    I like hardens full court passes.Test the defense!

    Keep them scared of that threat. Reward capela for running the floor. If we turn it over then we are already set on defense so it functions more like a missed field goal then a turnover

    Mda and harden want to keep it run and gun and fast paced. No grind it out slow it down ball for us!

    Harden is a true professional and a leader. I better not hear anyone in this board call him lazy or selfish no matter what happens in this playoff run. Houston fans need to appreciate the hell out of quotes like this.

    I mean this seriously. I hope he retires a rocket

    Best rocket that ive had the pleasure of watching in my life

    Hakeem is a houston legend tho. Made it to championship gane in ncaa and back to back titles in nba. 95 is arguably the most impressive championship in nba history. Beat the teams with the 4 best records in the nba all on the road.

    Hardens gotta win at least 1 chip to be in the conversation.

    No matter what lefty beard is my favorite player ever though

    As long as that Dyke and Tony Brothers are not calling it then it's all good.

    If we lose this series, no matter what Harden does, the Harden "truthers" will be out in full force.

    "I told you you couldn't build around the fat, drunk turnover machine." "His "tricks" only work in the regular season."

    To be honest we will probably hear that nonsense no matter when we get knocked out. We could lose game 7 of the finals in OT and some ass hat would use that as proof that Harden and all these 3s just isn't how you win in the NBA.

    I like how Troy Williams comes in and does well, he will now get minutes in a playoff game!

    Can't remember the last Rockets coach who would do that.

    McHale played rookie Capela in all 17 games of the 2015 run after just 12 games at end of regular season.

    McHale also used rookie Troy Daniels in fairly big minutes in the Portland series after just signing him.

    Well, McHale was kinda forced to use Capela late that season when Dwight missed a bunch of time and then couldn't play B2Bs when he did finally return. And then in Game 1 vs Dallas, Dwight was in foul trouble the entire game, so again, McHale had no choice but to go to Capela. Fortunately that worked out and McHale felt safe giving him minutes the rest of the postseason.

    As for Daniels, again, foul trouble was why he found himself on the floor at the end of OT in Game 3 to (temporarily)save McHale's ass. Parsons had fouled out. Had that not happened, he would've been out there instead of Troy and we might've been looking at an embarrassing sweep.

    I live in Austin and have tickets to tonight's game. Unfortunately cannot go and need to sell. If I sell on flash seats, can I also list on StubHub? If so, any tips on how to do so?

    So, that happened 4 games in a row? There is always reasons rookies who rarely played in reg season get their number called in the playoffs. Troy's no different.

    I'm no McHale apologizer, but saying he didn't play young guys throughout his tenure is just false. Anyhoot, that's my last comment on the past in this thread.

    GO ROCKETS!

    I'm happy that the playoffs finaly start. I was kinda burned out staying up till 5am (CET) for meaningless games. So happy that the games actually mean something again.
