    A lot of basketball left to be played, but that may be the single best half of postseason basketball that James Harden has ever played.

    We could of had a 10 pt lead but PJ *** ed it up!

    Let's come out in 3rd and keep a 5-8 pt lead going into 4th.

    DO NOT LET UP!

    Complete opposite of game 3. Terrific start. Horrible end.

    we have this lead because Harden set the tone and came out aggressive...continue this in the 2nd half and we’re going back to H-Town tied 2-2

    we need 45 or more from Harden tonight

    So proud of this team for fighting it out in the 2nd. That being said, the pessimist in me says I wish we were still up 10 with Tucker not fouling Durant on that 3 (or rather the refs bailing them out like usual) knowing full well how good the Warriors can be in the 3rd.

    Rockets destroyed the Warriors in the 2nd quarter with a 34-18 score! Rockets got this game.

    If they play defense like that they got a chance. Great effort.

    The turning point was EG's dunk. After that, we were another team.

    This is by far the most infuriating thing with the Rockets.

    Why. Just why. Can they not play with this defensive effort in every game. Not even 48 minutes. All I ask is for like, 12 minutes a game.

    That is good enough to win 8 or 9 out of 10 games.

    The Warriors, even with all their 'all stars', are not the best team in the league if the game is officiated correctly. We see it time and time again.

    I cannot for the life of me believe some of those calls in the first quarter.

    Or that Harden no call on the 3 right after Durant's 3. Quickly, god damn PJ what a time to commit the worst foul of your career.

    Please Harden, please for the love of god play the second half the way you played this half.

    Houston and Rockets fans worldwide beg you.

    Tucker's doing a hell of a job defensively but gonna need him to contribute offensively too.

    Glad CP finally decide to show up too..

    Unsung hero in the 1st half tho, Gordon.. his aggressiveness early I think really woke up the rest of the team

    3rd quarter is the most important.

    Warriors always have crazy run in 3rd quarter.

    Stay the intensity and focused.

    A lot to go but huge credit on not just falling apart after that first qtr. Just keep grinding and no big runs.
