    the last quarter of this game was hard to watch, it was just basically Harden getting doubled non-stop leading to careless turnovers...

    flashback of Harden vs the Warriors in 2015 playoffs

    Seriously, D'antoni needs to have a ****ing workshop for the rest of the team if CP3 goes down and all Harden sees is double-teams in late game situations because Harden will be tired af like he was tonight and he'll turn over the ball non-stop leading to easy points for the other team.

    Happy New Year, Clutchfans! Despite a meh final quarter/second half, there aren't many better ways to end the year than with the Rockets winning and Harden getting another 40 point game.

    With how James Harden and the team has played recently, we can end the year on an optimistic note. The Rockets, while perhaps not back to the monster they were last season, have regained their heart and will to win, and when everyone returns from their injuries they'll be a truly terrifying team.

    This recent stretch in the schedule might be the toughest that any team has gotten over the 2018-19 season so far but the Rockets, even with all their injuries, are proving to us that they can handle adversity.

    Bring on 2019!

    yeah everyone gets gassed. what you are asking harden is physically impossible even for Lebron

    it's on Morey and MDA.. they can't simply rely on harden for everything

    Harden overall was good but he does need to stamp out some careless home run passes that all creative genius players try to make. When you got his court vision sometimes you get to creative

    he hasn’t won a chip because he hasn’t had legit help for most of his career...the 1 time he did, his co-star got injured in the WCF

    a lot of these turnovers were because he was gassed...Memphis doubling him from halfcourt like this is high school basketball

    He generated 50 of the team's 61 first-half points.

    I'm going to ignore you because I know you are the biggest Harden zealot on the board. The conversation will devolve from here. Just like Harden is incapable of functioning tired, You are incapable of talking about Harden in an objective way.

    I didn't really block you I just wanted to use the gif.

    I blame MDA more than I blame Harden to tell you the truth. MDA needs to rest Harden at all costs.

    Its become the norm to see CP0 in suit these days since the brotha contributes nothing on the court

    Harden would’ve gotten more rest if the bench was doing their job...give him an extra 3-4 minutes and it could’ve been a 6 or 7 point game by that point with Memphis having all the momentum

    the bench couldn’t get a stop and couldn’t score at the other end with Harden not in the game

    I mean I'll be the first to blame harden if he cost us this game

    but we clearly won because of him not inspite of him

    if only the rockets played in the east so that harden could get that mid season lebron break used to get before a playoff run.
