    Don't give me that. Paul was shooting like garbage tonight, and we were looking just fine in the 2nd through 4th both with and without Paul. Orlando was not a threat, and we have GS tomorrow after flying across the entire country. If there was any game we could have and should have rested Paul with Harden out, it was tonight. But MDA is a ****ing pansy with his rotations.

    Seriously, I get that the Rockets are amazing this year and we have a lot to be positive about, but do not defend MDA's decision here. It was absolute garbage.

    Rockets should be a better defensive team without Harden, and we saw that tonight, holding them to under 100. We lose a crap load offensively without James and thankfully GG was able to go off tonight. Probably not something very sustainable but that's fun to see.

    I don't have a ton of experience with them other boys but @Reeko has always been a solid poster and if you check his post history I think you might fine some constructive criticism of harden

    Given that Morey is all about numbers, and he knows how these minutes affect the longevity of seasons and of careers, I have almost zero doubt he's on my side, but there's only so much even he can do... Otherwise I would hit DM in the DM RN.

    MDA is going to get Chris Paul hurt again. Probably tomorrow.

    Didn't get to watch until the second half. Been here most of the time.
    And YES, I saw your annoying taunting of James Harden and real Rox fans.

    I want our team to win regardless of the situation. And YES, I believe we are a better team WITH James Harden.
    I have no problem with ANY 'W' (unlike YOU. You whine when we are thrashing teams WITH Harden)
    GO ROCKETS. GLAD WE WON!

    Harden beliefer chiming in

    Saw second half

    Kinda hard to pay attention with a needy 6 yr old so I usually catch the rerun into the late evening

    Lookin forward to seeing Greene go off

    Liked his interview at end of game

    The holy ghost be with him

    I really think it's pretty simple... when Harden has to do EVERYTHING on offense, he becomes a bad defender.

    There is thread after thread about how horrible Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon, And PJ Tucker are. More about how Tarik Black doesn't even deserve to be in the NBA.

    Yet we are wondering why Harden had to take it upon himself to run the offense...

    I am fine with Paul playing tonight. This was likely 1-1 back to back. An 0-2 back go back would have been a disaster.

    Sit him tomorrow if he needs rest. Screw the warriors

    Talented doesn't equate to intelligent.
