    Why does Harden purposefully put himself in obvious pick situations where he knows he's going to be doubled in a corner?

    Rockets are not playing defense; Pelicans playing very well. Watching the game you would think the Pelicans are leading. Weird.

    I’m at the game. I don’t know if it was acknowledged, but I watched him untuck his shirt and go in the locker room with about 6:00 minutes left in the half.

    It may not be anything. Maybe just early treatment. But we’ll see. Concerning though.

    This is going to sound biased but when the Rockets are up big, I don’t know...like 15 points we get the broadcast team pulling and coaching for the OTHER team on how and they can close in on us but when it’s a team like Golden State its sounds like a slob knob root fest to see GSW competly dismantle the other opponent!!

    Let’s face it they hate the way we play!!

    Harden why stop shooting?

    Bricking is better than turnover

    Rockets did what I basically expected and took it too easy on the short-handed Pelicans. Got sloppy. Those guys out there may not be their stars, but they're happy as hell to play, and there are no expectations of them. They'll be glad to play hard the entire game and see what they can make of it. Anybody can score if they just outrun the other team to the basket.

    Rockets will adjust to this and win the game easily in the second half.

    Frustrating quarter from Harden. Basically refused to look to score, kept passing to unopen players, and turned it over.

    Need to put this team away early 2nd half.

    Coach needs to tell Harden to be aggressive.

    Good lord, this broadcast crew sucks.
    The Rockets need to put the hammer down in the 3rd and put them away.

    So it’s halftime. Can we open up the general chat? Who has recently got one of these bidet devices for their toilet?

    I can tell you. Life changing. Scrape your butt with paper all you want but I’m on this next level.

    So PG13 is on pace to take 12 more shots then anyone else on OKC but he’s NOT a ball hog? Oh they just riding the hot hand, oh ok

    Only EG is playing well. Harden needs to wake up.
