    Harden played bad but he gets a pass

    He will bounce back tomorrow

    I wish Dmo gets utilised better. He scored 9 straight points in the first quarter, and doesn't get a single touch after that, then gets subbed. He could have more points tonight.

    That's not on Mchale, the players stopped doing what was working in the 1st half. Not only that, Mchale isn't out there turning the ball over.

    Just a Stat to chew on folks..DMo is shooting 40% from three in the last 20 games. Maybe his three pointer is starting to come around. I just heard Bullard mention this during the game ...

    I want to give Harden a pass since he has been carrying the Rockets. Some of the stuff he was doing out there tonight was so ridiculous though.

    he missed about 11 games last year and played relatively well in the playoffs.

    yeah, this year he needs to come back after his latest injury when he's ready.

    I just don't understand how you can play so well in one half and then so horrifically in the next. Oh well, a win is a win and we should be 3rd after today.

    It's strange. He always plays bad against Boston. He'll bounce back.

    I agree but when nothing is falling and you arent getting calls frustration kicks in and you play even worse.

    Since he has carried this squad ill give him a pass.

    One thing about Harden and even Bev....they are out there giving it all they have....regardless of results. They "got your back" and that's a heckuva teammate ! DMO has been unreal also.I had some serious doubts about him initially but he is really coming into his own.Don't like dh12's heart ...maybe he can get a small candy heart on Valentines so he'll actually have a heart.

    lazy nookie? I think he has a knee problem. he's also 29 and has seen better days. I'd like to see what the 2nd opinion says about his knee.

    Only concerned about what he brings to the Rockets....and their ROI on his 21 million has not been good. First round playoff exit doesn't = 21 million ...especially when your ass is nailed to the bench. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    It brings up nightmares of our infamous OKC 73-19 debacle. Fortunately, we were able to fight back in the 4th quarter. We need another scorer/ playmaker who can play adequate defense really badly.

    3 mins left in the 2nd Q, we quit moving the ball, quit moving our bodies. Hideous basketball for 27 minutes.

    Played bad, made bad decisions, couldn't get the ball in post, had open guys & didn't get it to them. Played beautiful ball for the first 21 minutes. It all went to hell quick.

    We found a way to grind it out. Sometimes it happens.

    Tendency to wait for James to fix things?

    Yes and no. They were jamming it. Throw it to the open man. 15 assists in first 16 minutes then we quit moving it.

    As soon as one guy draws two, gotta move it. Give them credit.

    stick to your story. I'm enjoying the 33-14 season and rooting for d12 (like I rooted for jones) to get better. d12 is our best rebounder and 57% FG. We've got a deep team.
