    if he continues this torrid pace for next year, i foresee a 6th man of the year award for him. he absolutely destroyed kevin love.

    great comeback win. the cavs are poorly coached, especially without lebron on the floor. love and irving are liabilities on defense and neither are leaders. they have terrible execution down the stretch (remind you of anyone??). don't want to put too much stock into this win because it's the cavs, but hopefully this team uses it as a morale booster.

    every game from here on needs to be a win. chicago is also poorly coached with no true leader and they're slumping. dallas can't play defense. OKC may rest players, and the rest are sub-500 teams. if they really want it, i believe we have a chance to get the 6th seed and an outside shot at the 5th. really feel like we can end this season on an 8-game win streak.

    I do. And I also know that he is averaging fewer than 4 shots a game over the last 3 games. At no point in time this entire season has he taken so few shots over a 3 game stretch when he has actually played in the game. He should be able to get 3-4 shots a game just off of put backs and offensive rebounds! I can't be the only one seeing this...

    Never said I was a coach but I can see how Howard is not mentally in the game or with the team. The guy is doing what he has done in the past when he wants out.

    I mostly happy we didn't give up... You have to have the heart of a champion before you can be the champion.

    I feel like...no I know and it was really smart. Credit to Harden for conserving his energy so he could go beast in the 4th. It was a smart way to play superstar vs a team with their superstar sitting. It was like a crafty race. Push it in the final lap.

    Howard looked like he was hustling and trying in the 4th, which is a vast improvement from last week.

    It kind of looked like he was ashamed to mail it in with LeBron/ESPN watching.

    I think he saw that Capella was outplaying him (really) tonight and he had to show up in the 4th otherwise after the past few games the media (and CF) woulda murdered him.

    Well murdered him even more.

    I promise you Rockets would have way more people agree with him on Dwight. If you're watching, it's pretty obvious. And, EVERYONE, and I do mean EVERYONE comments on Dwight and his lack of effort at times...a network ? choose any network...TNT,NBATV, NBALP, the rec team coach. If you don't see it, it is because you don't want to.

    Difference is that last year's team was unremarkably good at finishing those games with some combination of making enough defensive plays and Harden's brilliance.

    This year, we've probably been in 15 games that we had a chance to pull it out but lost because of the inability to get defensive stops or a dumb decision from our players.

    Well then you should know if youre team is perimeter orientsted he wont be getting shots. If he doesnt make a huge fuss it wont change. If your team doesnt play inside out then of course he wont be gettng shots. When your game plan is focused around 3s you wont ne getting shots. Stop using what shaq says understand whats going on as far as the team and how it actually operates
