    Harden still doesn’t get setting the tone defensively, as he can rely on his offense to be enough almost every single night.

    Hell, he passed up shot after shot....and these stiffs he plays with can't hit a bucket.Let this sink in...frankenstein is more valuable than PJ at this moment. We'd have been in deep trouble w/o PJ's 5 pts. and 5 rebounds in 34 minures. Note: Harden had 6 rebounds in 37 minutes.

    2 first rounders for James Johsnon and MKG...im serious, this defense is unacceptable. Lets just let Tucker play at the three.

    I swear Harden on stayed in the game during garbage time just so Morey can go on the radio to rave about Harden's 30pt streak and how great he's the greatest player of all time statistically.

    This season Morey has praised Harden on the radio and media more than seeing him actually improve this team.

    That's great and all but if you actually think Harden's the GOAT, then why aren't you giving him actual healthy help? Instead you keep adding injury prone players to this team who can't hit 3s consistently using a 3s and layups only model which has failed time and time again. :oops:

    Can't trade him for Jimmy.

    PJ & Eric too much!

    Yeah man, I hate to be realistic, but that's exactly what it's looking like.

    I'm not paying for season tickets next season if Tilman is going to be cheap like this. I hate that we are wasting Harden's prime.

    We literally need a good defensive power forward and center at this present time. I do not trust Tucker's defense this season.

    It doesn't help we just don't have any height, so we're going to get bullied in the paint game after game. The only reason we'd have a chance of winning was because Harden was dropping around 45 points a game.

    PJ is better than we give him credit for , but he's just totally worn down at this point .

    We needed to take advantage of Clark and hartenstein earlier . They could have taken 10 minutes a game from him and he would be in much better shape right now

    It's not like he was solely in there, jacking up shot after shot to try to get 30. He passed to Green who butterfingers it. He passed it to Tucker who missed from 3. The ball was moving around. Harden only took that last 3 because the shot clock was about to expire.

    The big German actually looked ok out there despite the Plumlee block so maybe Dantoni can swallow his pride can play him more

    He's one year removed from that, i get hes not shooting it well, but last year was predicated on us having good defenders around tucker, thats what made it work and he was the heart of our top 10 defense last year, if we could just get better defensive players, this wouldnt be an issue.

    He was holding the bruised knee. He won’t play tomorrow for sure. He was limping pretty bad

    Bzdelik needs to go back home and spend more time with his family. Maybe he'd be more successful giving his wife some D cause he damn sure ain't giving the Rockets any.

    You want to see some really ugly stuff....see what we'd look like w/o Jimmy. He's not the problem AT ALL...name me another single player who would be successful with this ragtag bunch.
