    Well that's dumb. Rockets shouldn't be looking passed any team. Harden should want to get back to the WCF as much or more than CP3, especially after last year.. Last year's playoffs has almost irreparably tarnished Harden in the eyes of EVERYONE. I don't get why he waits to dominate. What is he always waiting for? Utah can't hold him at all.

    How many 3-1 leads did he have in his career? I know his Suns blew the 3-1 lead against us in 1995 and then the Rockets needed Game 7 to finish off the Sonics in 1997.

    lol It's so weird to me how certain former Rockets talk about our team. I think deep down Kenny never wants to see the Rockets win it all again so he will always be known as being part of the only championships the franchise has gotten.

    Thank god for Dream, Mad Max and homer Clyde.

    Yes he did.

    McGrady believe it or not was excellent in the playoffs.

    CP3 with Tmac off the ball would have been incredible.

    I wish the Rockets came out with the same killer instinct as the Cavs did last night.

    Harden getting others involved opens up his game. If he isn't scoring he needs to be a relentless facilitator.

    I don't think the team isn't playing hard, shots just aren't dropping and they have had some silly turnovers.

    Defensively that was a solid half, so not sure how so many on Clutchfans are saying the Rockets don't want it.

    If they can stick some open shots it'll all be gravy.

    The Raptors also quit. The Jazz will never do that.

    the screwing around wasn't about missing shots. that you can't control.

    its the unforced turnovers, and settling for 3's without at least driving into the paint first.

    driving to the rim = effort. taking care of the ball = effort.

    I hadn’t thought about that angle with Kenny, it wouldn’t surprise me at all

    I still remember when he said he had a Rockets bias...I was sitting there like

    First time in Capela's playoff career that he has had 3 straight games with at least 2 steals and 2 blocks

    He should have 7 assists by now. Capela and Luc got butter fingers.
