    It is his fault - he has 0 offensive game... once they figure out that Tate is also left handed so him and Harden don’t run into each other so much .. Tucker going to bench

    I don’t see much of an offense in general. Literally everything looks like a struggle. If we don’t play 5 out and let Harden create it looks really bad.

    Harden was absolutely embarrassing, just aimlessly wandering around & standing 35 ft away just observing the game... The whole team shot like absolute dogshit but my goodness this dude just legit packs it in at times.

    Lol no it didnt. The lead was cut when we went small and started switching everything. Woods being a really bad defender is what killed us this game. As well as Harden being trash from 3.

    Wall needs to come off the bench for a better fit.

    On to the next one. Dallas wasn't special, we just couldn't shoot. Ok, maybe Hardaway was special but as bad as we played, we had a chance.

    He had some chances to shoot the ball but instead he chose to pass it to his team mates. I like Tate more than Tucker right now.

    Because Wood is the reason they extended their lead in the 3rd and I'm the 4th. We actually made a run defensively playing small in the third without him. Should have pulled him earlier in the 4th

    Few thoughts. Didn’t like how Harden was reduced to a 3 shooter while Wall tried to create on most of the possessions. Part of it was their traps but Wall kept moving the ball away from harden and tried to take it himself or play 2 man game with wood.

    Boogie was actually playing well before getting ejected.

    Rox played their best defensive game yet. Dallas just made their shots and we didn’t.

    Rox forced a lot of shots between Nwaba, wood, and wall. Few plays harden could’ve gotten back the ball but Nwaba decided to drive into 3 mavs players.

    Still fat. But Fat is the new hot trend in the NBA. The fat guys are the one running the league now. See Harden, Luka, Jokic etc

    Harden was awful, PJ was awful, Nwaba can't shoot, Gordon is still streaky, Wood's D is poor - Boogie got screwed.....Meh......I don't think there was MUCH other than EFFORT which can't be corrected.

    Would have liked to see Ben McLemore for his 3pt shoot....

    And, I don't think you can play Nwaba and PJ at the same time.....that is 3 on 5....and they just clamped down on James.

    He doesn’t trust anything that isn’t Harden-Ball. He never ever moved off-ball with CP3 here, why would he do it now.

    he was truly awful tonight and i would pay 50$ to rewind time and have harden sit out this exact game. Just to see how much his attitude towards the game affected everyone else.

    Haha. Good one.

    I forgot not instinctively having vitriol for another team's player meant I was a fan of their team.

    Only on Clutchfans do you get that logic.
