Yes, the Rockets' problems stem from the guy who put up 29-6-7-2 this season.
Some of y'all...
Melo has put up those stats almost good whole career, yet wouldn't many people say that Knicks' problems stem from him?
Don't let Harden's numbers fool you. His gaudy numbers come from being a statue of defense, ball dominant, an inefficient shooter, and getting the benefit of the doubt on many foul calls. There is no doubt that he is talented and exciting as hell to watch 1 on 1, but there are 4 other players he relegates to casual fans when he's on the court
As much as Dwight turns the ball over, Brewer be useless, Ariza continuing to be less than 30% shooting, and Terrence Jones getting the workload of your PF spot for most of the year, I'd regulate them as spectators too. Also, Harden had similar #s last year while actually playing much better D, so, yea.

There aren't any?
Soooo... there's more to a player than what numbers show?
His defense is inexcusable, too.

I mean....didn't that answer the question? The team collectively took a step back, several steps actually. Brewer and Josh Smith were very good impact pickups last year. This year, 1 can't get off the bench, and the other has been abysmal all year, especially on defense, and STILL hasn't hit a 3 since March 25th, and continues to be trotted out there for 25+ minutes every night.

Even with his turnovers, there's no reason for why the rockets are paying Dwight that much to take less than 10 shots a game. It just doesn't make sense. He's shooting 60% in the post, is more athletic than most centers and probably has more stamina. Feed that man in the paint, get the other team's big man in foul trouble and out the game. It's that simple.
And Ariza shoots about as well as harden so I'm not really understanding your logic on his diminished role on the rockets.

Attempt at trade embargo. Harden making Dwight's stats look weak so other teams think he's washed and ends up staying with Houston. Thus, harden will always have his scapegoat

Rockets are pathetic. They played a great 1st half then came out and quit in the 2nd. w/o Steph they got killed in the 3rd quarter. Ain't no excuse for that.

Harden's passing/lobs were a thing of beauty in the first half. They even got bogut in real quick foul trouble early in the 3rd quarter. The could've continued to destroy the warriors in the paint, yet for some unexplainable reason, it became nothing but perimeter offense for them. Oh, never mind, i forgot that they stopped playing defense as soon as klay and dray started hitting those 3s.

His teamates looked at him crazy when he tried to play hero ball. Honestly with Kobe gone, I hope hero ball stops

He had a few in the series, but not nearly enough as he should be getting.
tldr: Reggie Jackson
