    Force the lakers to take jumpers
    Stop over passing
    Harden has to take double the amount of shots and drives

    We were already champs defending our title lol and mad max didn't even play a game against Utah did he? Even if he did, completely different when he's a guy on the bench and theres a star in front of him.

    This team does not have the heart of a Champion.

    That team was loaded with dudes who weren't afraid to take and would make big shots. This team is full of mental midgets who disappear when it counts.

    Thread full of REAL ROCKETS fans. You love to see it.

    Hakeem ain't walking through that door.
    Harden ain't Hakeem.

    In fact, it's disrespectful to Hakeem to put them in the same sentence.

    Appreciate OP's positive vibes.

    Hakeem is goat. I know that.

    Hes better then Harden, thats obvious.

    But...

    TEAM PLAYS A HUGE ROLE

    During the playoffs

    Robert Horry shot 5 3s a gm at 40%
    Kenny Smith shot 4.7 3s a gm at 44%
    Mario Elie shot 3.0 3s a gm at 43%
    Sam Cassel shot 2.7 3s a gm at 39%

    That has A LOT to do with Hakeem and his command from the defense and double teams.

    Similarly to Harden commanding so much attention, yet hardens team can't make shots that are significantly more wide open then the 95 teams.

    Sure, we WANT Harden to just be Zeus or Hercules, but the truth is he is not at physically gifted.

    He makes the correct play 90% of the time which is finding an open teammate put of a double.

    Problem is our team ****ing sucks and always has. Harden makes them look good.

    House is no MadMax.
    Harden is no Hakeem.
    MDA is no Rudy T.

    No way we come back to win. We are playing small ball with 6 playable dudes who are playable.( with Jeff green overachieving)

    Team is gonna burn out even if we make it to the next round clippers will sweep this team.
