.

    I am sorry, but Harden basically gave away everything he did up to that point in about 3 consecutive plays.

    What good is his individual stats if he lets down his team like that?

    Why anyone want Howard have the ball in the clutch? The guy is a turnover machine.

    This. A player does not have to take ALL the shots int he 4th. Ball has to move. holy that was a terrible sequence of failure
