Okay. Here’s the deal. If the Rockets want to win game five and not get eliminated from the playoffs, they have to do two things. One: let James Harden do whatever he wants with the ball. If he wants it, let him have it. If he doesn’t want it, don’t give it to him. Two: start Michael Beasley and try to get him to score forty. If not forty, then at least thirty. We know he’s capable of it and that the only reason it doesn’t happen on a regular basis is because J.B. “Jow Blob Dickerstaff” Bickerstaff is in way over his head and doesn’t know how to coach and his rotations suck.
Who else is going to help Harden win another game? Ariza? Motiejunas? Brewer? Howard? None of those guys can go nuts like Beasley can. Remember, Beasley once used waffle fries as a spoon to eat ice cream with. If that’s not the heart of a champion, it’s at least the heart of a player who can win a playoff game, I think.
