    Might wanna refresh your memory, Harden did play in that game that Brewer scored 51 pts.

    Er

    If you watch the games, Harden is usually being switched off his man & we ended up with a big guarding the perimeter...you'd think the coach on the sidelines would've maybe realised this after the first 2, or even the 3rd 3 pointer of overtime...but (frog sips tea...)

    Dwight had a 30+ pt 20+ reb game and they had nothing to say. Ernie tried to talk about Dwight's monster night TWICE and they ignored him.

    Harden screwed Dwight.. My gawd!

    He was solid last year. Come on now, although it's obvious he has regressed this season on both ends.

    Harden isn't going to fight through screens and picks. That isn't Harden. You are asking Harden to not be Harden.

    This is what I am trying to figure out. With Capela and Dwight the Rockets OBVIOUSLY want to the hacking rules to change. Why don't they exploit the **** out of it every time there is a great player like Deandre on the court? All they have to do is sub out Capela and 50% beats 40% on every night.

    But so many ppl would rather trade Howard and Ariza and whoever else instead of the cancer.

    Tom Thibodeau on Team USA had James Harden playing the best, most unselfish basketball of his career. Les and Morey have done ****ed themselves and the city of Houston by not hiring him. Someone else will probably beat us to the punch.

    Rockets may be the only team in the league that has to switch on everything

    When will it be time to start talking about moving Harden? I keep thinking he will revert back to MVP Harden but the more i hope the less effort he puts out there. smh

    If Howard plays like this every night he's the best player on the court...I didn't think he still had it like this. You can tell when Harden is engaged and when he's not in these games

    If the Rockets just fouled Deandre every time they passed the ball to Reddick we win. I would get Deandre ejected if that's what it takes for the refs to call the fouls too.

    J.B. needs to run some more plays to get Thornton better looks. He's our best shooter by far.
