Muddafuccin Freeboundz... And Masked Up Beard In Da Bubble [19-20 Rockets Season Thread]

All good will was lost after games 5 and 6 last year. Not that he played horrible but the outcome was inexcusable, regardless. Part of me feels like '18 and '19 will haunt our fanhood forever as the apex of the Harden era. Game 6 last year in particular was rock bottom, moreso than anything that happened in the '18 series.

Something is off about Harden at end games I know he has a tall order of responsibility but when a game is there for the taking he lets us die more often than carries us in these games. Settling for bad threes point shots and I’m very diplomatic about the 3’s in nature

Yea.

I used to blame Pringles for everything, and I still don't like him or his philosophy, but ultimately he ain't putting a gun to James' head to take those stupid shots.

Harden's offensive decisions are his own. CP3 took mid range Js, Russ takes mid range Js. Nothing is stopping Harden from switching things up when the moment calls for it.

Of course not. Harden is the franchise player and best one on one player of his generation. Nobody telling him what he can or can’t do on offense. I was liking the lil post up he was doing in the first two games of the series but he went away from that. Sometime I think he has a secret incentive in his contract for three point attempts.

Harden was very well full of midrange and variety when McHale was here. MDA is the one that enabled Harden to have it programmed out of him.

Goin need a big game from Russ. Our last three close out games, CP3 stepped up big time. We need that killer instinct to help harden close out cuz let’s be honest...

Russ's recent playoff history involves getting killed, not doing any killing

He shows great agency but not all agency is good agency. Retro Sabo.

Harden again with a "he didn't play bad" game but the end result is unacceptable, regardless.

CP3 really about to close the chapter on us

Win your designated “home” game and get ready for LA

Nobody looked like they wanted to take a shot down the stretch.

And that’s some sad shyt when your two best players are from La and kobe fans

If rockets lose tonight, I’m ready to blow it up. Harden and Russ will never be move valuable than they are now. They’re both 31+. They’re too old to bring in a new coach and system to play in. Let’s just start over. It was fun. I enjoyed the ride. The harden era has been the time for me as a rockets fan despite frustrating times.

I honestly believe that Tilman doesn’t like this scheme anyway. I’m pretty sure he wants to bring in his own guy to replace Morey. He inherited him, not chose him. I knock he doesn’t Like the system or care for the analytics to the extreme that rockets oblige them.

I wouldn't blow it up. Westbrook was out 4 games and rusty when he came back. I also don't think they'll lose tonight. At least they better not. Some games are must win but imo this is a must not lose game.

Exactly. If Rockets loose tonight, BLOW IT UP!

Man I’m tired of the excuses. Even the reasonable one. It just seems like it’s always goin to be something.

Nut up or shut up time. This is the “home” game, so the home team wins it

 

[Playaz Eyez]

One thing about going to 7 games with OKC is there’s a chance that possibly knocked some rust from Westbrook. Going from Dort to Caruso/Rondo/Smith/Kuzma should make Harden and Westbrook foam at the mouth.
