    I guess it was really over when we made that Westbrook trade.

    The effort and urgency is not there and that is what is unacceptable, along with D’antoni making no adjustment.

    Westbrook is terrible. Harden back to his passive self. System is a joke. Time for football.

    Honestly, I just want my team back, I would prefer not rooting this late in the year, but feeling proud to root every single night.

    It sucks to lose the last few games of the year like this year after year. Quitting sucks and we keep doing it over and over again

    Shut up with the stupid bench talk. Kenny is a joke.

    If we lose, it'll be a good time to trade Harden for some assets to rebuild.

    The double team is causing problems for the rockets. Usually rockets counter with a pass to the middle in the free throw area, where they can play 4 v 3.

    However, with no good finishers at the rim (and westbrook playing like ****), lakers can put lebron or ad in the backline as a free safety. Thats why we dont have 3 point attemps, and we aren't getting easy layups either.

    Easy because they double and they get him off his game.

    Easy to double when you walk the ball up the court and hardly ever play off-ball.

    Doubling is to Harden what Fronting was to Yao.

    What, he played great last playoffs and has been a net positive all this playoffs, stats disagree with you heavily. So does the eye test, he's our best defender.

    Isn't there an NBA rule we have to give up a first round pick in any trade? Seems like it.

    27-13 rebounds, 12-0 fastbreak points

    Those are effort stats. We look shell-shocked and ready to die.

    Its not the score, its the body language. Zero fight except for PJ and occasionally Green who has been left put to dry guarding Lebron 1 on 1 with lazy help.

    I don’t know if it was over for the rockets when we made that trade. But it was definitely the nail in the coffin for moreyball
