Rockets ain't hitting 22 threes again at a 40% clip. They was on their way to losing by 30 if not for their 3s. Good luck on that happening again. Meanwhile they still got no answer for AD

I mean him not being worthless kind of is the key for this team. Harden played well. Russ averaged 27 a game this season and put up 10 points on 27% shooting to go along with 7 turnovers.The running mate he traded for. Weren't you saying Russ was key for this team?

Going forward I’d only rest Harden when Bron is also resting. Make sure EJ, or at least House is out there too so I have another ballhandler.
Try to make my Russ + no Harden lineups as painless as possible.

Harden controls the rockets and their roster now? When did he become lebron?

AD + Bron will be more consistent for 7 straight games than Russ + Harden. Advantage: Lakers.

the Lakers can’t stop harden without double teaming him Which is leading to a load of quality 3’s. If they continue to double him like this the math advantage will play a factor
Hou started to figure out the doubles and were getting open 3s left and right. If Russell is even mediocre tonight they would have won. Just have to hope Russell isn’t a complete disaster.

He clearly forced the cp3 trade
. On top of that there's a very shallow pool of players that can mesh with his style so you're left with a bunch of 1 dimensional guys on minimum deals

This is funny
At least Russ is aware. Bounce back game 3 he won’t be this terrible again. (Hopefully)

How does HE get blamed for the INdirect?
I thought the Houston Rockets had a fully functioning Front Office that constructed this style and team.

If lakers are gonna double harden when russ is the court, Russ needs to catch the ball on the perimeter and immediately go downhill. he's either going to be get a shot at the rim, cause the defense to help and he can kick out, or draw a foul. hell, take a few steps and get that midrange going.
him taking a 3 is an automatic rebound for the lakers. lakers rendered him useless today.

Cp3 trade maybe, the second part is just not true at all. What kind of player can’t mesh with hardens style of play?He clearly forced the cp3 trade

'Maybe' lol
. Apparently cp3 didn't like all the iso and wanted to actually run an offense. So there's the best example right there when they'd easily be better with him than Russ. He also wanted cp3 in the first place and the rockets gave up a lot in that deal also. It's all tied to harden

Harden had CP, Dwight and Bosh lining up to sign with him.
If Houston had cap talent would come.
