    Harden is a JUGGERNAUT

    Lin struggled this game but coaching staff still put him back in during crunch time and he made a few crucial plays. I like that they seem to trust him to play through his struggles now as opposed to previously where he most likely would have sat out the rest of the game after the 3rd.

    Its cool that Lin and Harden both finished strong after looking awful for most of the game. And great job by the bench to keep us in the game. Asik was a beast defensively and on the boards, and he should get a lot of credit too.

    It wasn't pretty, but a good win nonetheless.

    Harden single handily took over the game.

    Sign of the century! Morey is genius!

    What a win! I like this better than all our other wins so far.

    Refs were a joke, we started poorly but we showed so much fight. Harden shows his pedigree and even Lin who had a poor game made a couple of big plays at the end with the jumper and his D for the final Harden possession.

    A dirty, tough, grind it out, back to back win.

    You better take the Rockets seriously now mofos!

    Lin really needs to spend some time to watch this game very carefully and will learn from it.

    Getting this feeling in my Groin region... It was ugly but LIN and HARDEN showed up in the crunch LIN with the D on Barea; HARDEN with the super clutch "get on my muffuggin back" shots.

    Jordan played in an era where centers ruled the floor.

    So glad Lin was getting the clutch minutes, Douglas was terrible and Jeremy needs that confidence regardless. He came through just like Harden. WOW!

    We really need to work on at least consistency in the level of set plays here.

    When the team is low, grinding out a win really depends on their proficiency in holding up a play properly instead of doing a Forrest Gump on everything.

    Crucial steal at the end offers a little redemption on the many turnovers clocked (referees and all) but Lin had a finger in the pie for closing it out.

    Thank God for Harden and the rest of the team not mentally breaking down to the end. Coaches sure must have pepped them up a bit.

    Go Rox!
