    Harden needs to switch off the "I need to play like this" mode. Rockets don't need him to play like that anymore. At least not today. The Rockets players need to collude to end the streak.. It's time to freeze out Harden.

    Harden could have had his 30 playing normally..

    When the Hawks have to rest their starters...
    • Atlanta Fans: "Our bench sucks. We play absolutely no defense, and can't score."
    • Rockets Fans: "See how much better we play when Harden sits."
    :D

    It's frustrating because he says he doesn't want to play that way. But he clearly enjoys it

    That Trae Young is pretty impressive.
    Should have a good career ahead of him

    He needs to focus on effiency over volume.

    The rockets would rather have an efficient 25 than an inefficient 30.

    Rockets may win if we could knock down one three-pointer

    It's a movement problem. The others on the floor with Harden aren't convinced they're gonna see the ball, so why put forth the effort?

    When Harden sits and Paul is in, the others know they will probably be rewarded for their movement. Thus the free flowing system when Paul dominates the ball versus Harden.

    The Hawks just screwed up a 4 on 1 fast break. Wow.

    One of the few times I’m scared to see Jimmy check in

    Just seems like another one of those games where a loss seems imminent no matter what we do

    So far with Paul running it in this quarter we’re getting killed
