They fouled us 6 or 7 straight possessions. . . the only difference is their weren't called Some teams are 'allowed' to be lazy . . others are not Rocket River it matters
Westbrook shot 8 wide open 3s.....EIGHT, because he is too stubborn to recogize that he is open for a reason, they WANT him to take that shot. He has to go in for something better, midrange for him is better......honestly he should stop shooting 3s all together. DD
and it’s foolish to be focusing on Harden doing more off-ball instead of how the rest of the team is playing Harden is currently having the best season of his career with career highs in multiple basic and advanced stats...Harden had 24 points on 9-18 shooting, 11 assists, and just 2 turnovers against GS...he went 6-10 from 3 while the rest of the team went 10-41 on mostly wide open looks yet we got a thread crying about how he didn’t run around off-ball...the stupidity on CF has to end eventually what people should be crying about is how garbage the rest of the team was, or how we allowed 116 to GS...y’all crying about a hangnail (Harden), while ignoring the stab wound to the chest (rest of the team)...nonsense
4 on 4 basketball. Or in our case what is often 4 on 3 basketball. Always favors the offense. We should shred that easy. But we do not have basketball players on offense, we have role players and specialists that cant seem to function without being spoon fed. With THAT said. In the playoffs. When things are TIGHT. Harden absolutely needs to contribute off ball. Do... SOMETHING. I blame coaching on that one. I do not care if Harden is reluctant to change. The right coach finds a way to make it happen.
Not the point, the point is that movement without the ball makes you difficult to guard and/or double team. Standing around at midcourt on offense because you're not involved isn't helpful...
