    To be honest, I think its more the mentality of Harden as a scoring SG. There were many times in tonight's game where he was heavily covered and chuck up a 3 anyway.

    Being injured is a character flaw.

    Tinman is right. Newbies like you need to be educated. You are just the same as those delusional Lakers fans who still think they are contenders. By your logic it's "disrespectful" for a Lakers fan to think any team is better than the Lakers. You think I am a Pacers fan? Keep embarrassing yourself idiot.

    I can understand if you're having a bad night but Harden isn't playing bad, he's playing stupid. You can't fix stupidity.

    2 assists is the highest from all players from our team? Hmmm...I think I should sign up for our next PG... seriously, 48 minutes and max is 2 assists?

    If we want to compete witch a great harassing defensive team that attacks the ball carriers and plays physical D, we need an elite ball carrier like Rondo.

    He probably can't until Lin gets healthy and is up to playing at least at 80 percent. If he can go, he'll go.

    Based on this game:

    Keepers: Howard, Parsons
    Toss Out: all else including the coaches...

    That's the mistake. And Kevin Love? And then, Chris Paul?...

    I mean, YES, probably Asik would have helped a lot today. But I don't think is the point after what we have seen -again-. Lin doesn't solve your bad offense, your turnovers, the offense stagnance... that is not players job, not their responsability. They need help from their coach. That is coaching responsability.

    Coaching. Definitely underrated. And coach has special responsability the better the roster it is (some people use to think the opposite...).

    Our bench shot 7/33, (.212%) Greg Smith made 3 of those shots. Casspi went 1/10 & Brooks 0/7…

    We got beat, refs didn't help, but we lick our wounds and come back.

    Because Asik does not want to be with the Rockets and Lin is injury prone. Any injury he gets tends to last longer then it does with other players on the team.

    Because they are trolls , just ignore them. We lost tonight because Lin and Asik didn't cheer hard enough on the bench. :rolleyes:

    Because they are both Asian? Lol but let face it Indiana is a better team. They took the heat to 7 game last year and they have chemistry.

    How many assist did he have....

    He was sucking bad on offense and taking stupid shots... If you ever played ball, heck even street ball you know if you have a player jacking up shots and missing it pisses you off and frustrates your teammates...

    He saw he was off, so he should have started to up his game in other ways... By creating and dishing and playing harder on defense...

    Harden is doing the same as Steve was doing holding the ball and then jacking up shots... The team has no chance to get in rhythm and eventually they will start to play the same as Harden (which they did)...

    This loss is not about bev not creating, this is about Harden growing up... Keep preaching this.. Even if Lin was out there what is he going to do, run up and take the ball from Harden... No he's going to run in the corner and then you will be pissed that Harden want pass the ball to Lin.
