Why did the beard so struggle with 3 shooting in this just concluded series

    I have watched all five games of this series and found the beard has been so struggling with 3 shooting unfortunately.

    I can admit rockets get Jazz over even if 3 shooting was so poor across the whole team with the great efforts of their top-class defense. However I don't think that will happen again when rockets fight with warriors…

    Frankly speaking Harden’s performance in the playoffs lagged far behind K.D. and the king…

    Harden is the MVP of the regular season this year undoubtedly but if rockets want to grab a spot of the finals he must play just like a MVP-caliber super star..

    Hope he will come back strongly after a-week-long rest and practice…

    1. Jazz are a really good defensive team, even though we made them look bad at times (our offense is just that strong)
    2. Under the weather tonight (1/7, big chunk of his misses this series)
    3. Always a lot of random variation on 3P shooting--just unlucky

    He'll be fine

    I really hope we can see lots of step-back 3 shooting from the beard to debone the warriors. Lol...

    If they can defeat warriors any team from the east conference will just be a piece of cake for Rockets even the KING..

    Houston has not seen the champion trophy for so many years…

    CP3 needs to take more threes than him

    Hope he can come back to normal in the first game against the Golden State.

    I am a fan from Shanghai China, where Yao was born.

    I have been watching Rockets’ games for nearly 20 years and never seen the champion trophy has ever come back to Houston once again .It is a great pity that Yao failed his quest for the trophy.

    Rockets will always be the home team of most Chinese fans even if Yao retired server years ago.

    Millions and millions of Chinese fans have been keeping a close eye on Rockets’ games and so strongly hope the beard and CP3 can fulfill what has not been achieved by Yao…

    Harden’s threes are very tough shots even if he makes it look easy...shooting off the dribble, unassisted, highly contested threes all the time will cause u to go through some really bad stretches percentage-wise

    no excuses, we have to be ready next round, this is we have been waiting for the whole year, harden did not consistently play good enough in both series, he had one or two great games in each series, but he would have to be consistently good the next series for us to have a chance...
