There was a stretch were the bench was dominating led by Capela and Beasley and JB just took them out like he hated winning. He took them all out at the same time, lol. It was a sight to behold, like they had did something wrong and I think that perfectly sums up a major problem with this team.

You examine every Harden era post season for the Rockets and it's always other players that truly helped the team advance. Last season it was Howard's play to get past the Mavs then it was Smith and Brewer while Harden crapped out on the bench to advance past the Clippers. Harden and Howard in fast break fail to lose game 2 to the Warriors. In game 5 Harden commits a historical 13 turnovers on a **** level effort to end the post season. Harden is flashes of good games but when it really counts he's a bum, actually turd, actually worst than turd. Go back and look at the bigger picture.
Harden averaged 27/6/7 on 62 TS% with the highest PER, Win Shares, Plus Minus.. etc., virtually leading the Rockets in every category. Dwight averaged 16/14 on 55 TS% which is not bad, but 2014-2015 playoff Harden was arguably one of the top 3 players (with Curry and Lebron), so enough with this "not showing up" non-sense. And we are talking about how Dwight is negatively impacting this team current season with his ugly offensive and increasingly regressing defensive game. BTW, what good is a $20 mil player if he somehow decides to coast the entire season and only give some semblance of effort in the playoffs? That's called a part-time job and we should pay him accordingly. Do you think it's coincidence that we had one of the best season records in recent Rockets history last year when Dwight was out majority of the season due to injury? Even this year, we are 6-0 perfect when Dwight was out. Yeah, really valuable piece for sure.
Dude, we were 2nd seed in the West with Harden leading the league in points and winshares. Dwight only played like 40 games last year. Dumb post. Eating crack and trying to form a coherent thought isn't working well for you tonight is it?
He just tried to change the subject seeing that Dwight was being bashed instead of Harden. Typical DOF behavior.
BINGO! You can copy/paste this post over and over again for the rest of this year when folks debate you and it won't bother me one bit...it would never get old. Nailed it!
Dwight apologists use the same flawed arguments every time, they don't even deserve original response. Just fact bomb them to death, and they will go away
I'm not arguing for Howard or Harden, just want both gone next season. Be prepared for another embarrassing Harden performance to end the post season if the Rockets make it. That is all. He truly isn't a 1st option on a championship team and will never be. You have to have learned this by now. I'm sure DD would agree with me on this.
I know. There are so many Currys, Lebrons, Durants in this league. Why don't we just replace Harden with one of them?
