The spurs played it right, they forced a difficult shot (with some foul assistance), Harden just hit the shot. It's almost as silly as blaming Parsons for Ellis' circus shot several games back.
Considering it broke the Spurs out of bounds play I think it was worth it. There wasn't enough time on the clock for him to do much with it. I agree that the Rockets do a terrible job of rebounding (with or without small ball) in the last few minutes of the game.
Not to mention Vernon Maxwell's personal vendetta against the franchise and, of course, Hakeem thoroughly DOMINATING David Robinson. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hW4uXlRGAF0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> EDIT to add: Vernon in action. I'd say the Rockets got their $25,000 worth. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ty-WW3bW55g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
That's the Big Oil seats. Those are the season tickets seats that belong to the corps for clients and such. It is kind of annoying that they don't get occupied but on the other hand they are keeping the money rolling in so its a tough one.
Definitely a great video. I know it's been said countless times, but I still can't believe we have Harden and at the level he's performed all year.
