    I posted early in the 4th when they had cut the lead to 12 that it was nothing more than a minor setback and that Harden just needed to be put back in in order to re-establish dominance...I didn’t go anywhere, I was right here

    I reject these accusations of purposefully trying to jinx the team

    The Lin trolls like Tankio aka Lorna malvo popped up in the 4th after a couple of harden misses to start trolling but after harden went bananas they disappeared real quick

    Man our bench scoring though...Gerald disappeared! I wish we could push Eric back to the bench somehow but it doesn’t seem like we’ll have the personnel to do that.

    Harden with his 24th 40+ point game of the season...he’s been held under 30 points only 11 times this season

    The man has more 40+ point games than he does 30 point games. This is some legendary sh*t. How anyone else can win MVP this season is beyond me. People want to bring up Giannis? We’ll forget all about whatever he’s doing quickly. Harden’s season will be talked about for years to come.

    Had this game officiated fairly Jimmy should've scored at least 54+ points

    And he's had to play without Paul, Capela and Gordon for quite a few games.

    This game thread is quite odd.

    Everybody using excessive swear words.

    Respected members going at each other over who knows what.

    I'm just glad we got the convincing win.

    I think what sometimes, people dont understand is that teams adjust their defenses. James, Chris and MDA arent dumb , they dont just stop whats working they make their adjustments according to the defense.

    Getting Faried and (maybe) House back will help. I've given up on Shumpert contributing anything.

    Yes, the Rockets play with inconsistent energy throughout every game, but the refs are a huge reason why these leads get blown often. They do everything they can to let the other team back in the game. Suddenly, the other team can play with all the physicality and the Rockets can't.

    If they can’t stop Harden s stepback then they’ll start calling all the tick tack against him and get him out of the game. I’m pretty sure the NBA would never think of fouling out LeStat in a nationally televised game.

    I thought the Rockets were going to "blow it" again. They really went "numb" in the fourth. Fortunately, they pulled it out. Shouldn't have been even that close. Gordon is an enigma. He goes all world, then he goes limp, can't dribble, can't pass, can't make a shot, can't make a free throw. He is a mystery.
