    I watched game 2 and I watched the third quarter of last nights game and thats not MVP. We won't win a ring this year unless he gets cookin and cp3 plays with a chip on his shoulder.

    This seems about right from how they played.

    I've really half-assed watched all the games because the Astros have playing simultaneously. Rockets better not lose anymore games this series though if they/we expect to beat GS. No more nail-biters either.

    I guess MDA is crumbling too because he's echoing some of the things I've said.

    you high on something? when do you think Towns, Butler, Teague, Rose gonna shoot a combined 60% from the arc again

    they got lucky 1 game

    we got complacent 1 game

    butler scored 28 in 1 playoff game and that's his best

    that 28 points is only harden's average this playoffs

    He isn't crumbling. He just is saying they didn't play with enough effort. There is a difference between citing breakdowns and citing the sky is falling at the first sign of adversity which is the gist of knee jerking.

    you a genius who could have thunk the wolves were hungrier and luckier while rockets weren't even trying to win game 3

    why is that crumbling though?

    Because someone said we were crumbling fans but MDA is saying a lot of what I was saying. Except the trade Harden part, though I was mostly joking. I do wish he would play with the energy that AD played with.

    Rockets barely won Game 1.

    This series needs to end in 5 with two more convincing victories.

    even if harden scored MVP level 35 pts and 9 assists we still lose

    the whole team was complaced

    while minny was the hungriest team that night after 14 years on no POs appreances.. and got extremely lucky shooting close to 60%, double of their shots made in the reg season from behind the arc

    I disagree, a more efficient harden and a more determined harden means we win last nights game. harden is unstoppable when he's clear headed and motivated. the problem is we rarely see him like that in the playoffs. its not just harden chris paul needs to play focused every game. it starts with those two.

    so saying the rockets weren't even trying to win was "crumbling"?

    that's actually a good thing

    LOL at another never harden fan guess who is scoring AND assisting AND winning more than Harden in this years playoffs?

    We're not beating GS if we don't crush this series.
