    Harden's floater is deadly.

    Almost always goes in.

    27 shots for Westbrook. That’s not what we want

    The amount of contact the Rockets are expected to absorb and not get a foul is unreal
    Meanwhile we get every ticky tack touch foul on the other end

    NBA refs are corrupt. This is a well known fact.

    This team is like a KO boxer, like Wilder.

    The technique is sloppy, it's not always right, it's not always pretty, but if the power is there they can beat anyone. The problem is when guys miss open shots they can lose to anyone too.

    They really do need to learn to realize when they are shooting ice cold and just get shots closer to the rim, just keep the scoreboard moving until they get hot again.

    When Harden is doubled, even though the rest is playing 4 on 3, they are not moving thus easy for the opponent to recover and defense.
    Players should have more movement as well moving the ball around when Harden is doubled.

    A lot of those are obvious fouls! Other than the period in the 2nd where he decided to shoot 5 midrange shots in a row and miss them he has been okay.
