    Honestly Harden and Westbrick both looked like @ss

    Jimmy's passing was still on point

    Best players in the1st half...

    Threeza, Clint, Hardens passing

    Adams and hoodie Melo

    sure would be nice if gordon and nene would stop doing handoff passes to okc for fastbreaks. or if gordon could catch a pass for an easy layup. or if harden wouldn't do an awkward halfcourt eurostep to avoid shooting before the buzzer to hurt his percentages (and then get the shot off anyway).

    of if 6 of okc's last 8 points weren't an anthony contested jumper, a whoever grant off-the-dribble 22 footers, and a westbrook pull-up jumper. miss the shots you normally miss dammit!

    Harden is embarrassing when matched up against long, athletic elite defenders. This dude is not as good as some delusional fans think he is.

    Harden holds the ball too long. Leads to bad shots and turnovers. That’s why it’s important to have Chris Paul help with running the offense but he’s so damn injury prone. Who knows when he’ll be back and for how long.

    We need another ball handing, shot creating, perimeter defending, 3pt shooting guard in a major way. Also a Capela clone like Nerlens Noel.

    You guys can watch Chauncey Biggums and Pau Pierce (the r****d squad) and whatever female idiot they have on the panel hate on Harden during halftime. I'm going to take a dump instead.

    Entire team defense focusing on Harden.

    I don't know what the **** we can do to win this game. Eric Gordon does a ****ing little move and dribbles it off his foot.

    This is why we need CP3.

    Or just Chris Paul and Luc Mbah A Moute. That might work too.

    Rockets are down at the half so ABC immediately goes to the highlights of the game.. If Rockets were up, they would have gone to the Celtics highlights.
