    Yeah, I know what you mean. Faried's average are like career best once he got here. Whatever is bothering Shump, he needs to snap out of it.

    Mavs have played us rival-style this season.

    Throw-out the records !!!

    Hopefully they fall-off regardless.

    This league man...

    Even the top teams can lose to a lottery team if they don't bring it.

    It was getting ugly in the early 4th so I had to turn the game off. There's only so much ugliness you can take.

    I tune back in and we won by one lousy point? Well I'll take it, I was afraid we'd lose.

    Couple positives:

    1) Crappy team, but we held them to 93 points. Just like we held an Embiid-less 76er team to 91. I feel like our D is getting into playoff shape, just like the end of last season.

    2) Both Harden and Paul played badly. At the beginning of the season, we need both to play well to win. In the middle of the season we needed one of them to play well. Now both can play badly, and we can still squeak by with our D. We're getting ready for playoffs.

    Harden needs to swing the ball. Don’t like everyone just sitting around
    james can make the hardest shots in the league, but I think he needs to evaluate some of those very difficult shots and translate it to other shot opportunities. Defense gonna tighten up in the post season

    He really does. The team needs be smart the play offs are around the corner. Last thing we need happening is aggravating his wrist more and causing problems in payoffs

    Naw rockets fans should know by now harden is a Hooper pure n simple. We dont practice he rests alot on the free throw line. I dont think he is as tired as people might think. I like that harden never likes setting that's a good trait

    I don't think he is tired I think he is hurt and he has said when he falls on his wrist it aggravates it and it keeps getting worse.

    Nice win. I hate playing Dallas and it seems no matter how the records are between these teams that they play each other tough.

    Your criticism is stupid, thats all. I'm not saying Capela doesnt have his faults, but there is a reason the Rockets have done extremely well when Paul/Harden/Capela are healthy. The record speaks for itself.

    It's stupid to argue with you when you come up with imaginary reasons to **** on Capela.

    Came back, was like Harden 20 pts? 94 vs 93 must have been a low shooting game.

    That said, ppl would have been proud of him had he scored 20 pts as a OKC 6th man tho.

    @heypartner One thing Im concerned about is that they were really aggressively trapping Harden and it looked to throw him off a good bit, not shut down worthy but mixed in with the foul trouble and it gave him a relatively rough night. You think other teams will try this in the playoffs?
