    Yeah - the Warriors just packed the paint and Draymond was allowed to hack at will. Plenty of those missed threes were wide open.
    Sure, some of them were ill advised chucks, but still...

    This isn’t true. Lead needs to be as big as possible for this Rockets team. Anything can happen in the 4th quarter with them.

    CP3 said he's one of his best friends in the league and talks to him regularly

    So, wasn't expecting the Rox up by 15 at halftime, with a 13-3 FTA disparity. Or with a 23-16 rebounding advantage. Glad to see it. Surprised to see 44 pages of comments, at halftime, on a game the Rockets are winning.

    House is costing himself some money with this un-clutch play. Hope that changes.

    Harden is getting to where he wants. It is going to be a long night for the Jazz if they don't come up with a better plan to defend him. The refs are doing the best they can.

    It's just an awful defensive plan altogether. The only reason it worked for the Bucks was because we were bricking like ****. Most nights we're going to hit our open 3pt shots

    It looks like Gober is running up and occupies harden's landing area for his floater shot. He's also stiff arming him and that's screwing up his shot. I worry about his "safe-landing" for him on those floaters.

    Man, Harden must've been fire hot early-game.

    He missed every shot except one since I've been watching and I was about to scold him. Good thing I checked box score first.

    Good game, thus far. This is what we need.

    Man, Shaq is just being as annoying as possible.

    Shaq, you were 3 times bigger than the man defending you, you bullied your way to the basket, and threw a line drive at the goal from 2 feet away. Don't act like you had an amazing set of moves.

    harden was definitely fouled on 4 different possessions, the early 3 on rubio and three drives into the paint. goble and davis are f'n b****es, and it'll only get worse from here on out. last year our only loss to UTA was w/ foster brothers

    For once...I agree with Kenny. They aren't forcing James right, they are allowing him to go right, then he just starts to go left once he goes by them. I'm not sure what that defense is supposed to do.
