    He was awful games 3 and 5. In games 1,2 and 4 he played well. So.....errr maybe he want as good as I thought, but I still thought overall, he did an okay job. He also didnt damage our offense schematically like Westbrook.

    More like because Stone is not Morey.

    The media hit jobs have tried to devalue Harden AND cast doubt on Rockets FO culture, management style and overall competence.

    IF Stone/Fertittas were not behind the Harden smear campaign then why dont they say something? Their silence is a sign of complicity or incompetence on a grand scale.

    As soon as Morey feels the media wave turn against him, he takes a hard stand vocally and affirmatively.

    This may be a ploy to muddy the waters or shift next move to his opponent, but at least Morey is actively playing the game.

    Chess cannot be won by refusing to make a move.

    Maybe because its true, and not a smear campaign, and your Trumpian conspiracy theory is bullshit.

    Peace and love to you as well brother!

    It would be amazing if Rockets FO just make another big roster move then let Harden take it from there.

    Your Melo idea is interesting but I'd rather add another playmaker and defensive stud, like Aaron Gordon.

    This addresses need for backup PG, small ball 5 and another running mate for Wall in transition plus another legit lob/roll threat for Harden.

    Go BIG or go home.

    First and 2nd priority is to KEEP Harden.

    You are forgetting the rest of codman's post, James is dealing with a cheap AF owner and an FO he has no trust in.

    Those factors, ALL of them, are cumulative so you cherry picking ONE factor is disingenuous.

    Not one source statement or even one fact, he bases all his opinions on his own guesses.

    All negative scenarios to put it bluntly.

    @Deuce is literally my spirit animal right now. I feel that same anxiety especially when a solution is so undeniably clear.

    LOL

    Has everything to do with your point.
    Elite defenses certainly stop/limit elite offensive players, ESPECIALLY in the playoffs. We’ve seen it happen to Harden, we saw it happen to Kobe. If ya want to deal in platitudes, mkay...

    Wake up and smell the coffee Laruso.

    Recent nba players poll:

    Which players forces opposition coaches to make the most adjustment.

    Number one was James Harden with 32 percent. Not bad for a so called predictable player. Under Silas random offense he can be even more hard to plan for with various different actions

    Pop literally called him the toughest player i have ever had to plan for . Under Silas he can be literally unstoppable if he gets some catch and shoot shots when he hands the ball off and runs to reposition him for a catch shoot shot.

    And to think we will probably end up with the Tyler Herros or the Simmons of the world for this monster smack bang in his prime . Sad
