    Well it couldnt be that he was tired - I mean he's getting run fewer minutes than previous years b/c MDA is such a great coach and the minutes are easier b/c he's got CP3 to take some of the burden... that is the narrative, right?

    looked to me like dude got winded - no crime... get this man some rest before the post season - he deserves it... jus sayin...

    Hmm, could he be standing at the 3p line staying open?

    He had to stay back to play D, otherwise if we would have made it they would have had. Touchdown pass easy layup. This is basic basketball fundamentals.

    Meh, CP3 was initially bulldozing down the lane for what harden probably thought was gonna be a layup. Only looked a little bad cuz CP3 changed his mind and took a pretty good 3 pt shot.

    You're blaming Harden? Capela played like he was on his period but you're blaming Harden? Cp3 forgot he was the king of the midrange jumper, fell in love with the three, went 0/4 from the three point line and only took 13 shots all night but you're blaming Harden? Luc forgot how to play basketball, Eric had excessive palm sweat and you're blaming Harden? Harden who btw went 15/22 for 40 points and played solid defense on Derozan most of the night was the only one that showed up. I'm not even mad about this loss, mainly because the warriors lost too so its all good, plus after 17 straight my game hoodie needed to be washed anyway

    You should wonder where CP3 was during the whole game.

    Harden should've been closer to action.

    Rockets should've gotten more rebounds, namely pre-4th Q.

    He was clearly past half court, you can't see Harden but you can see the defender on Harden aggressively trying to prevent him from running up. There's no way Harden was going to be a part of the play and it's perfectly fine for him to be trailing if they get an offensive rebound he is more likely to be open that way.

    At the top of they key outside of the 3 pt line where he initiated the offense most of the time while CP3 was forcing the action.

    I’ll take that shot again. Rockets essentially playing with house money and still got the shot they wanted. Twice. CP3 open in the corner to lead and then Harden top of they key to tie. Neither fell. Tip your cap. Move on.

    If there’s one team outside the Rockets I’m rooting for this season it’s the Raptors. The only team more dismissed than us.

    Dude he was exhausted after he hit the step back three to tie it. You saw it on the play before when he went iso with DeRozan and just turned it over. He probably thought CP had a layup like everyone else. Couldn’t have asked for a better shot to take the lead sometimes you make them sometimes you miss.

    SMH. :confused:

    Clutchfans has gone full r****d.

    Harden: 15 of 22. 40 points. back-to-back threes in the 4th quarter. Singlehandedly brought the Rockets back from down 15 at the half.

    I imagine even if we win the Finals, the freaking vendettas on this board will be never ending.

    Stephen A, is that you? Welcome to the board. We could use more comical posts and threads.

    Harden scored 40 points on 15-21 shooting... and was the reason we almost won this game.

    Did you watch his defense the first half and most of the game? If you think it was acceptable I would right now bet you on paypal it wasn't and have video evidence to back it up. Not just one possession but he took many off. This year his defense has been way better, but he reverted back to his old ways this game.

    I was watching the Toronto feed and Drake was talking about how he was crushing Mai Tais in the hotel the night before the game. However you are right, there is 0% chance anything I am saying is the truth.

    I could give you video evidence of great defensive possessions too. Give me your money.

    Why fat one what do you mean? Like a fat sub sandwich or calzone? Please be more specific. But I thank you for looking out for my appetite. You are a solid guy.
