    Our boy Harden shot a stunning 18% from 3, which is a step up from Thurs when he shot 0%!so he’s trending in the right direction ... oh but he did have a triple double and 10 turnovers ...

    Harden played 45 minutes. Roco 38. Tucker 35. 8 man rotation.

    Losing to a lottery team and wearing out your best players. Double L.

    6-5 in games without Westbrook .

    That has more to do with Russ not being there than it is about Green getting more mintues, we were horrible on both ends today and Harden was largely the main culprit here. Harden has not been good at all. Gordon has to get minutes and get back to normal as well. Like Carrol plays defense like this every night and im willing to bet he can hit corner shots consistently. I keep telling you the Jeff Green you see tonight is not what you are gonna get every night and you know that.

    You can feel however you want to, Jeff Green is more offensively talented but his effort night in and night out wont be there.

    Team plays worse when Harden not on the floor with Russ.

    Truth hurts right?

    The Rockets are 13-4 when PJ Tucker scores over 10 points

    Their threes come from drive and kick. Our threes are most forced and contested. That's the difference. We got killed in the paint.

    I think House is more deserving of ire than Green right now.

    And Tucker is killing us too.

    Cannot have 3 of your starters being negatives on offense.

    Don't you like how Harden has complete control over the coaching staff and determines when and how long he plays? When he was out there was a great come back effort with Rivers dominating the ball and the team making shots and running well oiled .. Harden seems to enjoy driving the game into the ground...

    Yea Green played well tonight, and if he plays like this every night, I would start him. But....thats just not how it is.

    I honestly dont know whats going on. James has been so so weird this season and I dont understand what is going on with him.

    Are they? Then why is Harden always the leading scorer? Please don't use usage as your excuse, because we've had players like CP3 and Westbrook here, who have had a high usage of the ball, yet they haven't come close to matching Harden's scoring.

    I'm bringing up last season because you guys always nitpick Harden's game and performances. You never seen it when Westbrook was struggling. I supported Westbrook when he started slowly in the season..... got behind him. But people on here were so quick to turn on him and saying the trade was a bad idea. I still think it's a great trade and that it's not Westbrook fault. But the difference being is, you guys are so quick to make it Harden's fault despite the many amazing years he gave to the franchise..... despite not really having much of a supporting cast. You never congratulate him for a great performance or for his years of carrying. You would rather he was out of here so we can go back to losing but "fun" basketball.

    Harden never gets the respect from the league, the media, the casuals.... and he certainly doesn't from his own fans. Why not get behind the guy and hope he gets his shooting form back? But no, you guys would rather **** on him so it makes you feel good inside.

    All I'm saying is, when Harden gets his form back (he definitely will) and we're winning consistent games again.... and we're a contender again, please don't come back in here and say sorry. It's not welcomed. You've **** on Harden too many times.

    Did not see this game but I saw the Clippers game. Harden looks thin and it's possible that all of those minutes he's played have finally caught up with him.

    I really wonder if Russ is holding Harden accountable behind the scenes.... The last time Harden had a star teammate who tried to do that everyone labelled him the bad guy.
