    Harden came back in at the end of the third and never went out, he lost out on about 3+ minutes rest and it nearly cost us.....he was GASSED which led to those turnovers....

    Should have rested him a bit.

    Wouldn't be an issue if we had good backup..... but we're very limited when Paul and Gordon isn't out there.

    don't know how harden is doing it.

    no cp3, no ennis, no gordon.

    the rockets should be where the pelicans are right now.

    IMO, he physically and intellectually did everything he can to get the win considering cp3 and ego are out

    even cp3 can't give you 42 minutes of elite PG play everynight

    I love Harden, but if you say stuff like this after an unbelievable game like tonight, you are labeled a hater.

    Didn't watch the game. Did Harden drive in a lot to get 27 FTA attempts? That's an absurd amount. I need to watch the replay. That seems so ridiculous that a team would foul him that many times.

    43 points on 19 shots. Efficiency doesn't go hand in hand with Harden. LMAO.

    He was half interested in the second half. But still got the triple double in super size.

    How good is he!

    MDA panicked with the bench lost the lead in the 3rd. Rockets were still up 13 or 14 points.. MDA needs to believe in his damn coaching and rest Harden.

    Lmao. Really people are complaining. How many times a year does a player get double teamed as soon as he touches the ball. U do know thats super rare..not hard to deal with but catches u off gaurd cause its almost never done. Ive seen it done to curry. N guess what he had a lot of turnovers. Calm down people

    Yea
    And memphis had a lot of help from the refs. Good thing we had some cushion or the refs would have done what they did last season the first two games against Memphis.

    Memphis was just waiting for harden to sit in the 4th and if he would’ve they would’ve takened control of he game and gotten the lead. Harden is the mvp

    shrug* You can always pinpoint the time when Harden is too tired to function.. That is a problem. That's why it is imperative for MDA Harden to rest him NO MATTER WHAT.
