    They were very high out, to the point of little significance.

    Harden broke down 3 players in the middle of the court, three times in a row...twice in the last minute.

    poor Barea. Sorry Harden simply ignored your presence.

    I replayed that part a few times just to hear the sound Lin makes when he hits the floor. For a Harvard grad he sure plays like a dummy... A crash test dummy. :grin:

    James is a beast on the penetration, he's probably as good as Wade is getting to the basket. I just hope they won't start calling that pushoff that Harden does

    I'd imagine it's not that hard to do when you're like 5 foot nothing.

    James Harden's performance in the 4th quarter was sublime.

    Not sure if anyone's mentioned it in this thread already, but Harden's first bucket of the 4th quarter came at the 11:00 mark or so. At the 6:19 mark, the announcers mention that the Wolves had done a great job on him since he only had 15 points. That means he went off for another 15 points in about half-a-quarter. This dude looks so bored scoring, you don't realize how fast he's racking up points.

    It's games like these that give me hope that Harden can thrive just as much in a half-court, grinded out system. On a night when the score's in the 80s and very little transition points to be had, Harden still managed to get his. If the Rockets do manage to get a post player and wants to slow it down, Harden can still be successful.

    Yeah... If you look, the score is 70 to 76. Harden goes on to score 15 of the Rockets last 17 points to win the game. Cool stuff.

    This is a quote from the Timberwolves fan forum over at realgm.

    "We had this game and Harden just took it from us like nothing. He did it like he just woke up, went to the fridge, took out some OJ and drank it."

    It is also my new sig, lol

    I have listened to a lot of different team announcers this year and there is a big difference in the quality and how they treat the opposing teams. Tonight they where pretty good about speaking nice things about Houston but I would still rather have listened to our broadcast anytime over the others.

    The #1 worse broadcaster so far this year has been Jon Barry. He is just bad to begin with, doesn't know the facts about the teams he is watching, then to top it off he hates the Rockets.

    It's nice to see McHale's big smile after the game. R.I.P. Sasha.
