I know Harden hasnt been playing to his potential but lets be honest. Take out Howard and Harden. Leaves you withplayoff Roster) Ariza Brewer Smith Jones Terry Pablo Do any of these guys scare you on a scouting report?
It depends. The Rockets are unbeatable when they collectively play as a team. Minus Harden and Howard, that's quite a bit of length and veteran players on that list. It just didn't work out.
This thread sucks and fans who are so quick to turn on their players who have CARRIED THEM all season long suck the most. You should be ashamed of yourself op.
I'm laughing at any idiot who thinks Hardens 25 & 11 meant something tonight. He is padding his stats. He finally got aggressive down 30. He is the leader of the team. He needs to man the **** up and takeover the game or just play 2nd fiddle and not complain about being mentioned with the best. U are either born with it or not. Howard understands playoffs. His game rises.
Padding stats Sizzle. Harden is coasting in the 1st half. He needs to on attack mode from the start. You know he's going to get singled out because he's the leader. Howard took a back seat and said handle your business and I will follow. What fans want to see is fire and passion throughout the game and not sparingly. This team will go as far as Harden and Howard will take them. Now Howard is doing his part, time for Harden to join him. You are right our defense was outrageously terrible tonight. Clippers are getting what they want on dam near every possession.
This a false statement at its best. Tracy gave it his all. Dude stepped his game up big time in the playoffs. Unfortunately it wasn't good enough because his teammates didn't follow suit.
Tracy mcgrady should never be mentioned past the first round of the playoffs. There are so many better playoff heroes in rockets history.
THIS. Sick of all of these fair weather fans. Out of the GARM until game four. Level-headed criticism is one thing. Tired of the GARM going emo after every loss.
Go back and stay in the first round and getting blown out by 40 vs the mavericks, we've moved past the tmac era
He will naturally take the bulk of the slander bc he's The Guy and the easiest target, but there is pleeeeeenty of blame to go around. Like, a ton.
Harden's job is to score. Everyone (outside Houston) knows he is one of the laziest and worst defenders in recent history. Harden does his job. The Rockets biggest problem is the White Man's Welfare project known as Kevin McHale, who is also unable to be forceful with Morey as to what the team needs.
Tmac fans are jealous i told everyone that they are losers They like to plug and play tmac in any situation It's like a horrible video game the way their logic works
