    The bench did great I agree, I can even agree with you somewhat about Harden, by CP was there leading the bench and he was influencing the game in more ways than scoring, I think we can take middle ground here though haha

    He did play simple ball. Heck, Paul had the ball more than him in the 4th quarter when Harden was out there.

    I guess you didn't even watch the game.

    Yep, we won this game because of the Green House effect.

    We were averaging 42 three point attempts per game this season. We had a losing record.

    Tonight we attempted 29 threes and won.

    Yea and there's nothing wrong with that, Moreyball is 3s and layups not just threes.

    Can anyone address why NBA shawed one point from Blazers? I swear Blazers scored 104 and McCollum definitely didn't miss two straight free throws in the last minute (espn source).

    You do understand when the bench and CP3 went to rest. Harden was on the court when the Blazers went on their run right? Harden hit a 3, then the wheels fell off. MDA had to bring CP3 back early to handle the ball because Harden went dumb.. There is no point arguing if you don't have all the facts.. go back and watch the game. You weren't watching.

    House +24. Good hustle from him, NeNe, and Green— enough to overcome Harden and PJ’s negativity in the +/- column. Tonight was one of those games where, three times, we surge when Harden goes to the bench. Don’t like those games, but that’s isoball against good D— we’re only gonna win if we can get stops and runouts. Of course, on any night, Harden can go off. But best of 7 is a tall order for 1-on-5, with lots of defensive lapses and deficit rebounding. Also, we’d better up our FT%.

    Tonight I was pleased with our effort on D. We got just enough fast breaks.

    CP had another average game and the last few minutes does not negate how awful he looks right now. As to say Father Time and injuries have caught up to him. Harden was atrocious finishing the game. Just terrible.

    Positives were Nene looking Ike the 017 beast that we had. We looked better with him then Clint out there tonight.Loving the House Signing as well. Green light was on tonight as well.

    For how awful he was, he had a triple double with 3 steals

    He was missing easy shots all night and looked slow. Harden had a nice stat line and he was not good either. It’s not just stats

    If MDA had any sense he will work the bench in the game and use there energy to win games.

    He had a plus 9 and led the bench. Those shots will come back, you dont decline in scoring and are still great at everything else, not how it works.
