    When Harden sucks he takes it to another level. I am hoping he can redeem himself in the second half. The rest of the team is playing well enough to win. Harden needs to step up and shake off whatever it is that has him out of sorts.

    Harden does not make even 1 shot at 1st half.

    Worst game I ever seen Harden this season.

    Down by 5 at the half with Harden shooting 0 from 10.
    Now, if you knew Harden was 0 from 10, you would think Houston was behind by 20 or more.
    It's half time. We got this! If Harden can play even a quarter of what he's capable of, we win by 10.

    Rockets down only 5 at the half playing like **** with the jazz throwing everything at them at home. I will take that, because it could be a hell of a lot worse.

    Harden is really playing badly, making really bad decisions the whole game. Capela needs to wake up and stop playing T-Jones like defense. Play more aggressively and make better decisions, its still possible for us to steal this one on the road

    I'm just not even sure what you're talking about. They'll adjust for the second half but Harden literally didn't make a basket and we're only down by 5. If we weren't playing to win we should be down by 20+ with Harden having such a bad night.

    He hasn't played well. He is a bit hesitant understandably. He is still hustling on D. And if he's as great as I think he is he will pop the F off in the 2nd half.

    Need to get Capela involved.

    Too much one-on-one.

    Utah played their best half, harden was a non factor and we're only down by 5. He will regroup for the second half.

    Somebody wake Harden up, he is MIA. Cue popular reaponse "he is tired". Personally he is playing listlessly or hungover.

    Capela? Is he even playing? No wonder MDA Sat his .
    Down 5 halftime, should be down 12.

    This is a bad argument. It's hard to step up when his usage rate is so high. When a large part of your offense is 0-10, that takes a massive hit to the team.

    He gets too easily frustrated when teams start handchecking and pressing.

    Was Harden out late last night at a Utah strip club?
