    same here, having said that, I guess morey and harden know better and triple doubles are perhaps important for building an image around league and better officiating and you dont win in this league without goodwill of the league and officials/officiating

    Are you with a straight face saying this team is better without a top 3 player in the NBA like Harden?

    Felton hit some tough contested three's and our defense went into cruise control allowing him some easy layups.

    But guess what, it didn't matter because the Rockets bomb squad (the bench) came in is diffused the situation.

    Yup, it's pretty pathetic.
    We drop 140 on a top 6 team in the NBA.
    I was at the game. 6 rows behind the Clips bench.
    I was all over D. Jordan. He's one of the few NBA players that I've seen that actually will let fans distract him.
    Paul Pierce looks old and sad. He left for the locker room with over a minute left in the game.
    Chris Paul is a b****. A little b****.

    We all cheered for Sam tho. Even the Clippers players were telling him to give more of a standing O when the Houston announcer called his name.

    Go Rockets.
    We are good. And I'll be back tonight to see us destroy the Knicks.

    I hear that mentioning Honey Nut Cheerios tends to work as a good distraction.

    I dont know if they have actually and literally sat and decided that or it is implied knowledge but yes its my guess why harden does it, but pls explain, i would really like to know why harden is chasing triple doubles sometimes even yelling at teammates if they dont let him get 'their' rebound?

    yes in some situations like 6th game of WCF 4th quarter

    playing harden is volatile proposal yes he may give you 20 points in couple of minutes on his sheer geniality but he may lose you 10 points on his slopiness and laziness in a matter of 60 seconds.

    you dont play harden in certain situations, ie when you have big lead and bench is playing well for the same reason you milk the clock and dont shoot quick 3 when you are up 15 with a 2 minutes to go.

    If you don't think this team is consciously trying to get Harden his numbers in a situation like today then you're crazy.

    The only reason Westbrook is being considered for the MVP is because of his triple doubles.

    I'm positive this organisation doesn't want a repeat of two seasons ago when their player was clearly the MVP - and it was the media narrative which lost it for him.

    It's not crazy to think the Rockets aren't aware they need media support for Harden to be named the MVP.

    Yeah, if someone hadn't watched the game that stat would seem weak from our starting center, yet Harrell was tremendous. It was one of those nights when the team as a whole rebounded very well, out rebounding the Clips 45-38, and our best perimeter players were madmen on the boards. Harden with 13, Bev with 7 (both are consistently excellent rebounders for guards, as everyone knows), Ariza and Gordon with 4 each. That's 28 of our 45 boards. Anderson, Harrell, Nene, and Dekker (tossing him in there), the only "bigs" who played significant minutes, combined for 13. That's Harden's total. How crazy is that? Aside from one Slipper run (and they are slipping), we dominated. Sure, their best players were out and we were at home, but we've lost games like this far too often in the past and we had one key player who was out, Capela.

    This is a special team and it's becoming a special season. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. After last year, it's like the light bulb has not only come on, but rivals the sun. Enjoy it, people. These seasons are rare.

    We had solid bench in 2014-2015 with Smoove, Terry(he was playing well) Brewer(was also playing well)and co but yeah this seasons bench unit surpasses anything we have had in years.
    Hot damn Someones not happy.
