Most of those shots were guarded and forced threes so I'm not sure what you are saying.. If he was open and in-rythm, I wouldn't be as upset....
His game tonight was the same iso-hero Harden as last season and during the previous 2 years in the playoffs. No defense, just iso, and forcing...
Not if he starts playing hero turnover machine ball like the Portland game and last season...
Harden just isn't good during playoff pressure games. He's never proven to be a clutch player in pressure games. Sigh..same old choking beard....
Harden hasn't proven to be a clutch player in high pressure playoff like games. He still plays hero ball and ends up making dumb turnovers......
I haven't seen Harden force this much bad shots since last season. He needs to stop trying to draw fouls in drives and forcing threes with good...
Yup we should've won and beaten these eastern teams as we did in the past seasons.
Don't forget the Heat...
I agree Ariza is still a defensive asset. But you can't deny that he is an offensive liability in this system of taking as much 3s and outscoring...

It shouldn't have come down to those last plays but Nene was definitely fouled on that offensive putback :mad:
I clearly was just referring to offense. You could say Ariza has been on a slump the entire season. One good game for every 10 and people forget...
Listening to Clyde commentate games is as painful as watching him dance in Dancing with the Stars. :D
The most valuable player after Harden is Beverly. I know Ariza is a glue guy as well but that doesn't hide the fact that his offense a liability....
You're right, he plays the most minutes which is more reason for the Rockets to get a better offensive player in the offseason. This team is built...
Ariza shot 16.7% in 3s and 25% in FGs. Corey Brewer offensive numbers. Imagine how much better the Rockets can be if we can trade/replace him as...
