Im almost positive, during that stretch we still had bad defense, so the point is moot imo. And even then, 5 games isnt enough to offset a whole season's worth of terrible defense. Sorry if im i come across like a dick haha, thats just honestly how i feel about the team right now.
I don't really judge Paul for the beginning of the season as he was injured on his shooting arm. Chris has shown he can play at the level of last year already. Gordon is streaky as he always has been. The key to the Rockets is to find someone who can give them what Ariza did. I think House can get close. Now if Harden's new found level can be sustained in the playoffs, then they can beat anyone.
I like cp3 but man he is too passive this year...way way too passive....his athleticism didnt decline imo but mentally he isnt the same....he looks unmotivated
I didn't go to CF last night after the bad loss. Slept a night and came back in the morning. Seeing all the negativity as expected, I am happy to contribute to that neg vibe.
Losing three in a row against the suck, sucks. Maybe it’s time to play defense for all four quarters. Also, have better halftime shows. It might help.
Some 40 games (& a pandemic) later… “The situation is crazy. It can’t be fixed.” Say, Happy 5-year anniversary of the Harden trade. (Jan 16)
remember, it's not how you start the season (or flail about hopelessly mid-season) . . . it's how you finish the season that matters
Its happening 2.0… for all the Tari & Amen are dogs, I feel they and the team are definitely more pushovers this season.
This team is so fundamentally unsound that we are close to having Jalen stans return to gloat, that is very bad..
