    Why Harden not taking mid range shot any more?

    You mean, the Jazz 'get to be' more aggressive.
    They can hack, slash and chop at us at the basket.
    ANY contact at their basket results in a whistle.

    Not a bad situation to be in, considering how many blown layups and such we've had.

    I don't buy the whole "the refs are screwing us" narrative that is perpetuated in nearly every game for every team according to said team's fans. Harden lost that ball off the rebound because he dribbled it instead of swinging over. Was there contact? sure, but when you make that mistake, it's rarely called.

    All the Rockets have to do is position a shooter on both sides of harden every trip down the floor. The jazz are going to try to load up guys to make him have to pass with his right hand and get him out of rhythm. If he can connect decent enough passes, I have enough faith that our shooters will knock them down. If we play with enough defensive discipline and solve some of their off-timing traps, I don't see why we can't put them away in Utah, which would be absolutely great for their fans. It's gotta be either tucker or gordon or paul hitting more of the impending open shots ... and I think one of them will.

    Nobody's panicking. Now,shaking our heads and rolling our eyes and sighing, yes, most of us are doing that.

    The Rockets need to get out in transition.

    It’s not teneble to play half court ball against this defense.

    Not only that, when Harden drove to the basket and bodied Gobert, no "and one". When Giannis did the exact same thing, he got the "and one". Harden is refed differently than any other player in the NBA.

    even without cp3 the refs took control in game 6 and def in game 7. or are you blind

    we have beaten the warriors more times than any team in the league over the past 2 years. The refs are deciding the games, they are trying to give utah this game. but they suck

    LOL, we only have 2 players with a positive +/- in Chris Paul (duh) and Danuel House, lolololololololol. To no one's surprise, Capela has a -8 which is the worst of any Rocket player.

    I expect more of it in the second half, but not for long stretches. just enough to surprise them again.
