    no doubt. i just mean from a physics perspective even after the step back it seems like 6'9 guys have their arms up straight in his face standing a foot away so it just seems like the ball should have to hit their hands and yet it basically never does. i don't know harden's wingspan but it seems like he has pretty long arms for his height.


    i don't know what that last shot from paul in the paint was. it was like his body was rejecting a mid-range shot attempt.

    Chris paul is a lot better of a defender than bev. Dudes is a lot stronger and pressures dudes

    i don't know how the rockets defended that possession so well. it looked like everyone was out of position at all times. maybe the grizzlies didn't know what to do against such confusion.

    harden again, damn.

    Reducing these stretches of dumbass basketball is the final step for the Rockets to truly become elite.

    Harden getting too cute with the behind-the-back passing.

    Harden carless with the ball moments...

    This is where you let CP handle the ball to settle him down.

    Maybe not, but playing 30 35 right off the bat is a good way to really injure yourself. He hasn't played in a month & needs to get his game legs under him.
