[Shams] Rockets balance of styles and stars to mark this summer in Houston

Now that would be hilarious to see..

 

No player likes playing when they start to decline and lose. It isn't Harden. It's these stars we've gotten have fallen apart after about a year.

 

When was the last time HARDEN lost to an inferior team in the playoffs?

Blake has won more often than Cousins and had a better college career.

all of that matters.

 

So basically we want HARDEN to play like Klay.....on the days that K lay shows up offensively.......except every night and not every 4th or 6th night

Chris hasn't been a Hall of Famer for a while and neither has Dwight.

 

Harden can't play any other way. So, bye CP3???

Ultimately, I think Harden's style of play, much like Westbrook's, dooms teams aspiring for championships.

Still love him, though.

 

what has blake exactly won? i mean cousins is about to get a ring. something blake wont likely get

 

He's done. His best years are looooong behind him.

 

Yeah, he's old.

 

i for one wouldn't be upset paul if requested a trade

 

Is this really your argument?

Do you know how many Hall of Famers have not won a ring?

Tracy Mcgrady never won a playoff series.

 

My quick math......shows they all simply took more shots than us

Just at a glance

Honestly ....if Capela plays half as well as his regular season

We not having this conversation

Cp3: we need more movement
Harden: Who...who The f*ck should be moving. Capela..he cannot catch the f*cking ball.
Cp3: I know and the rest seem to be a turnover waiting to happen. All we got is us

Arguably only the Portland series. It was pretty even, though.

 

Paul was the highest paid player on the team this year and Harden obviously knows that. I even think that he was okay with Paul missing so many games until the playoffs happened and Paul didn’t really deliver. The thing to consider is that Harden was behind resigning Paul for so much. I don’t think that Morey would have resigned him at this age otherwise. The team will be fine with a good offseason. I think that this year we should start limiting Harden’s minutes. It’s what Utah did with Stockton and it seems to have made a big difference in how good he was late in his career.

 

Regardless, i hope it's nothing big because otherwise it's not going to help recruiting others players here, especially the big names.

 

I figured it was just a matter of time before CP3 became annoyed with Harden. This ISO pound the ball till there is 7 seconds left crap needs to change. We are so much better when the ball moves.

 

Yes, but the slower pace helps this older, injury prone team and reduces turnovers. The skufff-ing comes when you play great defense, but can't secure the rebound. The Rockets win at least 5 more games just by cleaning that up and maybe they are still playing now.

 

Agree on why the pace is what it is. Can you imagine trying to run a Six Seconds Or Less plan with these players? You thought Gordon and Paul were often injured before...

They need better rebounding, that can also survive against the Warriors. Faried could clearly do the former, but I guess he was even more Godawful on D than Capela. It'd be nice if Hartenstein could mature. Really sad when the most playable big, for 15 minutes a game, was Nene.

Getting DAJ here for the MLE would solve a lot of problems...
