    I feel Rockets would be joke in playoffs.

    Too many soft players in this team.

    The coach of the year is forcing him to become a stretch 4 instead of letting him do what he does best

    The Rockets lost their swagger and confidence by showing up not ready to play and getting blown out in that 3rd quarter. Confidence is huge for this team because that's when they can make threes, it's not like this team relies on defense. This team works best when they feel good about themselves.

    They weren't supposed to win the following year either. It was painful to watch Costas grudgingly acknowledging our championship. I believe he said, "The Rockets are the best for now.", but he was salty because the Bulls weren't the champions.

    that Mountain Dew commercial with Westbrook.... mountain dew saying congrats russ at the end kind of implying he's going to get the MVP

    and if he doesn't they are just congratulating for the triple doubles

    So past 10 games including this one, Harden has put up 110 3 pointers and made 33 for 30%. I know our offense is revolved around taking 3's but there's no reason that he should be jacking up 11 3's a game when he's a mediocre shooter. People give flak to Westbrook for his terrible shot selection but Harden has been quietly jacking up 11 3's a game while shooting a terrible %. I think it's safe to say if Harden doesn't find his shot before the playoffs we're pretty screwed...

    Morey and MDA can be partly blamed for this disastrous focus on 3pt. When I made a thread about this team issue of not using the mid-range and keep jacking it up, people laughed, mocked, scoffed..it will be our downfall. Can you imagine WB being told to focus on just threes, FTs and lay-ups??

    Wow improvement: AND Curry was 6 for 8 from the 3 point line. They're beatable. Have been all year. That's why we beat them.

    11 3's isn't that far off from his season average of 9.4. and really outside of the 3 games right after he hurt his wrist, he hasn't shot horribly recently. his last 3 games he was at like 38 or 39% on 3's.

    Have no choice on the ride, but varience doesn't explain effort and apathy. I ride and die with Harden but sometimes he needs a lil captain in him.

    1.6 more per game adds up, he's been settling more for the contested outside shot, especially when he's shooting a career low FG & 3pt %
