I am not worried about Harden. He goes through funks and overall ends up as an elite player. The spacing has improved as well. I am concerned about the absolute lack of discipline on the team, no clue defensively and lack of execution at the line.
People wanted Harrell to play blame the coach, Harrell get playing time blame coach for bad rotation.
I think this slump might be a good thing (if rockets keep winning). 5 games into the season and Harden probably out of the running for MVP so he can focus on other team things.
Just playing devils advocate, how is he out of the running? We could win 60 games yet. And if that's the case I am willing to bet he has HAM numbers.
I said it during the offseason, I was not a fan of the Brewer signing. He's certainly capable of making huge plays, but he's way to wild and can't shoot for ****. He was utterly horrendous today.
They said he wasn't feeling well and didn't come back into the game after halftime. I guess he was sick or something.

Purely Media related. He really isn't out, but since he has had such a terrible start to the season no one will mention him even if he goes off the rest of the season. Everyone seems to hate him.
What a fantastic, very exciting game tonight. Dwight was the Orlando Dwight tonight, 10-10 23 points, and 14 rebounds. Didn't have any blocks but he changed a lot shots. Harden didn't have a good shooting night but he continued to attack that rim resulting in 17 foul shoots. I love what Lawson brings to the table. And I'm glad McHale is allowing him to run the point. Ariza and Thornton were on fire tonight. Capela was huge off the bench
Dwight had some scratches on his eyelid that I could see when we spoke with him in postgame... eye looked a little bit bloodshot as well. I'm guessing it was from the no-call late where he got hit on the rebound.
James Harden will never be the MVP. Even if he deserves it. He's a villain/cheater/lazy/whatever is convenient for the media at any given moment. I hope to hell in wrong but I think his fate is sealed. He'll never get the accolades he deserves. So yes, let's hope he gets rings instead.
