    Harden was in when the Rockets were up 18 and then he went Drunk. The game should have been over then but he was walking it up and turning it over. Rockets should have won by 40.

    Everyone complaining harden passing it off in the last couple of minutes but would have murdered harden for repeatedly shooting when he isn't shooting well for the game. He gave ariza and Gordon wide open 3s which they normally drain in the last minute and then off course the dish to nene to secure the win

    Stop being homers and be objective. Most media personalities will see this game and conclude Russ is a better player, period.

    Nene made the difference in this game. OKC pushed us until time expired. I think if they'd had an extra second or two, we'd either be in OT or dealing with a loss. We really, really needed Capela. Badly.

    I know. My point is there was a definite foul on that play.

    Russ doesn't care about losing. He only cares about his individual stat line.

    All Russel is doing is taking all the shots. An argument can be said for both sides. In the words of BOB "It's about winning"

    Harden said it was a read but then said they (coaches) expect him to make that kind of pass so I'm sure D'antoni let everybody know all the different options in that formation and Harden ultimately decided on Nene. I def want to hear what MDA has to say about it. It was an unbelievable play.

    Who cares if Westbrook had the better game. Did he win? Nope. I rather Harden hand out those sexy assists and we get the win

    Nene > Dwight

    And that's not even considering the massive differences in salary

    I swear we have gone from one of the dumbest teams last year to one of the smartest/poised. It's like Howard sucked up all that dumb and took it with him.

    Man, Nene with 2 HUGE FTs by the way!! If Dwight was in and he got that pass from Harden, Rockets going to OT.

    I still think Westbrook is much more lethal than Harden.
