    I also heard SAS say the following:

    “Unless Yao can stay healthy, Carl Landry is big off the bench and Artest stays out of trouble they got no shot this year, especially if Van Gundy keep slowing the game down”

    For those who dont think we run any plays, this quick two minute vid of what we did to the Lakers was pretty awesome.

    I thought the best of player of this team is a fat lazy zero defense scrub who only produces turnovers and is inefficient with the basketball?

    Harden had a great game - but why cant we play smart team basketball for an entire game?

    I'm sorry for being 'that guy'... but if people are gonna complain when Harden blows games by playing hero ball down the stretch - why are so many giddy when he does it and doesnt blow it?

    We had some nice team runs throughout the game... guys were involved, engaged and performing... then that went out the window when James returned...

    James came back in with approx 5 mins left in the 4th... from that point, with the exception of a Capella tip in (off a Harden miss) - nobody else got a shot... it was the epitome of ballhogging....

    4:57 James Harden enters the game for Chris Paul 104 - 109
    4:43 shot clock turnover 104 - 109
    4:34 James Harden offensive foul 104 - 109
    4:34 James Harden turnover 104 - 109
    4:04 James Harden makes free throw 1 of 3 106 - 110
    4:04 James Harden makes free throw 2 of 3 106 - 111
    4:04 James Harden makes free throw 3 of 3 106 - 112
    3:40 James Harden makes 30-foot step back jumpshot 106 - 115
    3:12 James Harden makes step back jumpshot 106 - 118
    2:41 James Harden misses 30-foot step back jumpshot 108 - 118
    2:40 Clint Capela makes tip shot 108 - 120
    2:18 James Harden makes driving floating jump shot 108 - 122
    1:35 James Harden misses 30-foot three point pullup jump shot 111 - 122
    1:00 James Harden makes free throw 1 of 2 111 - 123
    1:00 James Harden makes free throw 2 of 2 111 - 124
    39.8 James Harden makes hook shot 111 - 126
    0.0 End of Game

    Kudos to Harden for working the stat line.. and I'm delighted to get the win - esp over Bron and the Fakers - but this is the behavior that bites us in the a** (like game 5 vs Spurs)...

    People wanna get all pumped over a 50 pt trip dub... but it aint about one game - at least it shouldnt be...

    Go ahead and flame me... but I'd like to see long term team success - rather than single game grandstanding... and as I said, this is the kind of behavior that kills us at inopportune times...

    PS: Also no utilization of using the shot clock to ensure the win...

    Get a life and it’s obvious as day you are a genuine hater jackass. Who did you want to shoot it when he was hot and the rest of the other notable scorers on this team like Paul and Gordon are struggling ?

    Also that’s what superstars do they take over games when it’s time to take it over . Sound like a YOF/LOF troll

    Why you gotta be all rude, man... was I disrespecting you?

    Look people all b**** n moan when Harden goes into this mode and it dont work out... I'm jus sayin - here's the same deal - and it did work out - if you wanna celebrate it - fine... but its Russian roulette...

    As usual, somebody has to come and 'white knight' for Harden and get to the name calling - rather than putting on yer big boy pants and actually consider what I'm saying...

    and I've been a Rox fan since the days of Moses Malone... I'm not happy with the occasional Sportscenter highlight - I want a championship! So why dont you shove yer LOF/YOF crap where the sun dont shine!

    Can we declare Chris Webber an honorary Rocket? Every time he's on the broadcast crew, I feel like I'm watching the game with a friend.

    He definitely crossed Reggie territory for me personally after yesterday's game.

    I can tell you for a fact he has not been the biggest fan in the past. Now begrudgingly accepts him.

    You just said essentially, 'Harden saved the day but I don't like it.'

    You sounded like a hater. I'm proud of the guy for calling you out even though I prefer you as a poster on this site. Who ***** on the hero that just saved the day? This is what championships are made of: players stepping up.
