Harden lost his man tonight for a good 2 seconds, watch out for it on Shaqtin a fool. Effort is still a problem with Harden and the whole team actually.
I thought Josh Smith played OK in the 1st half. 2-6(the usual 0-3 from three) 4 points, 4 rebounds(3 off) in 10 minutes. He was only -1. Yet He got benched after Dwight half-assed on a Bulls fastbreak and blamed Smoove. The game went to HELL when michael Beasley was inserted into the game. Why not insert Harrell then or atleast keep Josh in. What the hell was Bickerstaff thinking? Harrell plays solid defense. Something this team needs.
then what's our overall w-l record for the season, with all harden's amazing stats? why should we build around him?
I could be wrong but I feel like I remember Feigen tweeting Smith was on a bike. Might have had some kind of injury.
I think you have to - but you need a much better coach, Chicago was back cutting us all game and I was like...MOTHER ****ER why can't we do that? DD
I blame DMo. Should have boxed out Harden at the restaurant and grabbed the A-1 sauce himself. Harden just outworked him for it. Disappointing effort, IMO.
Whats sad is he's done this several times this game and in games before but idiots keep insisting our bad D is all on Harden.
So when can Andrew join the fun? Beasley will get it going once he gets used to seeing the madness and playing in it with extended PT.
I think possibly the answer to the Rocket s problems is to promote Bickerstaff for another three years, so he has the job security and can coach knowing he will not be held accountable during the season. The guy has obviously possibly done a fabulous job, the rotations are on point and Lil B is having a good time. Why not just promote him, just might make sense at the moment.
