[Video] James Harden burns Chandler Parsons, makes defensive plays to beat Mavs

Fox is absurd. Parsons had both feet on the floor for less that 0.1 seconds.

Notice McHale at 0:13 waving for the attack rather than calling a time out

 

Rick Fox is an idiot. He doesn't even have the rockets making the playoffs.

 

Jim Foley loves it!

-my favorite part of the video.

I agree about Jim and Gene, they have a special nostalgic place in my heart, but I think Craig Ackerman is doing a great job as Gene's replacement.

no one can replace 30+ years of magic in two or three seasons.

essentially he's a one man crew with a guy back in the studio chiming in.

Gene Peterson groomed Ackerman for almost a whole season to be his replacement, and Craig's just getting started.

 

Gotta give it up for Harden. I think he can get the MVP this year. I'd rather have him than even Lebron at this point.

 

Guy was sheltered and pretty much f'd up as Shaq as they knew they didn't play a fair series against Sac in the 2002 conference finals.

 

One of the loudest crowds I've heard in a minute when that roll went in

 

That ending made everything OK again. Harden is the new Mavs killer.

 

Pretty cool right after the final buzzer when Harden took the microphone from the announcer and thanked the crowd.

 

Stop it.

 

clyde pissed me off with his nonsense when dallas was making their run.. it was 81-80 rockets and we fouled on a 3 point shot. they came back from break and theyre breaking down what happened and clyde added his 2 cents "the rockets are still in the lead though." with dallas at the line shooting 3 freethrows.. clyde is so bad..

 

Don't see how it could be viewed as a charge on Harden. He didn't lower his shoulder or initiate contact. He was coming in on an angle to avoid Parsons and Parsons moved into his path with his body colliding with Harden. Definitely blocking foul

 

Just wondering this seems to be a perfect situation for his euro step why did he choose not to do it

 

He saw Chandler scrambling and figured he'd get the call. Again, Chandler had no chance, once he started side stepping so quickly. No time to stop and set himself.

 

As much as I hated seeing them blow that 18-point lead and play absolutely dreadfully on offense in the 4th, you have to admit it's poetic to have the game-winning play be Harden scoring against Parsons.

 

I noticed that too. Seemed like mild respect.

 

:grin::grin::grin:

 

lol

Because Harden is awesome and knew what was needed to send a message.

 

Harden did say in his interview he saw CP backtracking, so he decided to drive strong into the lane.

One thing you can say about Harden he knows his rules. Good thing we had a good reffing crew at the game last night.

Remember they also gave us back those two DMo FTs. How come our own table officials and team officials missed that DAL foul count?

 

lol

Everything geared toward that moment in NBA history. I keep coming back to watch this video...it was beautiful..a perfect moment to me.

Life is good again in Rocket land.


Thanks Cuban!

 

Harden's court awareness, vision, and bb iq is off the charts. He has been utilizing them on his offense and it looks like he's just beginning to apply them in his defense
