    Playoff Harden showed up 3 games early. CP3 taught him how to have heart and bailed him out!!

    Imagine if this had happened in the Playoffs. Rockets would never be able to recover mentally.

    I get that it’s a “meaningless game” and all but man those 2 missed free throws at the end by Harden... and the inability to react to a double team is really concerning.

    I could see the CP3 bars forming in Travis Scott’s head during that postgame dap.


    He need to bless us with some new music for the playoffs.

    Cleaning it up did nothing...Because now, its even worse, because a layup at the end of the game is exactly what CP3 did...

    Talk about go completely FLAT, that was awful. Worst fourth quarter of the season. Harden missing game winning clutch free throws was concerning. Meaningless game in many respects, but the lack of a "killer instinct" is not a good habit. They could have put the Blazers away at the beginning of the second half.

    Man all the whining little b****es on this forum all come out of the woodwork at once.

    F*ck this game. No one will remember it in a week's time. A win is a win.

    On to the Thunder!

    What are you talking about? He made one bad pass (the one to Capela) otherwise he was hitting open shooters who just kept bricking threes.

    Paul is the type of sidekick Harden needs. A true leader. I trust Paul down the stretch more than Harden most of the time.

    What are you smoking? Harden had one bad pass out of the double (to Capela). The rest were missed bunnies from three by Green/Tucker and one terrible no-call on Black.

    We really missed Gordon tonight, especially when one of Harden/Paul was sitting.

    Having a secondary playmaker would have cured Portland’s doubling of Harden/Paul off those screens.

    Tonight, we were asking Joe Johnson, Tucker, and Gerald Green to be that guy for Harden/Paul and those guys just aren’t good at attacking the basket or finding the open man. Gordon is great as a 2nd playmaker and can finish in the paint.

    Better to have those moments now, and not later. I think James and Chris need to start playing a few more minutes together. They'll end up doing that anyway in the playoffs. Rest them while you can, sure, but play the two together more often than they have been, in my opinion. Everyone needs to be on the same page. That was a ridiculous ending.
