    Every year, Harden spends the regular season convincing me I had no reason to dislike him. Then the playoffs happen.

    Harden makes a 3, whole play gets missed cuz announcers are blowing their load on how good CP is.

    I'm sorry, MDA is just not capable. What coach watches his team miss 3 after 3 and makes ZERO adjustments? The same coach that can watch his team miss 17 straight 3's that's who.

    Same story, different year. MDA needs more players in the rotation. Harden breaks down in the big moments.

    Need a guy that can close with fire and aggression consistently. There's always questions with this dude.

    Man blow this **** up.

    Its time to move on. This is just delaying the inevitable. James ain't it. Dantoni ain't it and unfortunately Morey won't get the chance to rebuild the team.

    Either way, its time to kill this crop.

    25 years of watching choking in the playoffs.

    What the hell is the matter with me?

    I hate this.

    I hate this so much.

    We might be rooting for the stupidest team in NBA history, sporting the chokingest "star" of all-time.

    Yeah, there's a reason no team has ever taken 57 threes in a playoff game because that **** doesn't work. Get stops, get points.

    Rockets can only win games by 10+ points. If it's closer than that, you know they'll choke, primarily Harden.

    I'm getting tired of this era of basketball. It's so consistent. Same terrible finishes. Same terrible late game strategy. Same terrible late game coaching. Same terrible Harden late game shot selection.

    I'm just getting tired of it. They aren't winning a championship, so I may be ready to look for some substantial change. This happens far too often, and it's just tiresome at this point.
