Bulls are taking Harden completely out of the game. Impressive. The offensive foul on Parsons was a terrible call. A shooter shouldn't get called for an elbow because he is shooting if the defender is moving as well.
Harden needs to step up. All he has been doing is standing at the three point line. He needs to impose his will and get to the basket. No Butler or Dunleavy! They are putting a rookie on him. Parsons as well. Why are we shooting weak stuff near the basket. Attack it. No more floaters. Please.
The whole team is just an embarassment today. No one showed up to play; they just want to chuck three-pointers, and missing these, they do nothing else.
Lol you guys gotta relax. They've played a grueling stretch of games the last week and I am positive Parsons is playing hurt. That first half was very uninspired. But look for the team to bounce back in the second half.
I wrote that before Lin came back in, but like I said, when the team starts gaining points, Lin gets pulled and when the team starts losing, he comes back in. So he actually came back in cause the Rockets were falling behind.
Parsons 1/7. TJ 1/6. Harden 1/5. Beverley 1/5. Lin 4/8, 13 PTS in 12 minutes. Just like McHale said, our first unit was not ready to play tonight. Sleepwalking most of the time. Wait up
That's another thing that's been bugging me lately. Harden is way too passive early in games. I'm fine with getting teammates involved, but he's a 25 PPG scorer. He needs to look for his own offense as well.
