    Sadly half of those were WIDE OPEN.

    He has the yips. Something about catch and shoot wide open 3s is off in his head.

    Harden played 40 min, MDA needs to manage this better,he likes stacking CP3 and JH's time together which is not necessary.
    CP3 looks much better running 2nd unit.

    Rockets get so stiff at the end of 4th quarter.

    You must be having your speakers broken,

    even our homie commentators kept mentioning the Rox letting too much guys cutting to the rim easily without any efforts.

    The Grizz is a chump because they shoot the ball poorly and if the Rox are not sleeping on those easy cut to the basketball, the 4th Q should be garbage time.

    Everyone was worried about how bad Chris Paul's contract would look in year 4. Turns out it's horrendous in year 1

    to be fair Carter was shutting down Paul too, he's just really good with how he positions his body. He doesn't foul either and knows how to play around picks and stick to you. That was beautiful defense.

    Gerald Green saved the Rockets tonight. Eric Gordon almost choked the game away.

    There's no doubt about it.... if Harden wasn't here, we'd be bottom of the conference. Some people actually have the nerve to blame him when we lose.

    The Rockets would be at the top of the Western Conference if Gordon and Paul was playing up to their abilities.

    Why did MDA go away from the regular rotation going into the 4th ?

    Harden played the entire 4th ... he was probably out of gas at the end .... still managed to close for us

    The team is much better without Ennis even with Paul and Gordon shooting horribly.

    yep why can't fans here simply be happy we got harden and got the W. or at least stop whining and crying

    ego 0-8 from the arc cp3 0-5 harden 32 points trip dub carried this team to win

    LOFs/harden haters/fake rockets fans: but harden's missed boxout and missed a defensive assignment!!!!

    I thought the move going forward was to rest Harden more until winning time in the 4th like the Laker game. I don't think MDA trust himself to leave Harden on the bench especially when EGO is struggling.

    True, but there is a difference, while both CP3 and Harden will both dribble, at least CP3 will keep moving and seldom wait till the last 3 seconds to either force a contested 3 or just simply turn the ball over.

    Look, I said it already, Harden is the best Rox tonight, but it doesn’t change the fact that he hate this kind of body to body defense.

    FALSE! We were just seeing how well Ennis played as a bench player alongside GreenHouse before he got hurt.
