    I thought they would have developed a Carsen Edwards, he was a known scorer off bench but prolly not.
    He is not wrong though about the bench.

    I don't mind the shots. He hits those a lot, too. The TO was the egregious play. To his credit he got the game winning steal and drive that resulted in the winning free throws.

    Overcome a horror harden game thanks to russ, Covington and Tucker. That’s the beautiful thing about this team now. It’s so balanced

    There was no need for the Rockets on the court to be discussing defensive assignments in that situation. All they needed to do was secure the rebound and the game was over. Also, most players try to quickly shoot a line drive off the rim before the opponent is ready in that situation, so it shouldn’t have caught any Rocket off guard.

    Only two guys who hit above 30% on 3s (except Russ who was 1-2) they were bad asses on D tonight and had some incredible rebounds and blocks. Whoever was on the RoCo train before the trade was 100% on the Mark he has been an incredible addition to PJ !

    Holy Shyte!!! Mad props to Brad. Some CFers can take a lesson from him.

    This was a heavyweight fight win.

    It already is. He got the steal, hit two game winning free throws and we leave Boston with a win.

    People just look for a reason to b****

    If a player played like ass all game but made the final shot is he considered a choker? If not just apply that scenario to james harden and be done with it.

    Harden did have mental lapse but he didnt choke the game away, he won.

    Our late 4th quarter defense was very poor. Harden's turnover and the complete lack of defense by Westbrook leading to the 3 by Smart got Boston back in the game. Russ is our MVP, no doubt but we need to tighten up in clutch situations.

    I agree with you. He made up for the mental lapse.

    I mind the shots because he clearly didn’t have his shot working tonight (7-20 at the time). After the first miss, I would have preferred that he attacked the rim.
