Hey he also had the first 450/150/100 month since the 60's. So yea go ahead and point out the turnover but you also got to look at the unprecedented production.

jor defensive liability and he set the NBA record for turnovers in a season. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills talking to some Houston fans. I live in houston, so I talk to a lot of them. But damn you guys are dumb when it comes to basketball
And defensively, he isn't great, but it also gets exaggerated how bad he is because he will have a lapse here and there that looks silly on a 20 second highlight.
There are other bad defenders like Damian Lillard who aren't generating offense at quite the level Harden is, yet people seem to ignore his bad D.

Are you saying they were purposely losing games because they couldn't be bothered to give effort?
But when you aren't going all out you're gonna lose some games to teams that are playing harder that you have no business losing to.Posted on 4/15/16 at 8:36 am to Boomshockalocka

Worst transition D in the league, transition D is all about getting back is all about EFFORT. The simply didn't care much at the beginning of the season.

Must every NBA thread end in a Rockets fest?

CC is a team who all season have been pacing themselves for once they get into the playoffs.

You're so far past trolling that any inkling of actual basketball acumen you could ever share is tainted

Their defense was atrocious and although it improved, it's still not good. You can see the lack of communication, confusion and poor rotations on the defensive end.
Effort was the only thing that could cover some of that up and allow them to eek out wins as it helped to mask their poor defensive execution.
They played much better the last few games when they would pressure the ball handler with a high double team to force him to pass. The high pressure defense was very effective. That was the first sign of life I've seen on defense all season.

You calling a CC series win over GS in here?

Warriors in 7 per Boom
They lost 9 games all year...will lose 3 to Clutch City

1 turnover is not the difference between winning a title and not.

I see.
I think the Rockets will in fact get at least 1, maybe 2. But 3 or 4, not a chance in hell. Will be interesting to watch them implode when the series is all but over. Should be an interesting off-season in Houston.
