    It's great to see Harden in top gear. I'm glad that EG gave a good shooting performance after a very long time.
    Keep up the good work, Houston Rockets!

    I'm just watching the replay now because I was working when the game was on and the refereeing in the third quarter is extremely suspect

    The refs weren't biting on those Harden trick plays where he initiates the contact with the defender's arm. Sometimes he has to know when not to do that though. Especially late in the 4th when it's a close game.

    I haven't seen any no calls on Harden that were that egregious, it was more the ticky tack crap that they were calling on the other end that was dodgy.

    The Nuggets did get into the penalty very early on in several quarters. But the Rockets were letting them drive into the paint and did commit a lot of fouls.

    I'd actually say it's more akin to Tom Brady getting coached by Bill Belichick.

    Rockets would probably have their hands full with Denver in a playoff series is what I'm thinking. They would probably squeak by.

    Harden "Droppin' a grumpy" on the Nuggets. That $hit is real!

    It seemed pretty suspect the entire game to me - completely in favor of Denver. Lot's a missed calls/no-calls.

    Really surprised that they didnt call a foul on the last play of the game - seemed to me like a lot of contact to me under the basket by Harden. No complaints from me tho! This game wouldnt have even come down to that last play if the Rockets would have gotten even 1 extra call the refs swallowed their whistle on.

    When it comes to rest, Harden has missed only one practice, the one after the All-Star break. D'Antoni will give his team the next two days off. So what will Harden do?

    "That's when I can rest," he said. "Take care of my body, cold tubs, messages, stretching and be ready to go [Friday]."    ​

    Watching the highlight video of Harden, it was amusing to see the Nuggets' bench's reaction to Harden's shots, especially Hibbert's (btw I had no idea he ended up in Denver, can't believe he doesn't even see any playing time these days).

    Too close for comfort once again! I hope the New Orleans game isn't another nailbiter!
