    Shooting is all about rhythm. They continue to play stagnant offense.

    I'll take a winner in Lowry, Scola and Battier over James Harden. Would trade 1-for-1. J.B. is not the right coach in the long run, we need a hard ass.

    They double teamed Harden most of the game and JB made no adjustments. Of course the rest of Harden's poor play and lack of effort is on him.

    I hope they learn from "just this one game".

    I would have liked to see them compete more. Sunday & Monday they owe us a game.

    lol :grin:
    Getting traded. That's why he always shows up against OKC.
    Maybe the fear of a shaving machine?
    Nope you don't. You don't look at the end game, you are either superbly and incredibly homeristically optimistic or you don't watch much of the nba and you think it's the same as other sports.

    Calvin destroying the "Its just one game" comment from Harden.

    Calvin: Ok its just one game, don't let it become 2 or 3 games.

    He was in it for the lifestyle. The thing about Harden is he is more of the clean cut hipster type than somebody actually hungry in life. You think of guys like Kobe, Lebron, Westbrook, and Durant and you know Harden is not that committed to the game. It's just really disappointing in a bad way.

    JVG knew. He had a rant after halftime that was spot on. He talked about championship contenders (Cavs) versus people who just talk the talk (Rockets). People who build habits each and every day that contribute to winning (Cavs) versus people who reinforce their lazy and losing habits each passing day (Rockets).

    I know no one wants to say it, but the reason JB is still the coach of this team is because NO OTHER GOOD COACH WANTS TO HOP ONTO THIS TRAINWRECK. We have a superstar gone awry in James Kardashian. And once the middle has soured, you can't ask the rest of the team to maintain the attitude necessary to win in spite of him. Face it. Our franchise got ****ed by some reality TV show b****.

    Newsflash. We ain't getting a high seed. The Warriors and Spurs have 1 and 2 locked down. The Thunder and Clippers are solidifying the 3rd and 4th seeds. Dallas is no joke and looks like a decent bet for 5th place. Memphis is almost as mediocre as us, so 6th is a possibility. But all that does is give you OKC in Round 1 instead of Golden State or San Antonio. A less daunting opponent, no doubt, but a very tough one nonetheless. The Rockets would still be massive underdogs in that series. And even if they did somehow win(and they won't playing like this), their reward would be the Spurs in Round 2.

    Just when you think this team may be turning it around they come out against a team on their back to back squat and lay an uncompetitive stink pickle. For F sake. What a season. We as fans get kicked in the sack and when we regain consciousness ask for another one.

    we are not far behind the Mavs for 5th and if we played the Clippers in the first round, we would beat them again

    No, it's because Les Alexander doesn't want to have to pay for real coach.

    LA is on an absolute tear this year. Houston got lucky against them last year and they were a good team. Houston is garbage this year and doesn't have MVP Harden to bail them out. They have Khloeharden who is a loser. There is no beating them in a series the only team I think they could beat and it would be close is Memphis. Just not a good team.
