    I will say, watching these timberwolves games I always forget the fact that Andrew Wiggins is even playing. Like seriously, what does he do?

    Harden’s had several opportunities to shoot the floater or go to the rim on ICE coverage. He’s gotta take those because the Wolves are taking away the lob to Capela.

    Harden and CP3 are doing a horrible job of getting Capela involved
    Harden worrying about stats too much in the first half
    Hack a Capela will be coming in the 2nd half

    Are we a moral victory type team now? You can't make the finals on moral victories.

    "Im still waiting on the regular season Rockets to show up" (As we won our last game by 20 & up 2-0). I'm convinced Doris Burke knows nothing about NBA basketball outside of Lebron, Westbrook or whatever current hot topic of the day. She's been making excuses for Minnesota crying about every call that didn't go the Wolves way. Worst commentator in sports

    Why did Harden come out at the start of the game just playing like a facilitator like he wasn't going to shoot for a while? That bothered me.

    Nope, intensity is ****, drunk Harden, careless Paul, clumsy Capela, disappearing Ariza, and invisible Ryan Anderson.

    Need Harden to stop facilitating & start scoring. He hasn't been aggressive at all wtf. Tucker, Gordon are missing open 3's. Capela can't finish & is bricking FTs.

    He needs to have a score first mentality throughout this entire postseason . PG Harden is easy as **** to defend against, it was the same in Game 2 which is why he struggled, he was content taking 3's instead of getting into the paint & putting pressure on their defense.

    Is he coasting for the next round because he knows we can beat them even without him playing at an MVP level?
