    Kawhi Leonard didn't shoot well in Game 3 either. What would they have to say?

    You guys are full of ****. Harden didn't have a good shooting night, but definitely showed up the whole night doing other things, boxing out, getting steals, getting deflections, getting teammates good looks, etc. We won the game. No one will remember this game after this series is over.

    I'm glad he got some help tonight as well, he needed it.

    This was Tucker's best defensive performance in quite some time.

    I honestly believe this ugly win will give our guys great confidence throughout the playoffs.

    I just wanted to state that I liked James Harden's "usage"as pointed out by csj177 in a negative manner.Man, I 'd hate to have the people that want to quit and call it a game before halftime in a bunker beside me.

    I wonder if Doc Rivers is at home cheering on the Rockets and Austin Rivers because Austin Rivers probably played his way into a fat contract. Maybe get picked up by the Jazz. They sorely need another scorer.

    We got home from Houston late so I missed Q1 and the start of Q2. I turned on the game as soon as I got home and turned it to ESPN. Wow were the announcers absolutely horrible. I did not realize the game was also on Root Sports until Q4. I can't believe I listened to those announcers for that long for nothing.

    Quin Snyder is clearly a cokehead but he doesn't seem like a fun, cool cokehead that likes doing lines off strippers' t***, he seems more like the intense, psycho, stab you in the neck kind of cokehead.

    1 out of 10, would not do coke with

    As bad as Harden was the first 3 quarters, he had some HUGE plays for us in the 4th.

    I have no idea how game 4 will go but I think things will regress to the mean for the Rockets. Harden should be closer to his MVP self in other words.

    While the Jazz could still win game 4 to save face, I believe tonight to be the best chance they squandered. They caught the Rockets all game long in which the Rockets forgot how to play basketball together and in some cases individually. Jazz should have taken this game...............................but they didn’t.

    Jazz shot well? They shot 42% from the field, 29% from 3, and 66% from the line. Their bricking was the #1 reason we won tonight IMO. They got many good looks, especially from deep in the corners, and they missed. They shot horribly from the free throw line, especially in the 3rd quarter. The Jazz are not a threat because no matter how bad you’re playing, u can still be in the game because they generally struggle to generate good offense.

    I mean... not to give Malone props but he's the no. 2 points leader in NBA history. Two of those four names are HoF.

    Harden was trying to go 4-20. He almost had it!
