Biggest issue right now? Harden's turnovers

LOL trade any single superstar and rockets are either worse or the same while the other team is better

SMH

 

I wouldn't say it's the biggest issue. But it is an issue.

The Rockets have a lot of issues.

 

Lmao no .

 

You think that’s our biggest issue?

To commit a turnover you need to be both A) healthy and B) worthy of being on the court in the first place.

Our team has a gigantic problem with the two things I just mentioned.

 

LMAO @ this being the biggest issue

 

Whilst it’s a issue it’s far from the main issue. Harden has been the only player who has consistently brought it. Agenda driven thread. Let’s blame the league leading scorer(30 pts 9 assists 6 boards on 46% )

 

Didn’t check actual stats but could be because of his immense usage and single handedly having to carry every single player on our team...literally....

 

He needs help. if he does everything, he will turn it over a lot.

 

Yeah, no.

 

Why harden stole Lin’s glory

 

Biggest issue is that he's playing 43 minutes a game.

He's the only legit playmaker on the team

The problem isn't Harden.

The problem is the roster.

Harden is the ENTIRE TEAM

That's why he's the MVP

Stop blaming a poor roster where one guy has to do it all. Of course he's going to have 11 turnovers if he's asked to play 47 minutes and do everything

GET HARDEN SOME HELP and BAN BTG AGAIN

 

We seen this before James gets burned out mentally fromis usage. When that happens he turns it over usually in careless fashion

 

Half of his turnovers is when he gets doubled on high the pick. The defense has been taking away the behind the back and forcing him to throw a lob over the top of the defense. Those passes have been either getting deflected and stolen or deflected and recovered at the end of the shot clock. This one play would reduce his turnovers drastically.

 

Biggest issue is CP0 being injured and when playing looking like a washed up hack for the most part making 40 million

 

Seems that Harden does not care it at all.

Its really bad. The dude is breaking turnover record.

 

That turnovers stat is a result of Harden playing the most minutes in the league. Beard is doing everything he can because the team sucks.

 

It's Hardens work load dude.

Gordon was in a funk, Paul has been out, our bench can't even score 10PPG.

 

That happens when 80% of the offence depends of you scoring or assisting

 

GSW had 29th worst TOV% last year, and even with Rockets two years ago.

Even with Harden's increase from last year, Rockets are 17th: Better than

• GSW
• Toronto
• Milwaukee
• Indiana
• 76ers
• Jazz (27th, go Rubio!)

Since Harden has such a high Usage, and MDA talks about how he looks closer to team turnovers and doesn’t care if a higher majority are concentrated in his PGs, as long as the team numbers are acceptable, I think it’s better to track Harden based upon TOV%.

Look at how Green, Rondo, Rubio, Simmons and even Ingles fare against Harden on TOV%
