    Face it....they are way...over committing to stop Harden, which is why he's finding an open man pretty much every time he drives. I'll gladly take the easy buckets.

    The problem was on the defensive end of the ball. With out Dwight we just fell completely apart on the pick and rolls.

    Here's to hoping Howard doesn't pick up his fourth early.

    4 turnovers in 14 minutes for Josh Smith. Calm down, man. Calm down.

    Howard didn't play in the first half.

    Still leading.

    When he did, we killed em.

    Really hoping Jones steps up on both ends of the court in the 2nd half.

    I Really don't get the Harden hate. This is the same regular season Harden.

    We need Smith to play better. Rondo went off when Harden/Capela was off the floor.

    Not doing bad but he has only 2 fgs and did not look like himself. Luckily, he is getting to the line and creating for Jones, etc.

    Hopefully he comes out firing next half. Hoping to see a 12-16 point 3rd quarter then a big close at the end.

    I don't think so... unless Dwight picks up #4 at the 11min mark like it seems will happen...

    Dallas is going to make a push, they're tough offensively and always will. We just cant have droughts. I think we've already had ours tho. Houston usually only has one a game, and that middle 5min of the 2nd was....disgusting.

    I am Harden's biggest fan in the world. It is time for him to do MVP things in the playoffs.

    He's not playing bad, he's just not playing particularly well. He needs to start playing like the best guy on the floor.

    Harden being a good distributor but shying away from handling the ball and scoring. Hope he comes out more aggressive in the second

    It seemed like Corey Brewer didn't play much in that half.

    Are you guys watching the game? Harden is playing fine, sure he needs to be more aggressive, but his passing was really great in the 1st half and scored 12 points. Seems pretty solid to me.
