Sources: our locker room is having issues. Some are obvious and some are a bit unspoken

If true what a bad timing. Thats what the regular season is for, to work out all the kinks. Someone is not buying into the team concept, I wonder who?

 

made me laugh!

 

LOL I like your style. I too wanna know what's up if there is anything at all.

 

Yeah I'm not sure why you guys are hating on IBTL. If someone is making vague claims of insider info they should either clarify or not say anything at all. Because really, nothing relevant is being discussed and a lot of seemingly baseless nonsense is being spewed from multiple posters.

 

Everything is ok(not sources). We just want sth to complain about all the time.

 

pretty sure being down 3-1 was a major reason why there would be tension.

 

if the glares that harden and howard give each other as well as on-court screaming aren't enough to indicate tension in the lockerroom, I don't know what is.

 

I think Howard called out Harden privately. And Harden is adjusting. I don't think they actually have tension, but I think Hardens ego got checked by Howard. Now the next guy is Parsons who needs it checked. But if he keeps playing well it's not going to be noticed as much.

 

Howard - You need to step up your defense!

Harden - We need to run the offense through me!

Howard - We need to win!

Harden - I need the ball!

Howard - Then steal the ball!

Harden - **** you!

 

Why would they do that? Being vague gives you wiggle room to avoid ever being proven wrong and you still get the boards attention.

Every single message board for a sports team in the history of message boards for sports teams have had "insiders" with vague information that never leads anywhere but yet is never quite proven wrong either.

 

I am sure its just tenison after losing a play off games they are so close to winning, anyone would be pissed. Harden is just having a really bad series and i am sure his body language is garbage right now.

Also, durning the regular season when Howard or the rest of the team post photos of their trips or things they do has ANYONE seen a pic with Harden in it? So i wouldnt look to much into this.

 

glares? I have noticed Howard setting picks and Harden not wanting to take them because he wants ISO every damn time.

 

The locker room is fine. Don't worry.

This is just noise.

 

I wonder how our locker room issues compare to what is going on in Indy or OKC?

 

C'mon, you don't know who the Codman is?

We'll see how old everyone is if they know who the person is in this picture lol

 

Harden dished 7 assists and got 17 points from 15 shots. Most of that pain came from shooting 3's where he was 1-7. I don't think Harden played badly.

What should be talked about if we were optimists and not pessimists is keeping LeMarcus Aldridge to 8 points. Did you hear about that? I haven't seen it mentioned once.

 

No kidding. If things aren't tense in a lockerroom down 1-3 in the playoffs, something isn't right.

 

I don't know what's going on in the Rockets locker room. There might be some rough spots with people being called out for their mistakes and not liking it.

But those things aren't necessarily serious and hopefully everyone can get over it and focus on winning.

Harden played some good D in game 5 and hit some clutch baskets. Maybe that will put him on the right path for the rest of the playoffs.

I think part of his problem is how much pressure he put on himself and trying to do too much on the offensive end to correct his poor results. It's easier said than done but if Harden could just focus on defense right now, and let the offensive flow come back to him during the game, I think he'd be alright.

Whatever the Rockets issues are in the locker room (if there really are issues), I think it would be better for the Rockets to solve them in the locker room and nothing of what's going on there to leak out onto the internet.

Internet fueled rumors won't help fix anything.

 

Probably Harden's fault.

Chandler mentioned James' iso-ness a few months back. It's frustrating being open and not getting the ball because someone jacked up a tough shot (although he can make difficult shots). Add James' usual defensive effort and it could definitely stifle a locker room.

Harden needs to mature.

 

The problem with discussing stuff on the internet right here. Chandler never mentioned Harden's isoness in a negative manner.

Chandler said something about sharing the ball and having many guys who could contribute, and people jumped on it claiming he was mad at Harden's isos. Then it was shown with additional footage that Chandler was in no way upset about Harden's play. But so many people already had it in their mind that something that never happened actually did.
