    unbelievable...so versatile on d... unlike harden some very good perimeter defenders can not switch to big man because they can be scored on easily in the post

    from a bucks forum

    Ridiculous. They hit about 4 shots from 30 feet and won by 11. There’s your game.

    Terrible.. With him and Anderson still out there will be more of Joe Johnson lackadaisical play. Gerald Green is only spot up minutes guy.​

    Where are you getting this from? I'm rewatching the highlights and he was in the game til the 3:30 mark in the 4th quarter. CP3 came in for him at that point since he's on the floor late in the game anyway, plus the Rockets needed an additional ballhandler with all the trapping the Bucks were doing.

    This was a game we would have lost last season if not for Chris Paul. Harden had a good first half but the lack of calls throughout the game got to him and his body language in the second half was noticeable. There were several plays where honestly it looked like he quit giving any effort. The lead was trimmed down to 4 when Harden's body language was at its worst and Paul was put back in. A quick run with a barrage of 3s that Paul help set up got the lead back up into double digits quick.

    The refs weren't that great last night but Harden can't let the lack of calls get to him like that. He is way too good of a player to have the refs completely take him out of his game

    No, it's not true. Luc is fine. CP3 took a spill in the 4th, but I think he just got floor burn or something.

    This.

    I think we have seen through the years that Harden can be his worst enemy. It's like he checks himself out from time to time if things are not going his way.

    Honestly, this is pretty much his only flaw.

    With harden last year resting. He would come in early and too tired to facilitate the offense and get lazy on D. This year with addition of cp3 he can rest a little bit longer and come in fresh.


    It's like we're on cruise control until the final 5 minute with our death line up of cp3 , harden, luc ,Trevor, and capella or pj

    Harden also had trouble with the long armed defense at the 3 point line in the 2nd half, he couldn't shoot. I believe that also led to a lack of confidence. A good pep talk with CP3 and good practice, should get him in the right frame of mind for the Raptors.

    We will need to bring our A game on both ends to beat Toronto.

    A big flaw at that, although he has shown improvement by being more patient with decent results during this stretch.

    i love green but something is wrong with the guy if after several months now cp3 still constantly has to yell at him to run the wing. i'm glad we have him but watching him everyday you start to understand why he bounced around his entire career. you could argue he should have done more than he has based on his talent alone. for shame.

    I noticed that too...for someone that is flirting with all-time great status in (top 3 SG all time likely) he needs to grow the hell up
