Tells you everything about what our coaching staff thinks of our young guys right now.

Delon is 26 years old.

Not a bad game plan tbh.

McCaw coming in to guard Harden was a good idea to test out. He has been great picking up PGs, but Harden is crafty and will get the benefit of the call.

Where the heck is Delon? Is he getting traded or what?

That was a joke replay shows he didn't even touch him, NBA becoming a joke of a league with manufactured stars, no one wants to see a flopping actor.

I agree with the manufactured stars description. A lot of people forget MJ literally got the **** beat out of him in multiple years by the Pistons in the playoffs and got no help from the league. He had to finally come back and BEAT THEIR ASS! That's what made him a legend, not having a bunch of ref assisted high scoring games. Harden is skilled enough that they shouldn't need to assist him out there. Pathetic.

Is Delon not playing due to a trade?

Gordon and Tucker drilling 3's. :banghead:

Limit Harden to a 20 point 2nd half and we should be good, I don't expect the rest of their team to keep this level of play up.

Need to fix defensive rotations, Pascal and Serge keep messing up

If Kawhi got the calls that Harden gets he'd be dropping 40 points a night as well

Houston is killing us on wide open threes. We need to start making wide open ones on our end.

the nba is a joke, they make their money of stars and this is how they create them. go watch durant and how he gets the whistle its embarrassing

I think games like this show that Ibaka and JV cannot handle when teams go small. JV is not playing but he is not built for this type of NBA. Need to find a guy that is a PF/C hybrid who can board and be physical inside.

Still, awful call on McCaw.

They're working their asses off - it ain't luck.

If people want a reminder of what elite NBA defense looks like look no further than how Danny has played harden using his hips with perfect movement.

That tape should be taught at basketball academies the world over.

Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using RealGM mobile app

they're doing the right thing but they have to cover the corner 3s even when harden penetrates. tucker steps up; others, not so much.

problem is players like that are very rare

WTF is Delon not playing is he in the doghouse?

Ibaka has been brutally slow this game, i swear he go beat to the ball at least 10 times and many were O rebounds.

Lowry gets too much money to not be able to score the basketball.
