    It wasn't great but it was still good. If you're going to ignore rebounds and assists and only focus on shooting efficiency and TOs, then Westbrook literally has 'not so great game' every night lol. and he's the leading MVP candidate

    I don't think Harden was that bad in the earlier-mid (1-3) stage of game. During the game they pop the stats around that time and his/durant pretty similar. It's the late/ot where he just dribbles, iso or bad pass. BUT u have to give credit, he does hustle, that one where he lost ball handle, then one hand pass for a three, Beautiful.

    Rockets and Astros has a chance of winning the ring. Texans all they can do is win the AFC south, with this gm rick smith. Soon they can't even win that.

    EGO must really like playing GSW. He played well against them in the Playoffs (when they made the playoffs) when he was with the Pelicans.

    The rockets can look forward toward a deep run in the playoffs as well - even using your own logic.

    No one believed the Warriors would lose to Lebron and Co last season just as no one believes they will win it all this year.

    I wasn't a fan of the D'Antoni hire, but it's games like tonights that's got me feeling more and more optimistic. It's amazing how much of a difference a real coach makes! He pulled all the right moves and didn't shy away from using the players that were gelling and playing well (Dekker and Harrel).

    They're gonna be running on fumes tomorrow in Denver, but hopefully they can gut out a win tomorrow.

    I'd be fine with both of them winning co-MVPs.

    Knowing how the media votes, I bet Harden won't even make All NBA First Team, even if he continues this production. You just know they're gonna vote Curry and Westbrook ahead of him at the guard position.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see him be runner up in the MVP race and then be on the All NBA 2nd Team. Has anything like that ever happened before? Maybe in the 90s with all the dominant centers?

    With all the praises to the coach, if he doesn't add more pt to dekker and harrell after this game, something is wrong. Guys, lets appreciate how great of a gm the rockets have. Dekker and Harrell, gud role players. Shame can't be said about rick smith.

    Did you not see last year's playoffs? Curry didn't play, so who do you think put up the points ?

    This McHale or Blair Bicker wouldn't have made these adjustments. That awful coaching staff took away from some of Harden's prime. Completely wasted it.

    I think pairing up with dwight, was a waste of his prime. The deep playoff, when harden unfairly didn't win MVP from stephen, carried the team regardless of bad coach/dwight. The firing of McHale in 11 games was smart, but the failure to get a coach ASAP wasn't.

    That's because Klay was going against two worst defenses among the playoff teams in Portland and Houston. Then his numbers plummeted against OKC and Cleveland.
