    For whatever reason the Rockets have problems with the Pelicans.

    Harden’s worse game in a month and still almost dropped 40.

    The Rockets really need someone inside. When Tucker and Harden are you best post defenders, you have problems.

    We missed some wide open threes. Live and die by them.

    Holiday is the Harden stopper

    Nope. With their trash defense and rebounding they are one and done in the playoffs.

    This game , Harden is so afraid that his streak will end. In the end, he couldn't shoot. He won't be himself again until his streak end so he can play his game again and don't worry about the 30 point streak anymore.

    Amen ! They score enough but the defense is crap. Bidlydyk was brought out of retirement for this?

    I'm a Harden fan, but that turnover near the end when he was trying to draw
    a foul was unacceptable. You HAVE to get a shot off to try and win.
    Can't depend on refs to provide the shot.

    I guess my take is that a bad night is OK, but a bad night where you literally put forth no effort is another matter. He wasn't at all ready for what Holiday brought tonight.

    And I agree it's frustrating watching others too, but they're not claiming MVP before the all star break either.

    Another example of D'Antoni not recognizing the drought the offense is in. Coach needs to see the problem call a time out and set some plays. I know he loves a free offense where the players make decisions but he is the coach so coach the team.

    Awful game, awful effort.

    I'll never understand why it works this way, but we have a waterfall effect. When one guy starts bricking it just cascades and they all miss everything. Turrible.

    He had a rough night. I never said "he has been bad". If you're looking to be pedantic don't be surprised when it bites you back, bro. It's a dangerous internet.

    that 30 points streak is definitely inside Harden's head...

    Yeah really when you look down the bench it’s a lot of mediocre that’s just the truth
