    That last possession should tell you how dumb the Rockets are. Harden is being guarded by a smaller player .. after pounding the ball to less than 8 minutes on a shot clock .. he asked for a screen knowing he will get a taller Paul George to guard him .. Harden went to his-never-work-lately step back

    There’s no way we’re not dead last in the league in wide open 3pt%. It’s actually ridiculous.

    Need Westbrook to put the team on his back and carry us to victory.

    McGrady was another guy living in his own perfect world that kept getting interrupted by the reality. Earning it is tough but you have to be in a place mentally where you've made what's uncomfortable your actually comfort zone. These guys don't have the heart to get there.

    Hard to replicate what GS was doing without Steph and Klay. We're gonna have nights like this simply because we don't have the greatest shooter of all time. But still, that was a terrible half to watch. ****ing pathetic.

    No. They're literally clogging the paint and banking on us missing the wide open 3pt shots. Literally 17 of our 3pt shots have been really wide open. They're doing what the Knicks did the other day.

    I think everyone knows how good the Clippers are here, theres no lack of respect here for them.

    But.... that doesnt mean that we aren't pissed about the lack of a plan B, HORRIBLE shooting, no FTs, and boneheaded turnovers.

    The Clippers are doing what they need to do, but they are NOT causing our problems above.

    I think if McLemore and Gordon aren't going to hit shots, run out Thabo and Demarre, they at least play defense.

    Missed the first half...was wondering if I should tune in since we’re getting raked over the coals, but hell—you never know, maybe my eyes will be the difference in this second half o_O

    We gotta stop giving harden the benefit of the doubt. He looks drunk out there he keeps losing grip on his dribble

    To me it's not just his statistics though. He seems incredibly slower than previous years. He has no explosive drive any more. It's like he's added weight and it's affecting everything. He is significantly slower with his reaction time as well. His passes don't seem as crisp as previous years. Everything literally just seems off with him. I'm at this point concerned
