    These Refs have given Utah EVERY thing they could possibly want
    and
    The Rockets are still in it

    We can't have Gordon handling the ball with Harden and CP3 on the court. He's not having a good game.

    lol " he was too busy complaining to play defense "

    they would not say this about any other player of Harden's caliber

    plus , he just missed an attempt at the rim and they took a fast break 3 . Its not like he stayed at the other end for 5 seconds .

    I REALLY hope we win this. Because damn near everything has gone right for Utah (minus missed 3's). How demoralizing would it be to have Harden shoot HISTORICALLY bad and STILL LOSE AT HOME in a MUST WIN?

    Dude he has 2 more fouls before he fouls out. He doesn’t even bother putting his hand up to at least attempt to affect the the player. That is just straight up laziness

    I don't think anyone is trying to say Harden is having a -good- game. He's not playing well. I think some are just trying to stop the SA comparison, but you clearly said you didn't believe it was like that.

    I agree he's struggled with a shot and had a few head scratching plays, but for the most part he's made the right reads on offense other than his shot not falling. I do believe he lost focus and energy when things were going rough....but that's natural for a lot of players.

    It's an ugly game but it's exciting. Must be frustrating for Utah. Everything going your way and still losing.

    Two more makes Harden, that’s the average Fg% of Westbrook for the season.

    If we can pull this out, it will rip the hearts out of the Jazz

    James needs to do a better job on Mitchell, i understand he has 4 fouls but with 5 minutes to go you have to take some risk, and at least put a little pressure on him, that's to easy.

    Rockets aren’t getting any stops with Harden playing defense on Mitchell like this.

    Is Harden hurt? He looks so sluggish. Is the altitude affecting him that badly? I know he's got 4 fouls but still

    He is the only Player that needs to be watched. Its a universal media narrative. The rest of the league are choir boys. DISGUSTING
