Are you serious? Come on mate, that was a class act on Hardens behalf, these two guys met in the Finals just a few months ago, and are close friends.
Lebron was amazing, no doubt. Also, two fouls stand out: Morris & Lebron going face to face, Morris gets the rebound, Lebron falls. = 2 free throws Bosh call with no one around him. Clyde: "That's a hall of fame call" Everyone: laughter = two free throws Both of those hurt quite a bit despite the fact that the game was called in our favor through 3 quarters. The airball was simply the dagger. Harden really isn't that good at creating his own shot in a double team - which is probably an unrealistically high standard anyways - but it is painful to watch him try to create his own shot. Luckily his vision is good and finding Morris and Parsons down the stretch was big. This was probably Douglas' best game of the season. Morris and Patterson are making strides; and Chandler and Asik were everywhere. This is probably par for the course with Delfino.
AIRBALL IS HIS JOB. Harden shot i can understand when none else was open, but lin shot was a tottal selfish joke
Looks like Parson's had to yell at Harden to hurry back to the huddle after that final timeout. Think we may have a diva on our hands in Harden. This guy needs to be the 2nd or 3rd guy on the team before we can get excited about this team's future.
I agree, they need more misdirection. He admitted it after the game. You can't just hand the ball to Harden and have the entire defense staring at him. You need to move a few players around even if everyone knows he will end up with the ball in the end. This just works better. It's how MJ was used throughout his career.
Morris' confidence is going the opposite direction of Lin's. nice to see good play out of him and pat tonight though.
agree Agree, we are obviously sad because we lost, but that was a hell of a game. We can not expect to have the same quality closing games as this Miami team that won last year but also had plenty of growing pains. Definitely we need to develop offensive sets we can run with Harden and put him in beter position to score. His FG% will fall hard otherwise. This will at the same time end Hero Ball. Coaches need to learn from mistakes like today. Asik should have been inside in Wade`s FTs, no matter the outcome you would`ve called time out.
We were down only one with 10 seconds left. At this situation, a wide-open three is a good shot attempt even for an average shooter. I think he made a right decision, but he could have driven the lane since two players were depending Parson and I believe Bosh was the only opposite player in the paint.
Maybe the real takeaway tonite is that we can seemingly somehow manage to keep up with the best of the best in the nba. I doubt many on here seriously thought we would even be within shouting distance at the end of this game, much less win it.
Wow! Don't know much about basketball do you? I recommend you refrain from commenting so much, at least until you understand the basics.

I see what you are saying, but I also see ray allen and reshard lewis playing pretty old out there. I just feel like if we aren't moving around as a team the ball sticks in one persons hands or just just aimlessly gets passed around the perimiter. jussayin
They didn't start strong but got themselves back in the game. As much as I hate the loss, I have a feeling that the Rockets are finding that spark to succeed
it's his 3rd year in the league and he didnt even get to play until last season. I dont get why people think Lin won't improve just because he isn't putting up 20 pts 8 assists every other game. Kyle Lowry averaged 7.6 points a game and 3.6 assists his 3rd year in the league and look where he's at today. It takes time for people to develop.
This. I hate the whole mushy/best friends thing that's swept over the nba and is being called "classy" while passionate guys like KG are bashed
