I'm convinced Harden has a cold/flu/stomach ache/hungover/etc. because this is just too out of the ordinary. He'll bounce back. Very disappointing last 2 nights, though.
If Harden played like this for the entire game Gobert would be sitting on the bench in foul trouble and the Rockets are in a much closer game.
And Nick. But TJ, D-Mo, Brew & Bev are still fighting. Beard hasn't looked himself since he got the jewels polished.
This goes back to the trade deadline. Missed opportunity to improve the team. JSmith has regressed to the mean, as JVG predicted to Morey in the Sloan conference. Bev and Ariza show up in random games. DMo has gone back to hiding in the woods. TJ is not a 5. Who knows what kind of play we get from Howard. Harden proves he's the MVP of this team. If he doesn't show up, we lose big. So near and yet so far. 20 games left, Harden has run out of gas.
This is the part of Harden's personality that I just can't figure out. Obviously he has all world talent but you never know when he will just disappear. Weird.
Dragic as a rental worth more than Jones n Dmo combined. Both very replaceable. This team still has too many holes. First round exit.
