    Doesn’t matter what stats harden gets, agree with it or not, I don’t think he will get MVP if we lose a couple more games like this on national TV. He will be an afterthought..before u talk about injuries lakers are missing Lebron, yeah we are missing more players, but we are at home, losing by 20, it isn’t even close, getting out everythinged. This same lakers team last season without Lebron was a joke. Having harden should be enough to keep a game close at home against a crap team, but they just don’t have it, they suck really bad right now. This is what I meant when I said roller coaster season

    I have so much respect for Harden. The ability to put up with this bullshit presented to him on a poo poo platter is amazing.

    "James Harden leading the huddle on the bench during this recent timeout. Talking to his teammates as Coach D'Antoni walks over."

    Again what is MDA's job now? Seems Harden is our Bron

    I know we are playing poorly. And no jinx, but it still feels like this game is very much in reach. It may be the martini's, and no jinx dreamshook, but I still have faith.

    I would still expect us to beat the Lakers without Lebron. This is a Lakers team that was expected to barely make the playoffs WITH Lebron. If we're so called contenders, we should be able to dismantle the Lakers without Lebron while being down two starters.

    Lol at House... dude was a G league pickup. The fact that you're bringing him up as a starter showcases just how bad of a situation we are in.

    bringing chris paul here was the worst idea ever, he played less than 60 games last year. And that contract may actually force tillman to trade harden if we dont improve for assests

    How many wide open threes did we miss in the first half?

    Not making shots and no interior defense.


    But let cut things to single digit by the end of 3rd. We have a chance.

    Pretty much this.

    If we even hit half of all the wide open 3s we took, we'd actually have the lead

    James Harden needs to score 50 in order for this team to have a chance to win, sadly.
