    If teams trapped us from the start, we'd be screwed.

    Harden plays so weird in these situations.

    • inbound pass he doesn't give the inbounder a target to pass too.
    • Doesn't call for the ball when it's time to bring it up.
    • Tries to take on a quadruple team instead of passing.
    • Doesn't give the passer a target when they are trying to pass him back the ball.
    • He just doesn't move at all.
    • Passes the ball into peoples feet

    It so strange after a tremendous game.. shrug* Harden coasted to a finish..

    I'm not going to celebrate **** until the starters don't have to play 35-40+ minutes every game. You homers can be narrow-minded all you want. The starters should stop being ass-hats and realize that playing poorly will only extend the minutes.

    And had a 40 pt triple double, played 41 minutes and had to get back in the game after setting up 24 pt lead so Rockets could win comfortably by double digits.

    Harden gets a win without EGo and CP3.. MVP.

    The defense collapsed on Harden and made it tough. Have to have shot makers on the court with Harden to combat this. Green was hitting tonight, so was House. House should have had more minutes in the 4th in place of Tucker who is really struggling currently.

    that's fair. but they are different players. harden is a combo 1/2. kobe was a straight 2. they both can do things the other can't, and both unstoppable. kobe was taller, longer. so he could elevate easier on the 3, where harden step backs. maybe not surpassed. but equal. its debatable.
