    Didn't he recently roll his ankle? Which game was that?

    I just looked it up, and it was Feb. 25th against the Clippers.

    It seems like Harden rolls his ankle once a year, and he goes into an extended shooting slump after.

    I wonder if that is the point where he started slumping...

    This entire season the entire Rockets organization and fans have been pushing him for MVP. He's got a major responsibility to bring up big numbers almost every game.

    This is the worst possible time for his MVP chances and I think he's already blown it considering how much Weatbrook and LeBron have stepped it up. All I want now is to get out of round 1 and hopefully to the finals.

    What is with this Oladipo guy. He lights us up every time and shuts down Harden. That's scary.

    I find it funny the moment TJ goes to the bench DMO has a good game. It's all in his head. Rockets win this game sooner if Harden isn't guarding Oladipo to start. Ariza and Brew did a great job defending after Harden was getting toasted all night... I wonder why Mchale waits so damn long to make that switch. Same thing with the Clippers.

    Pretty good basketball day for the Rockets, Spurs and Memphis lose.

    I just saw that, McHale looked icy about it. I'm guessing he was late or had a disciplinary problem. He looked pretty pissed.

    Guys, Harden played all summer. He was already hot when the season started, and he's tired now. He needs rest, but we can't afford it until the very last games of the season.

    AWWW TJ messin up!? He was probably late. Personally I think DMO plays better when he knows TJ is on the bench for some reason. I actually like that Dorsey is in there to get rebounds too. It's like DMO is more comfortable knowing he is the only post presence; there is no one to defer to.

    he is a very good talent, put 25 on the Cavs in a loss, he has averaged 20.8ppg his past 10 games

    not every time he lights us up, he only scored 8 points against us last season

    Sounds like Jones did something bad which he why he didn't get the start tonight. McHale still looked pretty pissed when the media asked.

    "Ask TJ about that. Ask TJ. He'll be able to tell you."

    Probably late.
