    If Daryl Morey can't execute some trades to get this thing back on track, Mike will be the first to go down.

    (It won't help though)

    Gotta get some no nonsense, tough MFers in there with our softies.

    To everyone who's still watching this disgusting-ass game...at least nobody can say we're not real fans.

    That said, I feel so gross that I need to shower, and I literally just took one at halftime.

    I have faith that the team will turn it around, somehow. But I'm a little too bummed out to even call upon that faith.

    I ****ing hate the Jazz. Not necessarily this iteration,but their entire organization and history

    Would be good if Harden could handle someone like pop. If Kawhi couldn’t I’m sure Harden would shot down like his did in 15-17

    MCW sighting and he stumble twice. ROFL. Sad time

    Does MCW have some illness like Markell FAULT where he can't shoot or dribble??

    I think we can save the season, but it starts with someone cutting that glow in the orange mass from Capella’s hair. It’s a very vivid symbol of those who think they got paid and are so good they can descecrate their hair and the team.

    the season was a wrap once Morey missed out on Jimmy Butler...role player acquisitions will not save this team

    Harden’s prime will be wasted

    You know they are on to the next one when Carter-Williams comes into the game.

    Harden no urgency...already bagged the MVP. Paul duped Morey with his huge contract and just cashing in. Will likely say after the game not to worry. Gordon is just lost. Shoots bricks...either gets blocked or loses ball when attacking the rim. Tucker can only hit corner threes. Capela is Mr. Butterfingers when the pass is not a lob. Green forgot that he can dunk on anyone and just settles for threes. The rest is just trash. D'Antoni is just arrogant and stubborn. Bzdelik should have just retired.

    what move is there to make ? the only thing we can do is overpay for some role player on a struggling team in the east. every west team other than phoenix is in the playoff race, so no way any of them help the rockets.

    It's not as black and white as you want it to be. Harden has some blame and some of it is systemic. His play style of not wanting to move his feet at all when he doesn't have the ball in his hands and is only effective when dribbling the air out of the ball and playing a YMCA level offense that NBa level defenses can adapt to and easily predict and hone in on is an issue.

    The system relies too heavily on Harden dribbling the air out of the ball. Defenses learn to hone in on it. Half the time they don't even try to set real picks. They just assume the defense is going to switch. It's just lazy very linear offense.

    Harden is also stubborn to ADD to his game. He could have a more varied offensive game that makes the offense less predictable such as developing a consistent post up game. He had the body for it. Why not add it?

    Since the Worriers have this season wrapped up this is clearly a genius move by morey to get a lottery pick and play for next year. Well done sir. Pringles on the other hand needs a copy of my high school playbook. I'm ready to see what picks we can get for ego and tucker. The team is just too old.

    Capela is running after guards and wings at least 50% of the time he's on the court, of course he gets beat sometimes, other guys are getting burned by everyone regardless by their size, let's put it this way...
