    but he also gets it back by taking contact and making his free throws

    but seriously harden been consistently leading this team to wins in mins, pts, assists, net rating, bpm and people will still have something irrelevant to complain about

    if ever we lost this game harden should be the last person to complain about

    Yo Memphis is so good at defense. That was.....sheesh, we still need a trade. And we NEED defenders, I dont care abou the offense, that's fine just give me better defenders.

    yep, I caught him ball-watching on weak-side allowing his corner man to sneak-in baseline for a put back.

    Not really,

    you can see how much Carter was bothering Harden today and in the second half every time his teammates had to force the switch to get Carter away.

    I do not think Harden made a single drive in this game when Carter was guarding him.

    What's wrong with gritting out a win?
    Sure, we let them back in the game. But we hung in there.
    We made plays to get the W

    I'LL TAKE IT

    If Rockets finish 1st in Western Conference, Harden will repeat as MVP. Harden is trolling us for the bad start.

    Gordon 0/8 from the 3pt line. He literally needs to stop shooting the 3 so damn much. And Paul is just shooting badly in general.

    I think you just want to be angry. Grizzlies never lead. Grizz aren't a chump team. If you thought they were just going to lay down and die down 20+, you were mistaken. Rockets fought back the Grizz best efforts with EGo shooting like Hilary Clinton.

    There were more positives than negatives.

    Yep. It's like a mental trade-off with him. His weird brain can slow down or speed up the world when he has the ball, but it also zones out when he's disinterested ... which happens a lot when the other team has the ball.

    Good win, but geez ... some of those offensive possessions late were just plain awful. Rockets have some self destruct tendencies.

    Chris Paul: 0-5 for 0 points in the second half. Come on, man.

    Yes really??? 65 wins man.

    So what, one defender cant shut down our whole offense, Carter played great but not enough to get them the dub. One on one defense isnt as important in today's game(unless you switch like us LOL...damnit).
