    Remember when the Thunder drafted Adams and apparently Harden tweeted "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"?

    17 and 9 right now. Nene cannot keep up with him and Capela doesn't like to be bullied by him, Harrell just a little short :(

    as poorly as Harden played, WB not much better. Similar stat to Harden, but twice the turnovers

    Let's hope MDA leaves jim Haren in the locker room & James Harden comes to play.
    PBev and Dekker the bright spots so far with a little Gordon sprinkled in.

    Solid first half on the road, but like others, felt like we should have a bigger lead. So let's just wifi this in the 2nd half and walk out with the win.

    Harden has scored more against OKC than any other team in the league, historically speaking.

    Would be nice if we can blow this game open and rest for the Mavs tomorrow.

    I know the Mavs are imploding right now but they always play hard against the Rockets and always have someone step up for them to torch us..

    Granted that was sexy and the cold stare down, but it doesn't really mean sht when you miss the free throw right after. I mean it doesn't have the same impact, as a 3 point play. I think he failed to convert two 3 point plays, not really keeping count, cramming for my last final. Wish me luck, 7-10pm fml.

    And was this different in the last game in OKC? Can't remember what was the score at halftime...but Harden didn't play that well in the first half for sure, and it's not like he did better in the second...hope tonight is going to be different but i don't expect it tbh.

    His games are pretty much hit or miss.

    For every 35-40+ performance, he has a bad 15-22 point game.

    Right now, it looks like one of his bad ones again :(

    Harden isn't getting much help with all his teammates dropping passes and missing every damn layup... Jeez.

    Ryan Anderson looks TERRIBLE.

    All I remember is that we had a 10 point lead with like 6 minutes left and couldn't score at all while the Thunder kept hitting shots to get it closer and closer till they took the lead..

    Biggest difference so far is turnovers.. 7 vs 13, advantage Rockets.

    If that happens again 2nd half, we'll win regardless of shooting well from range..

    Harden has the uncanny ability to look like the least athletic person on the floor for periods of times.

    Looks like Westbrook will tie MJ's consecutive tri-dub record.

    maybe because he is. Harden has lost a lot of athleticism lately, many posters here notice that. Wasn't that bad when Harden was playing with Parsons and Lin, but since then he became a lot slower.
