This Loss is on D'Antoni

7 people rotation. No energy after OT. It is the coach fault

 

can't remember seeing a seven man rotation not in the playoffs, but ever

 

Anderson was scoreless in the 4th, hit one in OT.

He hit 2 3s in the second half plus OT.....great game Ryan.

Again - @Vivi wants harden to play like guys who went scoreless I. The 4th

 

As long as you corrected yourself with that so adament "he went scoreless in OT" Ryan Anderson played very well this game actually all while guarding LA and gasol who both didn't play well

 

Aldridge didn't have it easy with Harden either. Nobody will point this out because he's the worst ever tonight.

 

But they got baskets in ot, don't try to mix it up. The only idiot (keyboard warrior at his best...) here is you since you're just trying to justify your agenda, all the players are always tired in an ot, wow...never thought about this...doesn't change the fact the Harden played no defense for 3 quarters (again, go watch the game instead of accusing others) and was literally walking for all the ot after 7 minutes of game in the 4th. Keep using the "he was tired" argument as an excuse and forget about the simple fact that he was just terrible and outplayed on both ends by a 40 years old guy.

 

ANd nobody is pointing out the pathetic and 1 from Danny green that was the real difference bw the win and loss in this game in the end

 

Everybody is pointing it out.

 

Not really. It's the tired, play calls, expand rotation, coaching scapegoat excuses that are littered here

 

Because they're factually valid observations.

 

I'm not sure why you're trying hard to twist it...you laughed at the fact that someone said "Harden tired argument is laughable" when it isn't since he was the only one playing that bad, other guys were tired too i suppose (or not?), by they just didn't look as bad as him...come on, he just played like ****, i defended Hardn after game 2 because i thought he was injured, you could see he had something bothering him by the way he was moving, tonight no need to find excuse for a stretch like that, really.

 

not when the team was very much in a good position to win.

 

Ok so @Vivi son, ive come full circle.

Harden wasnt tired.

Neither were Bev and Ryan and their scoreless 4th.

That's why they were all so amazing down the stretch.

That's why the Rockets put up 16 points in the 4th and the Spurs put up 15....NOBODY WAS TIRED

 

I've never said they were amazing and you know it. i just said they were "probably" tired too but they still played better than Harden. I can also agree on the 7 man rotation, but that's another story. I'm just saying that Harden, as much as he was tired, that alone doesn't justify a performance like that in the end, a dead man would've play better than him ffs...

 

Na... watched the whole entire game and literally saw Harden loose this game for us by trying to play hero ball

 

Facts don't work that way.

The fact that both teams were gassed and threw up a brickfest...combining for 31 points total in the 4th...is not altered by the fact that either could have won

 

I blame JAMES FREAKIN Harden... turn overs holding the ball... why does he keep doing this mess, game after game, GREAT PLAYER... dope decision.... I just don't get it..

 

None of those "facts" mattered once it got to OT. Who wants it more and who executed period.

 

Thanks for that hoary pearl of wisdom.

Spurs missed 5 straight shots and 2 FTs to start out OT before finally hitting their last 2 shots.

I guess they wanted it more and that's why they executed so well in the first 3 minutes.

 

Yup bc all playoff games are just going to be pretty hit all your shots and not grind it out who wants it more ok. Makes sense. Especially with two teams in a quarterfinals matchup that are evenly matched. Gotcha
