    I love this no-crowd game, big advantage to Harden.

    5 of them to harden has now become a pillar on defense. That’s something I would never say

    Seen enough. WB should handle the rock in last possessions of close playoff games. We lose this game with CP3. I don't care what anyone else says.

    Running into guys for FTs in the NBA is normal. Harden's been doing that forever.

    Giannis is a 6'11 Westbrook. He shot 14/25 this game and truth is, i dont understand why he didn't get the ball more. We dont have the personnel to guard him. He either scores or gets fouled. Every possession with the ball, he put such pressure on the Rockets defense.

    Watching with my oldest and he was like, come on PJ hit something and I told him he probably has no legs because he is on that monster Giannas.

    He is hurt with an ankle sprain. Should be ready by playoff.

    Last 5 minutes of this game is a display on how championship defense is supposed to be played by the Rockets.

    Jeff Green also played great defense on Giannis.

    LOL dallas was leading big at the half and now are in a battle with phx in the 4th. More choking from them.

    Great win. But rebounding will be the death of this team, especially given who we have to go through to win a ring (LA Lakers, LAC). Not sure why Chandler doesn't play spot minutes. The Rockets are SO close to being unstoppable, but Morey's stubbornness is frustrating

    Put down the pipe. James should handle the rock.
