    Man what the hell, Harden really just lost is that game but what I’m really pissed about is the defense, it’s trash night in and night out.

    Nope. Dude is clearly running on fumes. Going 1-17 is absurd. As our leader goes so does the team.

    I was fine with how MDA managed Harden. Rocket had a lead in the 4th and he rested Harden. Maybe he could have rested Harden even more since the Rockets were still up 8.. But Harden should have iced this game when he was inserted back in and he choked it.

    Harden was playing around..

    Nba record 16 missed 3s by a player. Terrible for someone who can get to paint at will

    I think it’s a record for most missed 3’s in a game

    harden's 3PT career percentage in the playoffs with the rockets suggest that something close to that tends to happen.

    cp3 old ass need to hurry up so harden doesn't have to go nuclear every game for the rockets to win.

    Lost on the road to Cavalier, Wizzards, Heat, Magic. These are the type of game I miss Road Ryno.

    Rockets don’t give a damn about that top seed. Effort shows that. They don’t care about the bad teams and lose to them.

    MDA did not predict 1-17 three point shooting - and the Marquise Chriss effect.

    (EDIT: According to the box, Chriss was +6. lol. Capela and House were -11 and -12.)

    The team easily beat Cavs, and they forget who they are, including MDA.

    I'm not complaining about Harden -- he's been carrying the Rockets during this stretch without key players -- but man, the body language late in the game suggested they conceded. He just stopped on that Agustin three-point attempt... didn't even attempt to recover. Wide open shot.

    Defense has been trash most of the season, especially in the paint. We have too many players who get bullied far too easily in the paint.

    Lmao slow down guy. At the end of the day u know we missing 2 good player. To over react to a game where we was playing around would be foolish. Just look how they lose. U could see harden was clearly playing to the stat sheet. He wont do that again. He just started feeling his self

    Must be nice. Biggest joke of a signing ever. Wow. Dudes on one of those Lebron vacations. Probably spiting the team for letting his best friend melo in the fields of untouchables.
