    Running man challenge... okay
    To be fair this one did seemed like a travel coz he had the ball up in his hands but like the other guy kept saying the other times he does a step back. Too bad that this will stir the pot with another espn article or people calling Harden’s stepback a travel.

    Good win

    The travel was hilarious only because of the commentators. Greg to be exact.

    Anyhow, I'm hoping Morey brings in a few reinforcements.

    Insisted that harden traveled and that she and kg said Harden pretty much travelled on every step back.

    Harden’s 47 points and clutch play will be overshadowed by 1 travel stepback and 16 free throw attempts...

    Yes, the past few years are a good indication.

    Tucker quietly with 16 points. Thank God because we wouldn’t win if he didn’t get that, despite harden’s heroics

    Harden is definitely living somewhere in Rubio's head. He scared. If I was a Jazz fan and I saw that switch, I'd be just as mad as when I saw Clint switch onto Luka x3 in the last minute of our loss.

    Yea even Greg knew that. We all know anything Harden does will cause controversy.
    I did think he travelled here but not every step back. It’s been analyzed and over analyzed and point is he doesn’t travelled 99% of the time.

    I mean that 2nd to last step back did look like a travel. I hate they take that one moment in time and then attribute it to Harden's game.. It's freaking frustrating. This guy just put all of Houston and the surrounding area on his back with no rest (thanks MDA) and they still can't appreciate what they are watching..

    Kawhi travels on every post up. #neverforget

    Yea exactly
    All the time Kawhi always switches on his drives too and Lebron switches pivot all the time when he is posting yet we don’t here all the commotion like we hear it for Harden.

    Ok, holy F*CK James Harden! When he's hot and engaged, there's no harder player to stop in the league! And his defense is above-average too.

    I get that our offense was pretty shitty this game, but the team defense overall was good. There were a few lapses here and there, but I saw plenty of communication, switches on backscreens, and overall defensive consistency. Eric Gordon was excellent on that end, as he was hustling his ass off while being really important to the Rockets building that lead in the first half.

    Bench was meh, but Danuel House just had my "holy sh*t" block of the year so far. He didn't need to **** his arm so far back, but I'm sure glad he did.

    Cp3 was clutch. He's not washed up yet (and hopefully won't ever be as long as he's with the Rockets).

    I don't know if the Rockets are back back, but they're certainly trending upwards and James is playing like a god amongst men.

    And to the Rockets: PLEASE, PLEASE keep this same energy™ @DreamShook

    Chris Paul’s lack of production is starting to be a glaring issue.even his once automatic midrange game has gone by the way side. Harden can’t keep scoring like this forever Chris needs to at least be semi productive

    It was an obvious travel..but her saying that Hardens every step back is a travel is total garbage

    2.5 games out of the 4th seed. Take advantage, gotta take advantage. Can’t let 20 point leads disappear so often
