    Yep. This moment is among the greatest in Rockets history. McHale is a ballsy MF for leaving Harden out the whole 4th. I take back every nasty thing I've said about you McHale. Can we be friends????

    The 4th quarter run was because of defense and team ball - Harden plays no defense and holds the damned ball.

    Harden should have gone to school in that 4th quarter because THAT is how this team can win.

    I can't believe he didn't put him I'm. I get why he didn't, but wow...that's risky. If we lost, I can't imagine the heat he would have received. Maybe he was really that sick. The guys on the court did have it going though, so I get it.

    Jeebus Christ, DD. Just enjoy the win.

    Hate Harden some other day (and many other days, I'm sure).

    He's a key part of the team and he's sick as a ****ing dog.

    GO ROCKETS!

    Lol. This isn't RealGM. Or second grade.

    Thread worked. Sarcasm and anti-hijinx for the win.

    We needed a lot of energy to come back and a guy with the flu isn't going to give you any, we were just overplaying everything in hope and the clippers disappeared up their own ass rather than punish the overplays.

    This is so true, I know Harden is brilliant sometime, but his holding ball thing kills the flow and freeze teammates, this is one thing I hope Harden is mature enough to to change.

    DD's point is valid, albeit not the best way to motivate. Can't be fire and brimstone like Kobe. Not all players respond to insults and degradations.

    Harden does need to learn to play both ends of the court. If he's not physically or mentally capable, he's a net negative to the team.

    We're all Rockets fans here and want the best for our team. No need to attack each other.

    Harden moves the ball and half the board says he disappears and is not himself. Harden plays iso hero ball and half the board says he needs to buy in.

    It all comes out in the wash. You do you, James.
