of the playoffs. Boy I thought Rockets would live and die by Harden but Howard is just such a huge piece of our run right now. Last year's playoffs and now this year, he is really showing us why he is the cornerstone of this team. Those dunks and blocks got me so pumped up!!!
Rockets would not realistically be able to go deep in the playoffs without a healthy Howard. That's been said many a times around here.
Harden played the first game pretty flawlessly in my opinion. This game he was off but he wasn't forcing anything. He will get it going eventually. It's just like the first part of the season where he wasn't hitting shots. But you look up and he has 24 points on 15 shots. That's perfectly fine. JOSH SMITH baby!
Howard is a beast, and Harden just need to get that jumper going other than that he is playing a flawless game. Houston is just playing to the miss match. You can not let Dallas play Dirk and Amare together defensibly without making it pay. Milk it.
James tends to improve as the playoffs go along. Difference between this year & last year is that it was too late last year because we were down 0-2 & this year we're up 2-0. Not as much pressure, he'll pick it up. Everyone needs to relax. But yes playoff Dwight is a man possessed.
Harden was fine. Not like he forced his game and killed the pace or the rythym of the game. Also props for McHale on the substitution pattern tonight.
he probably won't ever pick it up Dwight is the heart and soul of this team, Harden has been playing for the other team for 3 years straight now in the playoffs and it disgusts me when I see him do stupid shet over and over again if we lose this series, we should trade him
We have championship level role players. Championship level Dwight. Now we just need championship level Harden.
