    Harden had a bad 1st half and we are up by 15! What a damn great team performance!

    Well.....I’ll take it! Rockets finally came around and played like the team we’ve all become accustomed to.

    Keep it up in the 2nd half and break the Wolves’ will

    Even though we are winning, these games really hurt Harden's legacy which I'm rooting for.

    You just don't see your Kobe's and Curry's have these type of horrible games multiple times in the playoffs.

    When his shot isn't falling sometimes he doesn't have the vertical atheletism to avoid being blocked constantly when attacking. It's his weakness.

    Lol, they’re shooting 35% from the field and scored 17 points in the 2nd quarter.

    please stop this schtick of acting like u know more than the coaching staff, u don’t

    Kevin Harlan can't wrap his brain around Harden being 1-12 & neither can I...

    One thing about hardens 1/12 .. a lot of rim outs and misses by the slightest of margins other than the few drives he should’ve passed out of.

    Those shots will start to fall in the second half

    No one will care the Rockets are up 15. They will focus on Clint and Jim being terrible.

    I'm fine with that though.

    I'm happy Rockets are resilient enough to be up 15 with Harden playing like unwashed ass.

    Harden missing shoots he usually makes.

    I'll take Harden shooting 1/12 FG and Rockets up 15 than Harden on fire but the rest of the team cold and a tied game.

    That's why we got both! Going to be up 2-0 with Harden and CP3 having one of the worst game of their career.

    Harden forcing, needs relax and let cp3 make a play for him. Also Harden need Rynos gravity badly.

    Such an interesting game ... Harden looking pretty terribad but glad our team is repaying him for carrying us so hard for the first game. My goodness, 1/12 and eric gordon bricking so much. Making me want to buy a gerald green jersey before I even buy a chris paul one

    Harden better play better or all these naysayers will say that they were right about Harden being a poor playoff performer. 1/12 is dismal.
