So we play team ball to catch up then go iso for the last 10 minutes?

While you are reading this post, James Harden just dribbled another 22 seconds before passing it off to Lin for a last second shot attempt.

LOL

 

This !!!! harden has Mchale around his finger even got bev to start with him

 

The players need to pass it right back to Harden whenever he pulls the "dribble for 20 seconds and pass it off" move. Give him a taste of his own medicine.

Harden really pisses me off sometimes. Guy is so freakin selfish, but we need him to win.

 

this team has probs.

Mchale is not it. most game plans in the NBA say put your best players on the court to start the game.

we are not that team.. in fact we have way too much as a team.

#1.. start Asik or Howard but not both. I would now start Asik over Howard after the tip... D12 just go win the tip and then sit down.

#2.. Each time Harden goes ISO and does not score.. sit him down.. Harden runs the pays called or he sits on the bench.. point blank. Plays are called to set the next set of of free ball plays or a play is called from the bench and run that play. it's a play game of calls.. chess and check. Execution!

we lost tonight because we can't run the plays called by the coach from a timeout or from the bench in real game time

 

I mean, I agree that we executed horribly towards the end of the game, but actually, Harden just going 1 on 5 is what brought us back.

 

come on. then you can say his poor start is what dug the rockets in the hole. this is like lakers fans saying "i know kobe went 4/20 but he hit the last shot"

as long as we all agree harden needs to step it up, and while he's still playing decent, isn't half the leader he needs to be, we can move on

"we need to start playing defense, and i will take it on myself to make sure we put the effort out there". that would be nice. although, it's more likely that he sags 10 feet away from his guy hoping to steal the b all instead

 

The TT lineup is what dug us in the whole. Harden was taking god-awful shots in the second half, he was just making them.

The last possession was horrible. No movement at all.

 

Talent is what got Rockets back in the game. they all played like knuckle heads.

 

people leave me rep comments calling me an lofer just for saying that harden would be a better fit for harden if he didn't go teenwolf all the time. Democratic ball makes him more efficient. Move the ball, bearded one.

 

This is what Harden always does why fix it if it's not broken? Oh wait...

 

Now take the ft away and there are not many that can do what D12 can do.

 

Tmac and Yao didn't have good role players before injury happened. Different situation now.

 

McHale will slowly lose the respect of the team.

It's not a lack of selfless behavior, it's a lack of structure and organization. I get it our philosophy is to come down the court quick, and line up the highest percentage of shots(an open 3 or a dunk), but when that fails...there has to be something organized and ready to go. We have nothing, absolutely nothing but 5 p&r.

Don't get me wrong p&r is an option, and now ISO dwight is too I guess, but there's got to be some creativity.

 

He has always been selfish, even during his OKC days. During the finals, my mom even said something like the guy with the beard is selfish.

 

Why not continue doing dumb stuff after all you started the game with twin flowers and then didn't yank it quick enough when it was failing

 

fing harden

 

More often than not, Harden is a great player... but when he pulls that iso mess, ignores the called plays, has poor shot selection and just chucks, and has lack of defense... it really pisses me off... but because he can explode for 30-35 points it's all tolerated...

It's like having a hot girlfriend... that only cheats on you sometimes... smh...

 

There was an ex like that in TMac, even hotter and cheated less, and folks here hate him.

 

People want to blame ISOball all on Harden but remember they did this with Dragic and Lowry too.

 

lol at this analogy
