What happened with Ryan Kelly?
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

This game was all about Harden's offensive prowess while facing inferior team/coaching.
During the first half, Harden shot regardless of whether there was any ball movement or not.
During the second half, the team mates adjust to Harden and move the ball well before handing it over to Harden to score.
I like to see Harden at least wait for Howard's inside game and the ball movement to be established before shooting his hearts out esp. facing tougher opponents in the future.
As for the defensive end, T. Jones, D. Howard and J. Lin did fantastic job and I have no gripe over any particular players yet... well, I'll just leave it at that for now since we just won the game. lol

Neither TJ nor Brewer could even get on the floor and then suddenly they're starters...McHale has the strangest rotations...

harden was great, but lin was awful in that 1st half...lin didn't have a good game really. probably his worst game overall this year.

Lin actually had a good first half. It was his second half that sucked as he only scored, I think 4 points, and had 3 TOs. He had a couple TOs when the game was pretty much out of reach...seems he gets lazy at times on the court. He needs to work on his focus. I think he tends to get too excited. Tries to do too much.

And I don't know if I'd call that his worst game...I forgot what game it was, but there was a game when he had just gotten back from injury and he was just awful. Even I was screaming to pull him out. This last game, he went 1/5 from 3, and missed 3 free throws. Still had 13 points...if he had one or two more of those threes and a couple free throws, he could have sniffed 20pts and people would say he had a good game.

Harden was awesome...his shots were falling, he was passing the ball. His defense still sucked though (Swaggy P had 25) but on offense, he looked like the best SG in the game.

This is McFail's problem. No fun to watch iso game.
