    First off, kudos to @Clutch for posting this last night!! As usual, your posts are "Hakeem" status!!;)

    I've been reading through the GARM to see if anyone has already mentioned Harden's hands in the video. It's obvious that he's raising his arms and embracing the moment! That was a spectacular shot by GreenLight to seal the come from behind win (yes, I pee'd a little :)) but what went unnoticed was that Harden was pointing to the ring finger!!! Basically, JHarden was doing his own version of "Gematria" to let us know to get ready for the downtown parade!! Look for yourself, it happens at 17-18 second mark of the video.

    Yes, I.D.I.O.T. :cool:

    Go Rockets!!!

    I thought it was because Green has a missing ring finger? If you notice at the end CP is doing the same thing and looking at Harden laughing.

    That's what I thought too when I saw the thread title, I'll take the OP's explanation though :D

    But I do like the idea of getting ready for a parade more :)

    @Kam mentioned it in the vid thread. But this has been done by Harden and Paul before. The GARM has spotted it in prior games. It's always due to Green hitting a three, so thought to be reference to GGs missing finger.

    This ESPN video shows the hand gesture much more clearly FWIW.

    Pretty sure that just means 3 pointer. I’ve seen other teams do it.

    Slow down, now, op has a Rox-positive imagination! No need to go there. Imagination is a good thing, if not always a reliable source of information. No shame in that.

    You're reading too much into it.

    It's been done before. SO either you haven't seen it or you don't watch too many Rockets games in which case youre missing out on a lot
