    He had 1 minute of rest in the 2nd.

    And the team fell apart. It was bad... we looked like high school students running offense.

    It’s was smart to trot him back out there and trying to keep that cushion of a lead.

    He rested again in the 4th, this time using iso joe and the offense was like lost puppies still.

    We. Want. To. Win.

    Everyone.

    Every. Player.

    There is no such thing as tired anymore at this point of the season.

    MDA HASSSS to play harden so much because he has NO other option.

    A LOT of his turnovers came early. His late turnovers were NOT on him.

    If he is getting hacked and pummelled attacking the rim and doesn’t get the obvious foul call, it results in a “turnover”. Doesn’t mean it’s his fault or it was a bad play.

    He has to man, this is one moment to get a ring, you work your whole career for it. Unless that hamstring is ripped and torn he has to try it out.

    We just need him to spell Harden, that's all really.

    From the only quarter I saw, (the 4th quarter) he look tired. When he misses 3 out of 4 FT (the only ones he got for the whole game) you know he is tired.

    Freaking Warriors. Every year they catch a break with opposing team injuries

    Hey...why not publicly comment on the officiating ? What's the worst that could happen..a fine ? Like the officials are not going to continue to break it off in us like they've been doing ? Sheez.

    maybe.

    the whole second half was a reigning championship response to facing elimination at home... that and the refs started helping.

    the first half was pretty good ball. i'd bet we see more of the first half in game 7, then a little 3rd quarter warrior run... then its up to who's got the legs and execution in the 4th.

    He better play, it's the most important game of his career and for the Rockets in a quarter century. I don't care if he's just standing in the corner tugging his shorts. Give us 20 minutes Monday then come back in game 5 of the Finals to win the whole damn thing.

    One more time my keys to the series: win the turnover battle and Gordon out scores Klay.

    Game 1 nope nope loss
    Game 2 yep yep win
    Game 3 nope nope loss
    Game 4 yep yep win
    Game 5 yep yep win
    Game 6 nope nope loss

    Paul must play game 7 to help limit the turnovers.

    I'm ok with this.

    If I'm morey or MDA or tillman... go ahead, make the comment, pay the fine, and put the spotlight on the refs for game 7.

    D'antoni should've rested Gordon and Harden much sooner.

    If paul doesn't play you can forget about winning turnovers. but in their place, you can win rebounds. at the end of the day the idea is to have more possessions.

    MDA has to trust them or just let the lead slip because Harden can't do it tired.

    I agree.

    Harden was getting straight up annihilated under the basket time and time again, and the refs swallowed their whistles, except for the excessively over-acted fake fouls on Durant, etc. :mad:

    Man, also I wanna say Tucker looks like hes absolutely gassed, he and Harden left Klay open a lot man. I dont blame him though, dude is probably put in the most work for us on defense.
