    LOL

    My posting history is there for all to see, not always 100% accurate but I'll stand by my record and I know I present support for all my stances.

    Unlike some dumbass who only repeats disinformation without a shred of data.

    Silas is not the problem...
    James is not the problem...

    james has had it his way for damn near a decade now and it hasn’t worked...
    Not the problem..

    Try looking at Nwaba non shooting ass..
    Try looking at Wood on the boards..
    Try looking at all the wide open missed shots..
    Boogie getting ejected (again)
    Eric the no show Gordon..

    It is a team sport...
    Dust yourself off and revenge on Tuesday.

    Just 1 game in January..
    So much season left ..(I hope due to COVID)

    **** it... I'm all for ISo ball with Harden while he's here... At least we beat average or below average teams handily and looked like We posed a threat.....We need to start this new offense the next season with a hopefully proper off-season... Run it back? :D

    I fully expected this loss. As I said before the season started this is the best team Harden has ever had but Lakers are one of the most talented teams ever assembled, on par with Kd GSW.

    This is also why I wanted Harden traded before season started, now all the prospects are drying up and Harden might b**** again at season's end.

    A team with 2 superstar players is always going to beat a team with no superstar caliber players.

    I have to give credit to Caruso and THT. They played great tonight. Good thing the rockets play the lakers again. Now we get to see if they can bounce back or not.

    Wall is usually in the corner or on the wing at the three point line if he’s off ball presenting himself as an option.

    Harden is often not even in the frame or just walking past half court while his team is trying to score whe he doesn’t have the rock.


    Look at the highlights and you can see the difference:





    hint: when you only see 4 Rockets operating on offense it’s because their superstar is out of the frame and doesn’t care to even be an outlet. For a pass.

    Yeah, I'm a little surprised that he was singled out when entire team was cheeks on defense.

    Honestly. . . . They seemed to just pack the paint.
    They played alot of illegal defense in my viewing but was never called on it.
    Gasol guarded no one often . .. with someone cheating on the back side to stop the lob

    It's called over exaggerating your spacing so opponent does not crowd paint.

    Additionally, Harden has more defensive gravity than any other player in NBA.

    I'm sure you saw the early and late double teams on Harden during the game.

    Wall gave the ball to Harden . . .and basically stopped moving.

    Maybe this is the Offense.

    Name you TOP 5 BOXING OUT Shooting guards
    NO ONE was running back on Defense - That is your SHOOTING GUARD's primary responsibility?

    The Rockets have the right coach and players to make a great run at it this season...

    I think they wanted this game way too much and put unnecessary pressure on themselves...

    It happens when you want it bad...
    The Lakers are champions now..
    Cool,calm, and mature...

    The Rockets will learn from this game and be better...

    New coach
    New team
    Growing pains my friends

    Nothing I ever said has EVER been disinformation on this site. I only stat facts. Not narratives like you and the HardenOnlyFans. All you do is repost other people's Tweets here or suck Harden's ass cheeks by arguing with anyone here that makes a critical comment on James. But do you bro...:)

    Probably because James doesn’t hustle.

    Who else on the team constantly shows a lack of effort and hustle defensively?

    And James is the best player on the team and you wonder why he’s under a microscope? Your best player usually sets the tone for the team.

    I know dang well you’ve heard “if your best player hustles like that then that sends a message to everyone else they better hustle just as hard”


    Deputy dog has to go.
