Thoughts on the game:

1. Lin, Harden, and Asik have to stop flopping. Either make a real move to score, or pass the ball. Lin and Harden running into the paint and colliding people might have worked well mid-season. But it's not going to in the playoffs. GMs have definitely sent in tapes of James Harden to the league office. The way he's been Officiated recently shows there's been a change. Harden has to change now going to the hoop.

2. Lin should have taken that last shot. He's hit game winners before and has proved he's not intimidated by big moments. His 2 threes late in the fourth was the reason the Rockets even had a chance to win in the last minute. Ride the hot hand right? No reason why they couldn't run an iso with Lin. Especially since Harden technically missed his shot attempt against Phoenix.

3. Terrence Jones is playing great. I agree with the commentators. He played well in pre-season. Why was he buried in the rotation? Why did Robinson and D-Mo get a shot first?

 

Bwhahahahahaahhaah Did yall see Memphis got treated the same way we got treated. The Ref's F them last night as well in their own building.

 

Since we are talking about facts and logic, havent you seen great ball movement with Harden on the court as well..I see you used a small sample size of games, meaning only a few games in which Harden didnt play. I can name at least 10-15 games where the ball movement was superb with Harden being on the floor as well.
And how should Harden learn from Parson, they both play different roles. Harden role is to facilitate and the run the offense ( go to guy, and 1st option) while Parson job is do exactly what you stated. And I disagree that he has been the more effective player. With Harden on this team, our winning % went up, that is why we are in the playoff's as we speak.

It is funny that yall come on here and break down Harden every move, mainly his flaws. Just cant be happy that this young inexperienced team is in the playoff's in which nobody thought we would. We are having an successful season, future is looking bright after three long years of mediocre basketball. hahahahahahahaha even seen a joker come on here talking about the few seconds of the game, and who has the better shooting % out of Harden and Lin. Too Darn Funny..

 

Hey pimpn another thing Harden played a chunk of those 30 minutes against the opposing team starters as well..Joker failed to mention that important detail as well. Also the assist leading to an assist, joker never bring that up as well......bwhahahahahhah too funny

 

He had to do something wrong to get into McHale's dog house. And D. Morey wanted his guys ( D-Mo and Robinson to get some burn) especially D-Mo. That is why PPat and Morris was traded.

 

Thank you Andreakate from GB Lee:

This was kind of a "holding my breath" kind of play. I was hoping this foul didn't affect his right arm since he had a problem with it before.

 

Again from Andreakate.

LOL at the ref listening in.

 

Yes but you forgot to mention that they weren't prepared for a Harden-less team so "the team" they scouted and prepped for was different so that threw them. But teams adjust and would have made the correct preparations if Harden was to be out for a while or wasn't on the team.
