    Tell that to Harden's Beard. His only purpose on being on this forum is to rag on Harden.

    I've seen the Celtics start off flat but that's their worst first quarter of the season. Maybe 38 games and this being a B2B is just too much for them.

    If the Rockets keep playing defense like this, Cetlics will continue laying bricks and you can put this one in the bank. Big if though.

    Its because he didnt shoot last game, even though that was a smart decision by him. Really like his tenacity, great defense

    What’s funny and what I’ve noticed is the game plan to attack the defense by posting James on that left block.

    It’s forced the help over like they anticipated.

    And what did they do? Stall and taking their time running it on purpose to get defensive 3 seconds.

    He is shredding the defense.

    Provided we use a normal rotation, I expect us to have the energy to sustain this defensively. At least according to my model.

    Yea everyone pretty much liked his effort and defense but he had a bunch of open looks and didn’t even shoot.

    yep, Harden's playing good D, too, despite knowing he's gotta carry the offensive load.

    Briante Weber’s strip and score on Kyrie gave me flashbacks of young Bev ripping Jrue Holliday.

    We just need to at least break even in the second quarter and head in to half time with a good lead
