    It's hilarious when amateur fans think they know better than actual successful, professional coaches. Always makes me simultaneously chuckle and roll my eyes. Those hammering on MDA, if you guys are such experts, why aren't you out there coaching and getting paid fat stacks instead of sitting behind your computers trying to 2nd guess everything? Enjoy the win and how good we are without CP3 playing and even Moute playing. Recognize the fact that Harden is playing less minutes per game since he came off the bench in OKC.

    It would've been had he hit that lay-up after he broke Green, or the stepback 3 or 2 after that.

    Might be better to just sit back and enjoy the show rather than project unreasonable expectations on a superstar carrying a team down 2 key players. Bobby Brown played minutes for a reason tonight.

    With 7:32 left in the fourth quarter, the Rockets had already scored 111. So for the last 7 minutes and 32 seconds, they managed to score only 6 more points.

    A win is a win is great.

    Maybe the Rockets got lucky with the Cavaliers, what with Chris Paul still sitting. But six points in the last seven minutes of the fourth quarter won't beat teams like San Antonio or Golden State or Memphis. More so if they are playoff games.

    SMH! :( Some things never change. I think at this point Harden has to bleed on the court to get his due.

    And still with the same old narrative of no defense....

    This team has some fight, if they can manage a top 10 defense on the year we can compete with anyone

    Whoever predicted that, needs to get Likes.

    But I'd rather him starting peaking towards End February and carrying over to April, May...

    Chuck was saying that the Rockets won't have a top 5 defense. LMAO the goal is top 10.

    Exactly, top 10 and just effort on the defensive side will help. I don't know if it'll be enough to take down GS but it'll give us a shot. Tucker and Mbah a Moute to go along with Capela emerging and more effort from players not known for defense goes a long way

    James Harden joined Michael Jordan as the only players in the last three decades to post a triple-double with at least 35 points and five steals.
