    here's to hoping that this game lit a massive fire under Josh's ass. This is sometimes what it takes to wake people up who haven't really "felt" it before.

    Harden had another bad shooting game tonight but didn't matter, Smith and Howard took care of business! I love this team!

    This guy has 36% from the field in his past 2 playoffs series, when are we going to stop making excuses for his deplorable playoffs shooting? If hitting FT's is the only thing he can do well in the playoffs then that's a pretty low standard for our best player.

    Amazing 4th quarter. I have never seen Josh Smith play like that this entire season, and he's had some terrific games for the Rockets. Brewer with another 15-point night. And Dwight just did whatever he wanted inside. That is some of the worst interior defense I've ever witnessed in an NBA playoff game.

    What's remarkable is that the Rockets did this with Harden having a terrible final 3 quarters(aside from free throws). Imagine if they get a MVP Harden performance in either Game 3 or 4.

    He is but everyone around him isn't.

    The main problem is Dirk. He can barely move on defense and Harden/Smith are abusing it every time! Tyson can't guard Dwight and try to pick up Harden or Smith too.

    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.

    Playoff Dwight is a man possessed.

    Rockets have TWELVE dunks in this game. TWELVE!

    No team has had more than 12 dunks in a playoff game since the Lakers in 2001. (14) we had 15 right ?

    I don't know what you guys want from Harden. He can't score 50 every night. He had 24 points on 15 shots (I don't count the last 2 meaningless chucks). He distributed, he drove the ball, he flustered Rondo, so on and so forth. He will score 30-40 when we need it.

    "cuban a not very good team had a bad shooting game and their best player had two straight bad shooting games and they still bear your team, a very good team, by double digits in both games. how do you explain that?"

    Harden set it up in the first half when his team mates could get anything to drop, it was the opposite in the second half

    That makes sense. At apparently his team was paying attention to THAT backdoor action instead of those backdoor plays on the floor.
