This thread is almost as much of an anti-jinx as the "I've grown to Hate James Frauden" thread. Keep it up, my friends!
When a player has to take a team on his back and control the ball most of the time he is going to be tired. James and the Rox have lost their share of close games this season. You could suspect that a coaching change would free Harden but maybe he is just a big minute ballhandler and he isn't going to change.
Yes, but he doesn't have much of a choice most of the time. On rare occasions the guys have gone on a run with Harden on the bench. He is the only player who can pass the ball, despite not being a point guard. It's a pity that Lawson and he couldn't play together.
This post has a lot of truth. This is the problem. You guys want to claim some sort of victory after last night because Harden put the team on his back and willed us to a victory against a LBJ less Cavs team last night. No one is saying James Harden is the only problem on this team. His turnovers are a problem though. A very big problem. It's not solely his turnovers obviously. Dwight has his fair share and since he's come back, D-Mo as well. We have to play transition defense way too often. But Harden is the biggest culprit. I'm not sure how you boneheads can look at the fact that Harden is committing more turnovers than ever before and say "oh derp derp no big deal." It is a big deal. I bumped the thread because Bickerstaff (who I think is over his head) acknowledged some of this problem last night and Webber was frying Harden. Then right after, Harden had two of his patented lazy bounce pass turnovers. I'm glad he went on to carry us to a win. That's awesome. Superhuman performance. But in the long run if we have to rely on a performance like that just to beat the Cavs without LBJ, we're in big trouble. We've been in big trouble this entire season. Our defense is a trainwreck. Turnovers are very relevant to that. Harden leads the team, league, and history books in turnovers. Unfortunately some here cannot agree with that. I'm not gonna stop bumping the thread b/c Harden pulls off amazing performances. That's a b**** move. The criticism should be there until he cuts down on his turnovers over a long stretch, at least to the level of other players of his caliber.
We've all had turnovers. I have had apple, blueberry, lemon, peach, and strawberry. That's five right there!
HAI GUYZ - LET ME TROLL-SPLAIN MYSELF Y U CAN'T CLAIM "VICTORY"JUST BECAUSE IT IS AN "ACTUAL VICTORY" FOR THE ROCKETS LED BY HARDEN. Spoiler You're not doing this correctly. Spoiler Another victory.
Harden is still on pace to easily break the turnover record. Our defense, in transition and overall, is still horrible. The Rockets are still barely hanging on to the 8th seed. Calm down. It's not that serious, breh. Maybe step away from the keyboard for a little and take a few deep breaths before you have an aneurysm.
Its really not the board's fault you are struggling with these concepts. They have been explained to you over and over and over again. You either don't have the capacity to understand or you purposefully choose to ignore them. Not only do you ignore them, you embrace your own ignorance like it is some badge of honor. On top of that, you limp around trying to troll. Confidence in your own dumb opinion is not an excuse for ignorance. For whatever douche reasoning you have, you have decided to turn my simple position of into a series of idiotic troll attempts: You are a tool, there is no way around it. You try and troll, fail, then get crushed for trying, then try and turn around and say no no no, my position is reasonable, I am just trying to prove a point, that's why I am trolling.
Smoove can pass the ball. He was probably the second best playmaker on the team and we benched him because he went on a shooting slump and yet guys like Brewer are allowed to run out there despite how many fast break turnovers, bricks, or airball corner threes he puts up.
Here is still what happened at 9:57 pm EST last night, as the Rockets were down in the 3rd period: Here is what happened within the next 30 minutes or so (maybe around the 6 minute mark) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9KEn4_00jkk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I guess turnovers didn't matter after all bro! perhaps you too can claim "victory"
HAI GUYZ - I LOST MY OWN THREAD BUT I CAN TRY TO WINTERNET Seriously though, you should watch teh full game, or at least the condensed one. It was very enjoyable for a Rockets fan....maybe not for you as much. it's too bad really.
You were in such a tizzy to one-up me that you scrambled to post a link to highlights. You didn't even bother to check what you were posting. Lelelel I haven't lost anything broski. Harden's turnovers are still an issue. Our defense still sucks in part due to that. Yeah. I watched the full game. Did you? Like I said. The thread was bumped after Bickerstaff and Webber's comments and Harden's two horrible turnovers in the third. Good thing Harden had a superman performance. He didn't make any risky passes during that stretch. He didn't have any turnovers. Explain to me why he can't stop doing pocket passes all game long, like he did during the last half of the third and entire fourth quarters last night. Lol at the old "real Rockets fan" line.
You mean he only took the risks THAT WORKED, that is the kind that MOREY needs to understand, not the kind of star-fker can kicking RISKS that never pan out. I like gambles, but give me SURE GAMBLES like with what you already have, don't chase the payday always. DD
