harden only getting better each season :wow: i can't believe my eyes he keeps getting better each year... Rockets just need a better four over Ryan only weekness i see...

I don't know what can be done at this point. It was too late to sell high on him after last season, nobody wanted him this offseason. I vented about it before but it's frustrating that we got 80 million tied to this guy. We're so close in talent and that 4 spot is glaring. I don't know what we could've got to fill that void with that 80milly but i wish we had done better than him.

Layup after layup > threes from 37% & 31% shooters

Gordon's been shooting terrible lately too.
It's a pick your poison scenario. Either trust in your man defense, or send a help defender and CP3 or Harden will find the open man. There wasn't much else the T'Blazers could've done - Lillard's mobility was limited, McCollum had dead legs, and the Rockets forced their bigs to defend Harden/CP3 on the perimeter.

Blame Stotts for not sending out a lineup that matched theirs.

Gordon must be playing though some sort of injury but his play ain't a good look, especially when you see what Lou is doing in LA. But I think it's a contract year for Lou also
Gordon just needs to calm down. He's great when he keeps it simple, like quick dribble move drives, but sometimes he be hyperventilating with the basketball and he can't dribble well enough for that shyt.

And even tho he made that 28 ft three late, that's part of the problem I have with him and Ryan Anderson. They stay taking these no no no yes threes from sugarland

the only chance houston has at coming out of the west is

1. warriors injury to one of the big 4
2. best record in the west (meaning houston will need to win 70+ games to achieve that)

Rockets need to trade for a 3 and D 4 and i can see them give the warriors a fight
