    True, but this shows the weakness of MDA. The coach has to stamp his authority by calling out players and changing things up, when it's not working.

    Harden should had a verbal back and forth with CP3 when he went 3-14 in game 5.

    This is nothing, if you’ve ever played competitively in any sport this happens.

    We need to add more fiber into the offense to create more consistent movement.

    Yeah and Curry went off in the second half …. 32 points I believe? (game 6)

    A little defense would have gone a long way to winning both those games and Curry was mainly CP3's responsibility defensively and he got torched. (he did hit some damn hard shots , a three over Tucker that was well defended).

    I really hate seeing both of them on the court together - when one initiates the offense the other is standing at the damn timeline.

    We'ee going to resign D'Antoni? His job is to balance the egos. The more I listen to the drama the more I want D'antoni gone. F' it call in Mario Elie. We are seriously looking to acquire another star?

    Rick Adelman's Princeton offense …. I really miss watching that brand of basketball. They were fun to watch every night win or lose. and really , it generated a lot of the same type of shots. I wonder how Harden would fare out of the high post ….

    This ISO heavy offense is hard to watch , no matter how great at it Harden is or how many games they win , its ugly to watch.

    Not surprising James Harden as an elite scorer and puts pressure on the defense when he has the ball but he puts zero pressure on the defense when he doesn't have the ball. But even he kept the ball you can see that Cp3 Gordon and Harden needed to have big games which only comes when you have a rhythm. I like James but his attitude has got to change. His level of sacrifice and effort needs to improve in situations when he is off the ball

    SAS kind of debunking the Athletics on this story. Starts at 3:38 - 5:30

    Harden also stated that he has to play like this, like 40 ppg dropping one man show, he said he did not necessarily like it.........

    I think he is schizophrenic. Someone in him likes it.

    I just don't believe the Rockets can win a Championship with Harden and Paul.

    There is too much Rigging, Referees Personal Haterd, Adam Silver creating a Fake Dynasty in the Warriors that other teams don't matter.

    Plus Daryl Morey can't Draft Playoff Rotation players, Can't develop them either.

    Throwing every draft pick, with horrendous signings.

    Chris Paul needs to shut up where was he the first 5 games? If he actually showed up maybe we’d have a chance

    I dun see it as drama as this type of situations should clear themselves out in the offseason.

    During the season, that got leaked? It is bad.

    Haha, I am recalling Rox hired McHale just because Alexander wouldn't talk to the press, searched for someone who was eloquent.
