    Huge game in the MVP race. Harden has to dominate and the Rockets need to win. Especially with OKC on the 2nd night of a B2B.

    Lock down everyone but Westbrook. Let him go one on one with Bev/Gordon all game, let him get his. Take advantage of Westbrook's probably obsession with making a statement here.

    On offense set an absurd number of screens for Harden, beat Roberson up with the screens Popovich style till he's exhausted.

    Rockets win by 15.

    Harden's best game of the year against OKC.

    Actually think we lose in a close one, WB puts up YUGE numbers, as does Harden. Media says Harden is a ballhog and plays no D

    I am willing to bet that this is what many media members are salivating over hoping this happens.

    Battle of the 2 main MVP candidates. Harden at home, if he wants the award he has to step it up and we have to beat OKC. I expect a great game, we never have boring games against OKC.

    Oh I wouldn't doubt it. Westbrook is the media darling for re-upping in OKC after Durant left. Harden is the selfish player ruining basketball by getting too many fouls and shooting too many threes.
