0-3 with Beardo.

Plenty of time for a turn around.

It's not Harden as to why they're losing though, there is no reason to put blame on him when it's not him.

One thing against Harden, is he's struggling to get PG involved. He can get everyone else involved but he and PG haven't meshed.

Beardo got like 3 assists. He's going to have to get more people involved that that. <45>

That's an incredibly short sighted point to think that has anything to do with involvement of other players on offense. If the Clippers average 3 passes per play on offense that means Harden's first move isn't going to be an assist.

Harden tonight has called for screens multiple times, Kawhi has given them to him, then Kawhi rolled off and Harden created space and sent it and Kawhi has missed like 4-5 shots on that exact play. That happens because PG and Westbrick are terrible off ball when Harden is looking for match ups. They aren't doing their jobs.

It isn't 1996, guys pass the ball my man.

Luka looks like he could go for 70 tonight. He will probably ride the bench the entire 4th Qtr.

Luka could already have had a bunch of 70 point games, but he's sat out plenty of fourth quarters.

He was on absolute fire in the third.

Haven't looked at the stats, but his 3pt accuracy seems to have levelled up this season.

Honestly I'm glad that at least one person has Harden's back.

I think it's because he isn't doing those step back 3s as much. From what I've seen he's getting open looks instead of being on the ball for 18 seconds. I haven't watched all their games. I just check in and out with a bunch of games when I can.

I'm indifferent to it, I just watch the games from an analytical perspective.

I don't understand why the Flerps don't start HardCAN and bring Westbrook off the bench to lead the 2nd crew. That seems to make way more sense than starting both of them.

Yeah it hasn't been the stagnant offense Luka show this year, that's why this year has been looking encouraging.

They're trying to stagger them to get the most out of having someone on the court at all times. Westbrick just can't play as a role player. He's too dumb. He's used to being able to run through guys and force plays. He can't even do that to second stringers anymore. He has zero idea how to delegate on a more complex offense.Wesbtrook already doesn't watch tape, when he was in Houston Harden would routinely spread the floor so he could play his HS level game. He's now beyond washed.

Edit: oh, and if you notice early, Westbrook is so bad off ball Harden only wants to run the PnR in the low post with Zubacs. If a defender reads it for the double team Harden flares out and Wesbtrook just sits in the same fucking spot. That's shit coaches yell at middle schoolers about. It's the same shit LeBron hated last year.
 
Brian Dameris thinks Harden chose to get Dwight, Westbrook and CP3? That he chose D'antoni?

None of that is true lol

The Rockets didn't change their schedule for Harden either. What a clown.

Notice that he can't criticize his actual play, it's why he's got that position. So mongloids can listen to him and think about anything except the game of basketball.
