    I think the theory that Harden is playing with a sore ankle is probably correct. He played the same way when he was hurt against OKC. He just needs to pass like he did in Game 1.

    This is better than what they look like. It's not over. If we'll rim protect alone...we'll win. The 3's won't continue. We look better without Jimmy ! I love him but something doesn't look right with him. Gave up 65 pts..we are back to playing no D. What happened to the double teams, clogging the passing lane etc...energy has not been there. They end up with about 105-110...if we remotely play D. What do we hit in the 2nd half?

    Harden is a negative in the court right now. If his ankle is this bad then rest him. This team is running well without him.

    The Rockets are 1-8 since 2014 when Bill Spooner is officiating. Just saying.

    The refs are not shooting 1-9....

    Offensively we are not bad other than Harden. Pick up the defense and get Harden going and we could steal it.

    Honestly I think we drop this one. Pop knows going down 0-2 is a death sentence and will play Leonard 48 minutes if need be.

    Here's the deal: we got plowed in the first half with everything the Spurs had, shooting 60% from the floor, getting all the calls, and yet it's still a 10 point lead which can evaporate in the matter of minutes. Honestly, what else were you expecting from the Spurs, to keel over and die?

    I don't get why we aren't putting Pao Gasol in every pick n roll. Just letting that dude camp the paint plays in their hands. Very poorly played 1st half for the Rox.

    Saying he's playing bad and saying he's a bad or fraud player are two different things.

    The moment Harden doesn't play well for a quarter, a half, or a game, vultures come in reminding everyone how bad Harden the player is.

    You guys are going to miss this guy when he's no longer wearing Rockets red one way or another.

    Things to look for in the 3rd quarter:

    • Harden FT attempts
    • Ariza needs to make 1 or 2 threes
    • LOU needs to hit shots
    • Have to hold the Spurs to 24 points or fewer

    Harden REALLY looks like he throwing tonites game. I've never seen player look so disinterested at times. He's literally just throwing the ball up court & taking ill advised 3's he never takes. He does this every playoffs

    The Spurs are playing well and hitting way more shots then in game 1, but you have to expect this, i don't think we played bad tbh, with a good shooting half by James we would be very close...i'm a bit worried by a possible injury...he was moving well in the first minutes but didn't look the same in the second quarter...or maybe it's just me...

    Harden is not shooting great , but he still looked really good in the first quarter .

    Hopefully he's not hurt .

    He's had a few 3's that were in and out

    I am tuning out the TNT half time report. I will not listen to anything Derek Fisher says. He is a complete jerk. Always has been.
