    The overreaction is strong right now against Harden. I am not surprised.

    Attack the rim? Humm a guy name Harden on of the best decided not to.
    And Ariza and Bev took the right 3 pointers at the end, Ariza and Bev at worst at attacking the rim so taking open 3 pointers is still their best shoots.

    Ha...sorry it took me a minute to quit laughing. Let me make this simple....TJ is a much better player. DMO is not a center or power forward. I think he is GONE after this year. Good riddance. His 10 pts., 4 rebounds and O FT were invaluable to the team tonight. Incredible.

    Aldridge had 14 rebounds, Batum 9 rebounds....they aren't centers. TJ as stated had 12 rebounds and Ariza had 6. Even Bev had 4 I believe. Dmo never met a rebound he liked that didn't come straight to him.

    What about defending Aldridge all night, and got him only ont FT a BS one and 5 fouls.

    Who was defending robing lopez 16pt?

    Dmo still the more efficient in the NBA scoring in the Post. Simple.

    Dmo -1 Aldridge -1

    Lets say Dmo got 10 Rbd wich is hight for 29 mins, we still getting out rebound.

    Now missing 4 Ft is just awful.

    I don't like he take it for granted.

    Just an off nights possibly make you lose MVP and scoring title, especially with 18 games left.

    Good Guy Corey for picking up the slack if not the win.

    Brewer dialed in is a spindly miracle to behold. He ran out of steam on that last play when he didn't get as much lift to sink the shot.

    The whole game had a playoff feel to it and it might as well be a playoff game. The standings are shifting and every one counts here on. Are they going to stick with the layups or 3s strategy when the other team's closing in with only a few minutes to go?

    Just my NBA2K opinion, but it seems like they shouldn't completely avoid mid-range options or going straight to the bucket in those types of situations.

    Tell you what....I hate to say it but DMO "defended" LMA ...you mean by falling down ? OK. And "Robbing "Lopez is accurate..he did what he wanted. I saw one sequence where DMO missed TWO rebounds and then gave up a point blank put back. And DMO and Aldridge each have 1 ? Really.

    OK ...maybe we should trade Dwight or someone else...you know with DMO being so efficient in the paint ...post scoring. Hakeem DMO...sriking fear in the entire NBA. LOL.

    I'm not NEAR as smart as you but wouldn't 6 more rebounds mean 6 more opportunities to score ?

    I don't know what Morey's plan is in the offseason, nor do I know the situation with 'Marcus's contract, but he should forget about Kevin Durant. Pursue LaMarcus Aldridge at all costs. He is a phenomenal basketball player. Use the MLE to resign Brewer and offload kpap, I will be surprised if smith stays for a pay cut. Beverley's current play is a major concern, I would let him walk at the end of the season if he doesn't pick it up. Sign Mo Williams and retain Prigs as the backup pg. That is a team you can go to war with and can win a championship. DMo and Jones have been great this year, but out of those two, jones is the one I would keep (would likely have to trade one of them to get aldridge).

    - Mo Williams
    - James Harden
    - Trevor Ariza
    - LaMarcus Aldridge
    - Dwight Howard

    I rather have Harden scoring 8 points in a Rockets win, than Harden scoring 40 in a loss.

    Harden's score isn't a problem, but his defense is still suck.
    If he cann't play defense, the team cann't pass first round

    This one game proves:

    Harden will be shut down in the playoffs
    McHale is incapable of winning a playoff series
    Morey is in over his head
    Les should be forced to sell
