    Yeah did you forget his defense? That's half of the game bro, Rivers running circles around him.

    I remember him elevating his game, then it disappearing in key fourth quarters because he was tired. He wouldn't help either.

    WTF! This game was stupid. No coaching, no defense, and no body could make a stupid shot. I hate the Clippers, their fans, and their stupid new owner.

    But Harden has sucked for the entire series save for the final 14 minutes of Game 2. And to add insult to injury, he's getting shut down by the likes of JJ Redick and Austin Rivers while those guys are shooting lights out. Redick and Rivers have got 26 and 25 points tonight for chrissakes!

    I agree the entire team is at fault for playing like crap, but Harden has to be the leader out there. And if he's stinking up the joint, odds are the rest of the players aren't gonna do much better.

    I feel sick to my stomach.

    Its not our time, we all knew that... you can't have 2 injured starters and expect to win it all. Even with DMO and Bev that would've been a tall order.

    but this... we do STUPID things, we make STUPID TOs, we make STUPID fouls, and we take STUPID shots. I mean... how were we a #2 seed for crying out loud? We don't adjust correctly, we don't EVER come out hot it seems, rarely can we ever ever EVER keep a f$%&^@^ing lead, and I'm just tired of believing in a lost cause. I mean... Ariza is offensively useless 70% of the time, Josh Smith is one of the biggest boneheads I've ever seen play, our PGs are older than god and our coach is a numbskull.

    We deserve better.

    People who are going crazy, turning off the game, NOT believing in this team are still loving, adoring fans.

    We're just not blind. There's nothing wrong with that. You can still root for your team without believing they'll actually do something remarkable.

    We came into the playoffs with a flat tire (missing Bev/Dmo) and we won the first race...

    The car we're racing this round just has all its tires, and as won other races. It is what it is.

    I just wish it wasn't so painful to watch us get crushed.

    The biggest losers in this game for me was Josh Smith and Mchale.

    We were within 3 and Smith missed a wide open Harden for 3...missed a bunny, didn't even TRY to get a rebound, and was no where in the paint when dwight sat out.

    McHale for not taking Smith out and not fouling Deandre when it was clear the Clippers were running away with it.

    Harden didn't quit or whatever nonsense this is. He was aggressive and didn't get calls early. Rivers DID get by him easily but he had 0 help out there. McHale should have put in Capela or started to foul Deandre.

    I'm well aware of this but Harden just refused to shoot and let Rovers just abuse him. He played zero defense

    should we still be upset Redick is being left unguarded? Or no since it's over anyway?

    I wonder if Minny would trade Wiggins for Harden?
