    This defense is a joke. Like seriously how does a NBA caliber defense allow such eat freedom in the god damn paint?

    At 5'10" with no where close to NBA talent, I'm pretty sure I could score in the paint against the Rockets.

    The pacers play harder than we do.....and we don't have enough good shooters.

    Undersized guys have to work too hard to do the meaningful championship things in regards to basketball that matter to win a championship.

    Harden would have at least 15 assists by now if his teammates could hit some open shots

    The Rockets have zero margin for error. We are screwed if Westbrook isn't playing.

    I'd be embarrassed if I were Harden's support. This game is totally on them. They've been complete trash.

    those okc teams were infinitely more talented than the rockets. It’s just they weren’t going anywhere with Westbrook running the show. That 2017 okc roster was very talented

    Predictable pariah behavior.

    Not sure why he said that. 90% of our 3pt shots have been wide open looks. That's not good defense.... that just means we've shot terribly.

    Exactly and it's ingrained in Gordon's DNA, he can't help himself. Also doesn't help that coach just allows the guys to keep shooting threes. That's still a very legitimate gripe by analysts. We have a very risky strategy and when threes don't fall, whistles don't blow, we are ****ed. And it will happen come play-off time. That's why I want to see Morey and MDA gone, hate taking it to such an extreme that there's literally no room for debate or variety, except if you are Westbrook. The rest of the guys have their close-to-mid range shot taken out of their system completely.
