Or his spectacular effort in trying to get back in transition to prevent a layup by Klay.

That was pitiful. He didn't even try to swipe at the ball, he just moved out of the way. The team he is on will never will a championship or anything to it, like have some heart man. It is pathetic to watch.

Someone needs to slap Harden upside the head. Does he not realize how pathetic he looks on the basketball court?

He is really lazy on defense.

 

[Montalban]

Oh he's a great offensive player but his demeanor and defensive effort is terrible. At least act like you care about something. Dude looks like he'd rather be anywhere but the basketball court sometimes.

I agree 100%. Rumor has it he wants to re-join his boys in OKC.

How bout when Barnes went right past him for a dunk?

 

[Montalban]

Iguodala came up big in the first half. His 14 points were what one would expect from Steph Curry.

They're keeping it hush hush for now..but I'm hearing the NBA may consider postponing thursday's warriors/rockets game 3 in Houston for a day or 2, due to the massive & tragic flooding, unless the conditions and health concerns improve before then. It's currently being monitored around the clock by local, state & federal officials.

 

[CitySushi]

My only guarantees were that Curry would not play in game two and that if he was out for the entire series, they would not win the series.

So you can say all the dumb shit you want, but as long as you didn't guarantee it, it doesn't count? I get it.

Its not dumb. Most people believed that the Warriors would lose a close one without Curry.

I was wondering if something like that was in the works. It will give Curry more time to recover. I'm not sure though that we'll see him again in this series, maybe even the playoffs, Ankles, especially weak ones like Curry's, take a long time to heal.

Dude..just stop. Don't even go there.
This isn't even about Curry at this point.

C'mon Man!

The biggest problem is how can you garner the respect of your teammates when you blatantly disrespect their hard work and effort when you could give two shits.

Dwight has done a lot of dumb stuff in his career, but I have zero fault in him for wanting to leave the Rockets. Dwight is basically an afterthought because of the way Harden plays on both ends of the court. Howard is expected to play defense, grab rebounds, but never touch the ball on offense? That's insane.

Question Howard all you want, but he's still a great center when given opportunity.

 

[trojanfan12]

Houston plays no defense especially "fear the beard". Like he is absolutely awful at defense, it's pitiful

Not really sure that's fair. How can you say he's awful a something no one's ever seen him try to do?

Harden was a somewhat decent defend in OKC. That's when he was still hungry and trying to make a name for himself. The big thing here was that's all they really need from him.

Then take that shit off the basketball thread that is about this series.

keep on contradicting yourself and looking foolish....it's what you do best.

I feel sorry for Bickerstaff. Getting these guys to play together has gotta be like herding cats.

No kidding. I feel for him too. I'm not saying they should be contenders, but they sure as heck have a lot more talent than to be backing into the playoffs as an 8 seed. They should have been no worse than challenging the Clippers for the #4 seed.

Barkley made an interesting point about the players not listening to the coach. He said "I guarantee you that in Rockets practices he's not telling them, OK James, you take the ball and dribble around for a while then and hoist up a shot and the rest of you guys just stand around and watch, but in the games that is exactly what they do." That tells me he is not getting through to them or else they just don't care what he says.
