And the ability to come back when they were down big. I remember last year when Rockets were down 10-15 points I was never that worried because they would always fight back.
Was at the game. Just no energy in that building. Terry got going to help push the lead. That was fun. Building laughed him out when he passed to Ariza thinking he was in the game. Sometimes I wonder where Harden's head is with some of his passes. Eesh
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/43vOHCPifZo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> He's fun to watch when he isn't settling for jumpers although having both Capela & Dwight in there clogging the lane probably doesn't help.
Ya I don't get how anyone could hate on Harden tonight he was fantastic, was the closest he's looked to last season all year imo. I think there is ppl on this board that just don't like the guy, he could avg 35ppg on 50/40/90 shooting play good defense and ppl would still find something to rag on him for. He played like a top 5 player in the game tonight and it was fun, I was at the game right behind the bench. One thing I noticed is that these guys all like each other. Dwight and James were talking a lot guys were all laughing, I just don't buy that we have locker room problems like many think. We need better talent,sure. but the guys are together and that shows some kind of positive leadership from our two superstars. I like this team when they play like this, Should happen more often. This team could be very good we just need one trade to get a solid PF that can be a rotaion player. Capela at the PF is just not going to work. The offense flowed much better with a lot more space for JH to drive with Clint playing his natural position and tj or Harrell at the 4. I think it might be time to start tj again over Capela even though it pains me to say this. It's just a better lineup for our guards to get into the paint and great havoc like year past.
I see why Harrell is getting minutes... He contests every shot.. Was pissed at him cus he double dribbled on the last play and I thought the team total was over 103.5, then checked my account and say that I needed 102.5... Best feeling ever.
With this thread being only 27 pages long, the guys who get on Harden for everything must account for like 20 or so pages of posts...

At least he consistently hustles and boxes out. Wish I could say the same for Jones, although, to be fair, I was impressed when Jones dove on the ground going after a loose ball last night, plus he seems to be hitting his shots much better lately.
