    That’s the thing. BOTH can be true. Silas isn’t maximizing Harden offensively, but Harden’s effort, primarily on defense, has been god awful.

    So now you are trying to justify NOT trading Eric Gordon for Aaron Gordon??!!!???

    You are a complete moron.

    And for Fvks sake, the quote feature is not that hard to use.

    You think that blue print is new? They had the same blue print for years! Silas has made harden a decoy player now and that’s the difference.

    Clutch is right you need to coach to your talent and not force a square into a triangle. This I fear will take Silas way to long to figure out and he eventually will have to change. Maybe that's Harden's plan if youre playing devils advocate, but you dont want to hamper your talent which seems to be what Silas is doing.

    That's your plan to keep Harden, right? How am I the moron when you are the one that came up with that moronic trade idea?

    Silas rather have 3 guys scoring 20 points than 1 guy scoring 50.

    The problem is that those 2 other guys are nowhere near as reliable.

    If Harden cuts and moves, who's gonna get him the ball? Nwaba, Tucker? none of these guys are playmakers with passing skills.

    Ya'll want more turnovers?

    Even when he doesn’t have fouls, he still lets his opponent score on him.

    Hardens defense hasn’t been stellar overall for years. What Silas is doing is not only minimising Harden, it’s hurting the teams chances.

    So because I call out Harden’s defensive effort I have multiple accounts? Dude idk about you, but I’m a diehard Rockets fan, NOT a Harden-only fan. If he’s screwing up, I’m gonna tell it how it is. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism.

    Patience is a virtue.
    I'll give Silas' scheme and Harden at most five games to see if it is still workable.

    Harden was stellar on D last season under MDA.

    He was good in 2018 as well.
