    It's too much of a distraction at this point and we need to win games.

    Nah, but threads saying the streak needs to end need to end.

    So we’ll win more if Harden scores less? Great logic...

    The streak wasn't the reason we lost tonight. Unless you are referring to the streak of missed 3 point shots by Green and Tucker.

    Agreed, it's messing with Harden, he freezes up near 30 points.

    superstitions are distractions, too.

    1-12 from deep between Tucker and Green.....when their only job offensively is to hit threes to open up the paint.

    The streak could have ended just fine if we actually did anything while up 15 when Harden went out or a Non Harden player hit a ****ing shot in the last 5 minutes

    Harden is the main reason this team isn't in the lottery right now. He settles for the 3 too much at times but there's no one else on this team dependable enough to step up so Harden is doing what he feels he needs to do to try and keep this team afloat. The organization failed him this year.

    This season has been miserable in every way outside of Harden’s streak. Keep it going as long as possible.

    Harden wouldn't need to jack up so many 3s if his teammates don't shoot 1-12 from the 3.

    Would be nice if PJ could hit an open 3. I actually think it’s the reverse, Harden isn’t being as aggressive to get everyone else involved.

    I swear y’all would rather harden scores 20 ppg with rivers, green, and tucker going 1-30 from 3 every night.

    Harden has not had 10+ assists in like 17 games. Longest stretch in nearly 2 seasons. Rockets are at their best when Harden is getting assists and guys are hitting their shots.

    The spacing off for the shooter. Paul and Harden are not passing to them cleanly in rhythm, and the passes are not to the correct spots. Then, the shooters are not hitting the shots when they are open.

    I know this their offense, but they are not playing together at all right now at team. Especially if they are going to start calling these offensive fouls, you need more offensive plays and nuances with more guys starting the plays.

    It has nothing to do with Harden's streak. We blew a 19 point lead because we didn't play defense and missed too many wide open 3 pointers. Plus, the Lakers had 18 more free throws than us.

    I don't want to hear the Lakers fans moaning ever again.... because the referees help them big time in the 4th quarter.

    In the 4th period tonight - from 12:00 to 1:24 (after Scott Foster decided to send Harden away and the game was over)...the non Harden Rockets had

    1 Capela alley from Harden
    1 Gordon 3 from Paul
    7 misses
    0 FTA

    If not streak, then what?

    I can not understand how this team can make the same mistakes over and over again. Time to change the direction of the team. Obviously MDA is lost and can not find a way to correct the mistakes of a team that has imploded.
    Morey's failures in the offseason have led us to absolute mediocrity.
    I think the time has come for great changes ...

    It appears like the league likes the streak as long as the rox lose. I Have seen games where James starts to get calls down the stretch that he doesn't get normally just so he can get over 30
