    Rockets hold the team with the 4th offrat in the season at 40 points at the half -> Chuck: "Rockets defense is not good"

    Lmao

    That's...not accurate. At all. To say every "Star" out there has played well in every game...come on.

    Chuck wasn’t a big guy in the sense he means. If Barkley was 7 feet with his mindset and physical gifts he would have destroyed the league

    I like that kind of thinking. Accept what's happening and use it to your advantage.

    no doubt, but I still hope he doesn’t have some 2-18 or 3-19 type game

    This is definitely the case. This game would be a certain loss in previous seasons without CP3

    I'm certain we will reach the WCF .

    But Harden can't have this oscillation between great performance and historically atrocious performance every other game against the GSW.

    He needs to be consistent with them.

    So if he had Oliver Miller's body and was 7 ft, he'd dominate?

    Two things....check out Jimmy's numbers when the game is over. Also, wasn't that the whole idea of the CP3 trade....to compliment Jimmy.

    To beat GS both Paul and Harden have to play great.

    Their game plan is to shut James down. They've focused on that.
    Not worth panicking over. He's still making plays

    Every superstar gets the same treatment. We don't see these horrible swings in performance from the top 3(LeBron, Durant, Curry) which I assume as Rocket fans we believe he can hang with.

    There bad games are like 7-20... Not 3-18.

    harden digested our criticism, heard us say he should pass more, heard us say he needs to stop taking 3's for tonight, heard he needs to work the mid-range....and immediately drains a 3 to start the half. nice.
