    We've seen Harden play like this before, and I have always thought he was concussed when it happened. This time, not so much. Looking for a big second half.

    Capela isn't playing well. I suspect we'll hear that he didn't feel well before this game. He looks slow.

    Game shows why we need Paul. Harden has been called differently then the rest of the series but he needs to hit his shots. Still passing and playing defense well. And they are down 5. Meh. If you are down 5 with Harden not making a field goal you are in a good position. All these chicken littles need to calm their keyboard t***.

    I've never seen a top player consistently have meltdowns games in the playoffs like Harden.. man I want to root for him. but the pattern is undeniable

    NEVER? That was the last lead they will have as a team for the rest of their existence? Guys, I'm sad. The Rockets are never going to have a lead again in this game or any other from now until the end of days. The Prophet CK Johnson hath spoken.

    That is true....his usage rate was pretty good the first 2 games though, wasn't it ? You do realize that he can't drive all the way to the basket playing with 3 fouls there the last 2 minutes. BTW...3 of our 5 starters have 6 pts.(EGO,Tucker & Harden) each and Capela has 2 pts. While Jimmy has been bad, he has a lot of company. Kudos to Rivers with 8 and CP3 with 12.

    Refs making sure this series goes 2-1. That's a lock. Some fandom foul calls at the end of the 2q already appeared.

    We should definitely be down by more

    Hopefully we can lock in 2nd half

    James I'm looking at you. Should've taken him off after his 3rd foul.

    No it's not. Off days happen because we are all human. If you can't make shots, lock down on the defensive end. Let's start by not leaving 3 point shooters open. Had the Jazz actually be making shots they could be up 15-20. Can't control what happens when you shoot, but you can control defensive effort.

    We have seen beard have these types of playoff games before and not be able to snap out of it for the whole game.

    James seems more mature this year, here's hoping this is the half he puts it together and looks back on as the turning point in his playoff career.

    Capela and Harden have been poor. But Capela has got to do better on the offense. He's not giving the option he normally does for Harden.

    If Harden keeps playing like this, I'd even sit him out till the next game. He's clearly frustrated.

    Damn people couldn’t wait for harden to just have a bad half.

    Not a bad game, a bad HALF.

    When harden leads the comeback y’all stay on that side.
