    Harden had one of the better games for someone who shot so badly. He was doing a great job unleashing alot of fast breaks with his play making and making outlet passes. Controlled the pace well and he was great on defense. He kept his head in it eventhough his shot was not falling but he looked active all night.

    CP3 was amazing. Just amazing . loved his game and was back to playing aggressive.Gerald was amazing and i think the unsung hero was NENE and his amazing post defense on Towns. He looked like Nene we love.

    Even without Hardens normal scoring contribution it was great to see the depth and others contributing big time.
    CP3, Green and Capella were nasty!
    A beautiful thing to watch.

    I know it's harsh but 5 points as the best player on a team. He is young but he should think about that and use it as motivation going forward.

    Game 2 is the game that Thibby would want to quit. KAT shooting 3s and their players playing the outside game, Minny is finished. Only Minny crowd can give them a game at best.

    Zhou Qi's shot was a little icing on the cake.

    Somebody needs to start feeding him some good ole Texas BBQ daily, with all the trimming, just to help fatten him up quicker. Uh Drexler, I pick you for that one. Nene, why don't you give him your muscle up work out tips and mentor him for us? Thanks guys!!

    I thought it was beautiful. The defense was incredible and they sustained it all night, even in the 4th quarter when they had this game in hand. Imagine how good they'll be on that end of the floor when Luc returns.

    It was a pretty cool shot. If Joe had some lean muscle/stamina and Yi's athleticism, he would be a regular playoff contributor right now. Go Joe Go! Keep on working hard!

    He goes through these slumps. He'll have a streak of cold shooting nights followed by a streak where he can't seem to miss. The good news is we have Green to offset those now. And a few of those misses BTW in Games 1 and 2 rimmed out. So it's not like he's throwing up bricks.

    That version of CP3 makes Houston the favorite to take down the Warriors.

    He is coming back from an injury. There is no doubt that he is the 3rd best scorer on the team when he gets going.
    I hope he will have a good game 3.
