Needed Bmac in that second unit. He'll open up lanes for wall and gordon. Again, the second unit with boogie will destroy any other bench squad in the league. The wall-harden tandem still a work in progress. Im pleased james is giving it a chance. Assists are as meaningful as bucketsx and if we are rolling the way we did tonight, should keep james happy (hopefully).
Today was the first time since Jan 3, 2015 that James Harden didn't attempt a free throw in a regular season game
Wow, thats crazy..talk about pulling in his game... I hope this gives him more energy towards the playoffs where he used to get tired at times
straight from Coach Cliff's mouth last night: so yeah, they were depleted, but the Rockets took advantage of that and won a game they should have won
Right. I was about to say this. It's never easy to win a game. They could have came out and lost easily. They played the right way last night and executed.
I think, with James, it's a mixture of playing hurt (out of shape too) and giving this team time to gel/figure out what we have. (need 3/4's) Everyone knows a healthy Beard can not only take over a game, but pull a team over a season. I'm assuming he's "flexible" as far as leaving, not necessarily biding his time. Hey, it's supposed to be "uncomfortable" right now. Loved what I saw against the depleted Magic. Nice flow on both ends. Whatever happens with James, the Silas effect is gonna be a thing for a long time. The word culture might be overused, but in this case it's an apt one. Silas will instill it, no matter the personnel turnover. I have a lot of faith in him and Stone over the long haul
Most Clutch PTS so far this season: James Harden: 28 (8-13 FG) Nikola Jokic: 26 (9-16 FG) Damian Lillard: 22 (7-13 FG) Jayson Tatum: 22 (7-17 FG) Luka Doncic: 20 (7-10 FG)
I don't care how many points anyone has, or a meaningless MVP chase.....all that matters is wins and losses, and right now we are an underwhelming 3-4 - if Harden is going to play the point, so be it, if wall is...so be it....don't care.....JUST FRICKEN WIN! DD
