    the Rockets need another star that can carry the load when Harden is having 1 of his meltdowns

    It's tough to isolate and understand what is happening . From a harden falling apart standpoint that is .

    We have several factors in play

    1) worn down from guarding bigs?
    2) SA scheme tricking him
    3) just playing really really poorly ?

    He's giving effort on D vs the bigs , he's just completely out of whack on offense . He's not making the right decisions and even when he makes the right call , he isn't executing .

    For sure the biggest issue is coaching . from this perspective we ask the question ... Is POP that good or is Mike that dumb ?

    Plus you have to weight random variance lol

    You could write a paper on what happened this series and multiple pages on just this game

    I get the frustration man. But you can't give up on your teammates, coach, and loyal fans

    This doesn't kill either.

    We came out with a mediocre as **** lineup and grabbed 3rd seed OVERALL in the NBA. Better record than the Cavs. Now replace the losers with serviceable players and see what happens next season.

    Harden has the highest +/- of the team of -9, Lou -17 Ryan -16. Just thought I'd point that out with the board imploding about Harden right now. Does seem like he has given up though.

    NOW the seats look empty. That's not what it looked like at the beginning of the game.

    I am amazed ppl are trying to blame Morey, D'antoni, Dekker and Anderson for this. When your superstar only takes like 2 FGA what do expect? What adjustment can D'antoni do?

    This is on Harden. And I bet after the game we find out he has been injured.

    Harden always plays from behind the rest of the team...thats nothing new. Guard Simmons? Simmons will run by him like hes a statue

    Remember the record turnover game against GS? Harden looked dazed, hungover, something. Well?

    Might be true, but it ultimately doesn't matter. He doesn't get the right to respond by checking out on his organization and his teammates with their season on the line. Which is exactly what he's doing tonight and has done in the playoffs earlier in his career.

    i could stomach a close hard fought loss but this is just bitterly disappointing. more so because of the ramifications and perception of this team next season. Just hoping these guys put up a fight in the second half AT LEAST!
