    This game was close and they were trapping the absolute **** out of Harden because they knew no else couldn't initiate any offensive off the dribble. Are they going to trap and double team Harden when he has Paul to pass the ball to?

    The offense stagnates so easily when teams decide to press harden off the ball. Since he is so lazy in trying to run around screens to get free, he just stands in one place trying to shove off the defenders while his teammate lost his dribble and is trying to force it to a covered Harden. This has generated in a lot of wasted possessions and turnovers.

    Harden needs to learn to run without the ball.

    Wow...a lack of energy....every hustle ball went to them. Thought Tucker was pure crap, EGO not so great and Ryno his normal gutless wonder self.

    Not that anyone needs to be reminded, but this is post is a good indication that the user likes to breath in exhaust fumes.

    That shows the talent difference even though the rockets are more banged up

    Who cares! win the game! If rockets are trying to measure themselves against the best in the west, the best in the west wins with injuries. There are only 2 guys out.

    Well to be fair, they are both excellent defenders. They will give anyone problems.

    They had pretty much everyone on their team. We were missing Paul and Luc.

    But lately Harden has played pretty soft. Capela too. Those rebounds killed us.

    Plus Capela can’t hit his ft he only improved at the beginning now is the same old Capela. Missing both or making one.

    If Anderson doesn’t want to play he should be bench for someone else. Or idk just sit him because he looked even worse than harden. Disinterested so passive and not even trying to shot on open shots.

    People are sleeping on OKC. They've won 11 of their last 14, and Adams is getting better by the month. Unless we figure out how to get more depth and at least another big man to fill out our rotation, I'm not sure we can win a series against them. Paul George is a f***ing beast, and Roberson is really a Harden stopper of some sorts.
