    Yeah, i can agree with this in the end, just saying that when i see them trying those shots instead of just letting the clock work in those situations...eh...i'm like this [​IMG] lol

    Why would you concern a team clearly behind you that will drop a game on the standing?

    Just get use to winning and stop worrying like we are a mediocre team fighting for the last spot of the playoff.

    I'm so glad Harden makes sure to get every stupid triple-double he possibly can.

    Because even though he's clearly playing the best basketball in the league right now and his team is top 4 in the entire NBA, the media will keep sucking Westbrook's D.

    All because of the meaningless triple-double stat.

    So keep going for it Harden. Get every single one you can. He's going to need each one to prove he's the MVP.

    I'm surprised the Wiz just didn't back off and give James a free layup instead of collapsing and opening up a passing opportunity.

    You'd have to go back to the title teams. Especially the 1993-94 squad.

    Our defense pulled us through in the 4th. We need a game like this to work on the defense. We can't blow out every opponent, can we. We stop them from scoring for good 3-4 minutes. That's all we needed.

    Harden and the Rockets played like:

    Harden still records triple double.

    We lost the spurs game because of it... now we would be 2nd seed if ego was milking the clock instead of going for the dagger early in the clock

    Playoff ball is going to be ugly so this was a good game for them to play in.

    Un-****ing-real. I almost feel sorry for the Wizards. We were outplayed most of the game at both ends. Thank god Gordon rose to the occasion.

    Wow, these guys have so much poise. In the past, we would just hang it up if we're down. Harden finally got his own team of leaders.
