    We broke 20 points. Harden on pace for 12 shots, lol. How do you hit Harden over the head and tell him to score. It's numbing.

    Another Harden-Era "Quit/Pout" playoff disaster.

    You know why. Vogel sat Javale and Dwight game 2 and after, and they started trapping Harden.

    To EVERYONE who ever says “can’t blame this one on harden”

    he is supposed to be the leader of this team but he has absolutely no heart. He has been a stat padding cancer to this team for Years and until he is gone, these are the results that are going to happen. No team with James harden is EVER going to win a title and then you add the second biggest stat padder “mr triple double” to this team- I KNEW this was how this season was going to end

    blow it up, get the gm and coach out of here, get some picks and try and build for the future

    UNLESS you like the regular season ride and accept the fact that this team will never go anywhere

    Play harder on D and the 3s should stop being so hot for the Lakers.

    On offense, for the love of the basketball gods, please execute a 4-on-3 offense like a competent team. There should be open 3's, layups, and floaters all day everytime Harden gets doubled.

    Our best offense is Westbrook to get a pass in the middle of the paint and let him dish to the wings for and open 3. If we can continue this, less harden double teams. Otherwise it will be a long day

    How can we get Harden more shots without him being double teamed? The only solution I can think of is having him play off ball. But I highly doubt D'antoni has such plays

    Q1 ended with a bit of momentum. Keep going.
