    This is true, and I feel the same way. I am worried that MDA will have to make difficult decisions against GSW - decisions like benching JH when he's playing like he was tonight - and that he wont do so because he's going to stick by the guys that got him there.

    Harden was soooo bad in this one. Guaranteed L if he plays like that against GSW.

    Harden's game tonight gave us all last year vibes...Thanks for Paul and Clint.

    Give Capela all of the money this off season. He has emerged as a dominate defensive player and potential future Defensive Player of the Year. That last 5 or so minutes was incredible.

    Great defense all around by the Rockets. Houston now just needs to bring it home and end this series on Tuesday.

    We better sign up Capela this off-season, would prefer him long term than chasing Lebron

    Harden's decision making was definitely questionable, needs to take better care of the ball period. However his effort was there, he was active on defense, there was even a possession where he turned it over, he ran back on D and forced Mitchell into a missed layup.

    CP and Capela bailed him out tonight and that's fine, that's what teammates are for. He'll be great next game.

    Yup. He in the pantheon of Scola, Yao, Maxwell, Hayes, AB. All the beloved underrated players.

    James Harden contributed 8 of total 13 turnovers in this game. No other player has more than 2 TOs.

    6 blocks! 15 boards (5 offensive) and highly efficient 12 points, and 2 steals.

    Deandre Jordan? Nope
    DPOY Gobert? Nope
    Anyone else? Nope.

    Cool ass Clint that’s who.

    This is why we brought CP3 to the Rockets, his mid-range game absolutely kills the Jazz defense when they play you close on the 3pt line and have Gobert waiting in the paint for you, Gobert won't reach out that far to guard CP3.

    Hungover Harden makes his annual playoff appearance. My word, he was throwing the ball all over the court and couldn't hit the side of a barn. Maybe mild concussion symptoms, but we have seen this before. Thank you CP3 and Capela, my fella! Our bench continues to stink. The Rockets must hit on all cylinders to beat the Warriors; these kinds of performances won't cut it.

    His step back was a midrange in the beginning
