    It just doesn’t matter to him (his % in garbage time)... it also could be he is working on his shot.

    I know seeing an 50% looks better but as far as his actual ability is concerned it is irrelevant... eventually stats will reflect that as well.

    4 out of the past 5 games he has shot over 40 percent..but hey who cares as long as they get the win

    this is why sometimes percentages are over rated when you still put up shots and your team is up double digits

    It would be nice if we could keep his focus on protecting the paint instead of the 3 point line. He has skills.

    He was 6 for 11. Then he couldn't resist throwing up 5 more bricks. You like that? Great, I don't.

    PJ with a huge game after Clutchfans.com told him to retire and other posters suggested Tilman send the mob to take him out

    Let's get some positives vibes in this thread.

    Glad that we can at least still handle G-league teams.

    Meanwhile the Blazers who get a pass by the media every post-season has been stinking up the joint.

    I'm a huge Harden fan. But you're just over the top. He's not perfect.

    The positives this season have been:

    The development of House into a possible solid starter and rotational piece. He needs to do it longer to convince me but he has overall exceeded expectations. He won’t be a shut down defender but his defense is good enough to stay on the court, he really shoots well from the outside and has shown the ability to create a little.

    Russell Westbrook has made some minor changes to his game and has shown how explosive he can help the Rockets be. He still has issues but overall has made me more optimistic it can work really well with some time and personnel changes.

    James Harden and the Rockets willingness to run and push the tempo. It isn’t easy to constantly push the pace and it isn’t easy to ask or get your franchise player to do it. So far it has happened.

    If he was shooting his career averages going into the game I wouldn't be complaining. But he's not, he's shooting 25 percent.

    The one thing I've noticed is that today the good guys definitely gave more effort on D. There's still quite a few miscommunications happening, but if we can guarantee effort, once the team gets more familiar with the scheme things will be much, much better.

    Clint looked like Clint in the 4th quarter. Still wish he'd dunk more instead of shooting those little hooks, but I must admit he's pretty good at them.

    Harden and Russ looked good, and I like how brodie isn't taking too many crazy pullups. He's pushing the tempo and finding open shooters, which is all I can ask for, really.

    Ego showed signs of waking up against the Grizzlies. If he can wake from his slumber, the offense at least will be looking destructive.

    (also if House and Tucker can maintain their percentages, once everyone else finds the range I'll be writhing about in ecstasy whenever we create an open shot)

    It sickens my stomach that in a game like this Toni would play the old man Tucker more minutes than his age and not giving someone like Gary Clark a run.
