    Harden with several stupid turnovers, and that missed layup can't happen.

    Hes amazing and the only reason we're not down, but it still could be better.

    Finally got to the line, gj Rivers.

    refs didnt even want to call that foul for Austin. they are mandated to only give Harden the fouls and he only gets 2.

    Lets be honest. Harden is just going to have to score 40+. No one else is reliable

    We've played pretty poorly and we're ahead. Both teams gonna improve but I hope we can keep up this energy.

    LOL @ it being nearly tied with the solid defense we're playing. This is why threes only is a dumb strategy.

    I agree with Van Gundy on the second foul, but the first one with Rivers it was clear Noel's body hit him.

    If you told me we would be counting on Rivers and McClemore to win the title before the season, I'd have told you we are dicked. If you told me that today, I'd say we are still dicked. But we are up 5.
