ATL - Cleveland Ave.
Harden tryna shoot 100 3s and missing. Westbrook, being Westbrook and stealing other better shooters 3s and attempting one for himself to make them lose. Yep, not rocking with this year's Rockets.
PJ Tucker been passing up 3s and shooting worse than Russ from 3 for the past two weeks. Hell-- he was 1-4 this game. You'd be shytting on Russ is he shot 1-4 on 3s.

Harden and Westbrook on the floor together is just bad defense. Like if a team makes the extra pass, between them two, they will not rotate after the extra pass and their will be a effortless open shot on the perimeter with no real close out. It’s been a big issue during this spell. It’s like they expect the role players to just put in the extra defensive effort on defense for them. That’s bad leadership.This is where we miss the leadership of cp3.

Their window might be over.
It is. Harden's and Russ' contract don't allow better shooters and they got a few old centers eating up salary and not playing.
Unless they make a trade, it's gonna get ugly quick.

That was my biggest concern for them. I wondered if they'd be willing to take a step back on offense in order to exert more effort on defense. Similar to what I wondered about Lebron who started the season doing just that even though he's slowed down defensively of late. Harden has been killing it offensively but why. The team would be better if he's not trying to do everything and making them more consistent defensively.
