    There needs to hard and quick double to rattle harden. The way Denver was doubling Harden was child play waiting for Harden to pick apart. LMAO.

    Because it's just an unwritten rule of basketball. When you're up by a marginal lead, trying to score up more points is just adding insult to injury.

    They have high iq talented guys and play good team ball. They are actually good, but Rockets have their number.

    I don’t like it. Other team scores and it’s acceptable. It’s competition. They don’t like being blown out they should play better and/ or not be in the league.

    Blazer game didn’t bother me. I’m still pissed about the Miami game.

    Clint was crazy good offensively tonight. Made so many good plays catching the ball out of the double on James.

    Great team win! I love watching Capela do well vs the league's best centers. Green and PJ stepped up tonight, hopefully this game will get Tucker going for the next few games.

    Harden is in with 40 seconds to go and up 16. Think about that. If I were the Nuggets, I wouldn't put up with the blatant stat-padding.

    On a side note, Millsap looked washed out there, another bullet dodged i guess.

    apparently the freedom of movement rule doesn't apply to harden. defenders allowed to impede his progress the entire time he's on the floor and zebras just look the other way

    Harden was stats padding for the 35 point streak. That was obvious. The game was still 15 point deficit around 3 min. He could have been subbed out in the last 2 and half minutes but he wanted those 35 points.

    That’s why MDA is player’s coach. Just depend on how you look at this.

    I was thinking the same thing. Clearly not the same player.
