    God so many knee jerk reactions. The beard is fine. He always is and he’ll turn it on in the blink of an eye.

    James will come out with fire next half. But needs a rest and get his mind right.

    If you get really physical with Harden early in the game and come right at him, he has a tendency to let it bother him and turns timid.

    This is what we are watching so far.

    He needs to compose himself at the half.

    Capela and Harden need to get going. Getting outmatched by Gobert and Mitchell. Harden looks a bit disinterested. Idk if he’s waiting for the 2nd half but need him to get going.

    If/when they get going, this should tilt the game in our favor.

    These fouls aren’t even fouls. Jazz add intentionally trying to get calls. Good defense doesn’t equate to fouls.

    Harden has done a fantastic job of moving the ball around and has gotten several assist and hockey assists.

    I've never understood this. They have been b****ing and screaming at the refs all game and they are getting all the calls going their way.. surely human nature dictates that the refs should go the other way if they cop a barrage of abuse?

    Keep doubting the character of the MVP .

    If you foul any player and get away with it , they are gonna take a sec to adjust .

    Harden may have missed a bunch of shots . But, he only has 1-2 bad turnovers and plenty of good looks he's set up .

    Harden was a little distracted, a little frustrated, and the referee's penalty scale was out of control.

    I believe Harden will be better in the second half.

    BAD CALL on 'kicked ball' (when PJ's foot was stationary)
    Give ball back to Jazz.
    THEN phantom foul called on PJ.
    Instead of turnover for Jazz and possible fast break for us,
    turns into 2 bad calls and 2 points for Jazz instead. WOW

    I wish we would stop giving Utah open looks. GSW will beat us in 4 if we play this way vs them. Thankfully Utah couldn't hit a shot in games 1 and 2
