We also could use a “J.J. Reddick” at some point in the future.
You could sleep for 100 years and those things still wouldn't happen. Dude's defensive IQ is definitely below average.
The opposing team's defensive strategy seems pretty straight forward (and smart IMHO). They are trapping Harden for certain periods of the game...
I thought Harden had a fantastic game. He defended well (again) and made the correct read out of the trap 95% of the time. Our "others" and...
I think constantly playing center is affecting RoCo's 3 point shots. Quite a few of them were just short. That tends to happen with fatigue.

I was in the camp that thought Melo wasn't close to the main problem the year his was in. I think that the emergence of House meant he'd get...
Then when you are undersized on the block you'll start doing more pushing and grabbing as fatigue sets in.
Maybe MDA is saving a counter to those traps for the post season? :oops:
I get why MDA wanted to get his big guns back in but I would have let the bench go for another minute or 2 (or until a 6-0 Portland run) before...

He's almost at 50% for the game. Those last 3 misses just came at a crucial time.
15-24 from the line. There are the points that they needed to win.

This one came down to stupid shots, missed shots and missed free throws.
He always does that. Never understood it.
I hate that shot from Westbrook in that situation
They've left 9 points on the line according to the box score.
