    perhaps you'd be more comfortable in the company of okc's fanbase instead

    Let's just assume the Jazz go with the live lion approach.

    Is it a flagrant if he bites you?

    I'm thinking he would be easy to distract. Just get one of those laser light pointers and BAM!! 5- on-4 possession.

    I agree with him. I think the opposing team should be harassing Harden as much as possible. If you back off Harden and let him do his thing, It's all over.

    That was TNT for Player's Only.

    And yes, those 3 put together are terrible. Let alone individually.

    Get the ball out of Harden's hands.
    Get the ball out of Westbrook's hands.
    Get the ball out of LeBron's hands.
    Get the ball out of KD's and Curry's hands.
    Get the ball out of Ben Simmons' hands.
    Get the ball out of [Best Player's] hands.

    Good idea!

    Jazz don’t have the horses to put that kind of pressure on the Rockets for a full game...especially without Rubio. This is just a bad matchup for them and it’ll be over soon.

    I'm optimistic that CP3 will be ready, if Harden is slowed down. A low turnover rate by our Rockets and good defense is what we need in Game 2. The outside shots should fall, even if we get off to a slow start.

    This might work last year but we got Cliff Paul's brother now so are you going to try to get the ball out of his hands in Game 3 after he drops a triple double in Game 2?

    its HOW HE SAID IT, he seemed legit depressed Harden was unstoppable and still dominating. Unlike the joy they show when talking about how to stop LeBron or Curry
