    Harden not shooting well. That's OK with me if the rockets win and he has at least 10 dimes.

    With the power of the bench, Harden might want to get his shots up first before deferring to his teammates. To get into a rhythm.

    Ehh cut harden a break. Hes a rythmic player and he hasnt gotten into a rythym because he hasnt needed to impose himself.

    Itd be nice if he swished some of those bricks but I like that he is playing team ball

    It's not the shooting even that's the problem it's how content he is to just hang at the perimeter for long stretches of the game

    True, but Westbrook doesn't walk around for like 80% of the time he's on the floor...i just hope he'll show up when it matters more.

    When is the last time James had more turnovers than points at the half?

    How do yall think this team would be doing if this were the case, in any game last year?

    The Rockets have gone all in with the 3 ball.

    I don't think playing this way can work against good playoff teams.

    No he runs into traffic and throws up horrible shots against 3 defenders when dudes are wide open.

    Going to be a facinating experiment this year. I don't think they can win the title but a deep playoff run would be fun. I agree that they need to find a way get another star who can get points outside of the three

    I cant decide if this game excites or annoys me. We're clearly outplaying them, but we cant decide if we want to blow them out or tease the dam 8-point difference.

    Harden needs to wake up a bit. Love the guy, but jfc these last 2 games.

    We have to stop just jacking up 3s. It can be amazing, but my god our reliance is frightening.

    I am sure itll be fine, I just wish we were attacking a little bit more, and not giving up such easy inside shots.

    And guess whose play style worked out better for their team, certainly not Westbrook.

    Rockets return for second half much, much later than usual. Harden usually first back. No sign of him with 3 1/2 minutes on clock.
