    Without Enes, the game wouldn't be that close.

    Harden is without a doubt the most unselfish superstar in the NBA. No other star player other than maybe Lebron would've made that read Harden made to a wide open Nene. That was a game winning play, I wanted him to be aggressive but he does what's best for the team rather than himself.

    Harden just might have saved his MVP chances tonight, but don't be fooled, this was Russ' statement game

    Man, I don't know if I'll survive the playoffs. We have had nail biters with the top teams in the West. We really need another big body. Got killed on the glass tonight. Good win!

    hmm, that replay kinda makes it look like nene didn't get fouled. we kinda were owed a call though.

    huge job by nene to make the free throws. seemed like a bad play design by okc but i guess they basically had kanter on gordon 3 feet from the basket so can't blame them.

    Should also note the superb play Dan Tony drew up for the Rockets out of their last time out, which would have been a Nene basket if not for the foul.

    We were garbage in the 4th quarter. Slightly fortunate to win this game, however we did play very well for 3 quarters.

    Need Capella back big time! As long as they keep winning without him, it's all good

    Interesting that in Harden's postgame interview he said the pass to Nene was not a designed play but a great read by James.

    M....V.....P.....

    Why was Nene sitting for most of the last 5?
