You want a "good convo" yet it seems like you would rather want a circle jerk forum where everyone strokes Harden's dick making him infallible. Criticism is part of a "convo" or a debate.
i'm not worried about his shooting because he does so many other things, if that was the only thing he contributed with, then i would be worried
Paul George returns Monday and we don't have T Jones, Dwight, K Papa and possibly no Smoove. Oh and we play NOP Wednesday where Davis and Asik will of course play. Tough, tough stretch. I don't see us winning any of them. :/
Criticism and pure hatred are 2 different things Criticism is shown on here in every game thread even if we win by 30 we go down 2-0 in a game and fans go the "doomsday" route way to often
You have a very low bar for what constitutes "pure hatred". Me stating that Harden has been on a severe slump and it is negatively affecting the team is not "pure hatred" at least to someone who isn't on their knees next to Harden.
If I could bet against my team...I'd bet you. There is not a sufficient supporting cast around Harden(including Dwight) to win consistently in the playoffs. And trust me...basketball,football....you can NOT turn it on and off whenever you want. This team has a habit of showing up "not wanting to play".
Just got home. Have not seen the game on DVR. So what happened with Josh? So harden was human and we missed TJ? Anything else happen?
just part of the process, i'm not worried about a game in March when we have bigger things to do later in the season
Also, not even Rocket fans thought we'd be 3rd seed. Some people had us out of the playoffs. It sucks to drop a game like this. I'm guessing the Rockets were on a high and the Suns are a desperate team right now. They were playing like it was game 7 out there and the Rockets got that early lead and that was probably for the worse tonight. It made them believe that this was an easy win and the Suns fought and clawed for everything. I think we win with Jones or Dwight but hopefully we will get Dwight back next game...because the Pacers will be a desperate team and will be playing hard knowing that Paul George comes back next week most likely.
Are you serious? Look at the top 5 seeds in the West and how close they are to each other. These games are VERY important.
Dwight is what we need and we won't come up against many up tempo type of teams like the Suns in the playoffs
That's what I was implying when I said the Rox have no presence down low. It was a layup drill tonight. The bigs didn't rebound worth a ****.
We are not contenders! PERIOD! We have just one great player. If Harden can't score we lose irremediably.
Reminder for all the cliff-jumpers than we are without our max contract star center. I have a feeling he might help when he comes back.
