    I don’t get why Harden doesn’t just stop and take a mid range jumper when they sag off. It’s probably more efficient than a floater.

    Harden a +10 and Capela a +14.

    The entire starters are +

    The entire bench is at least -5 each.

    Mitchell is in his second yr, Harden is an al time regular season great and the reigning MVP. I ain’t worried about Mitchell.

    The Jazz are just playing him perfectly since nobody can score. Harden has one guy on his back and Gobert in front of him. They'd still close on that shot. I think we have to play faster.

    Stop confusing dominant defense with bad basketball.

    That and Harden is picking up his defense. He D'd up Mitchell one on one and Mitchell had to pass out of it bc he couldn't get anything on Harden.

    Too bad GG is a terrible defender. Think you need a chucker from the bench to keep Utah defense honest. Think that's what worked in games 1 & 2

    I refuse to think the Jazz defense is soo good to completely stop him, but they have been definitely able to make him feel uncomfortable in playing where he likes to play and making the plays he usually makes, he's the only one who can pull himself out of it though.

    Mitchell is a 2nd yr come out of nowhere talent.
    Harden is the reigning MVP and a superstar in this league.

    I agree with Calvin.

    They need to play faster, and get harden some more transition buckets.

    It starts with harden pushing the tempo and not walk the ball up every possession.

    If this is how the Rockets are going to play in the playoffs, we can kiss that championship goodbye. GS don't play that mess.
