    they’re not gonna rest all the starters all at once because they want to maintain some rhythm, but tonight’s game is insignificant

    they played great in the 1st half and sucked in the 2nd...oh well

    they can watch some film about how to better combat double teams and full court pressure...it will give them something to work on before the playoffs

    I'll say this about harden, his bad games could be career nights for 80% of the NBA.

    Plus it was nice seeing CP3 aggressive!

    I'm glad we won. But coughing up a 17-point lead in the last 4 minutes sends the whole league a message never to give up when trailing the Rockets.

    Harden found out that he had been hogging the clutchness for most of the season and decided to spread the love to CP3 to get him primed for the playoffs.

    I dont want to, but I agree.. even when fans start yell MVP MVP I'm like, this dudes going to miss...

    Seems like he changed his free throw rituals from year to year. Before he used to spin the ball in one hand... maybe he needs to get back to some kind of ritual that calms him down and helps him focus on all mechanics...

    The Rockets have six losses in 2018. Two losses in last 67 days.

    This is why I'm not worried. Until Harden figures out how to handle double-teams, we need a guy like CP3. We also need guys to hit their shots :mad:

    I've never seen a team try to double-team two players at once at the top of key to end the game. It was a mess. If Harden didn't try to pass the ball to Capela, Harden or CP would eventually dismantled that atrocity.

    I would love to see how teams trying to double Harden and Paul at the same time. If my math is correct, that means the other defender would have to defender the other 3 rockets?:rolleyes:

    Did the 48 minute beatdowns of teams recently send any messages?
