Patrick Beverley spent 38 minutes on the floor. He didn’t have a bad game, scoring 19 points, adding 5 assists and 4 steals. However, the Rockets are simply a worse team when he’s on the floor next to Harden than when Lin is.
而不是放任Harden而賠上整個隊伍
The main reason the Houston Rockets have lost two consecutive home games? James Harden getting too much credit, freedom and power from Kevin McHale. At the expense of Jeremy Lin and team basketball that is proven to work much better for the Rockets, not to mention an attitude of selfishness spreading through the team, running the promising start and making it seem like adding Dwight Howard doesn’t change a thing.
也很實際的點出Harden 真的有些問題(受傷? 還是大頭症?)
Where does this end for the Rockets? Harden isn’t going to be scoring 12 points too often, but his tendency to block out everyone else and cost his team too many possessions on both sides of the floor, with foolish shots followed by lazy defense and foolish personal fouls isn’t going away anytime soon. Not as long as Kevin McHale keeps up the attitude of letting Harden do what Harden wants, and F’ the rest of ‘em.
