    Tucker and Rivers MVPs tonight IMO. Without them this is a beatdown

    Harden literally not being able to shoot better than the worst Clutchfans member tonight is the reason the Rockets didn’t win comfortably.....

    Put this thread in the history books.

    Pierce is the only guy with a ring on that list, right?

    (Knock on wood) That should change, if they play each game from now on with this kind of poise, intensity, and guts.

    It seems to be less effective hating on a player when his team won an away game, but then again the media are relentless on attacking harden.

    Harden did what he needed to do to get the Rockets the win! BSPN will say Harden had a bad game..I disagree! Harden knew refs weren't gonna call the fouls...so he set his teammates up. He had a bad shooting night but he affected the game in other ways!

    I was watching the game with the sound off. I saw one damn ugly ass ball game. But, we'll take the win! We did just enough.

    Honestly im not surprised by this win Im more surprised the Rockets kept their leads in the first two games. Gotta keep winning games like this. Ugly basketball is playoff basketball.

    That was the ugliest win I have ever seen in my life for real!

    Glad Harden got over his in-game depression in time to dominate the 4th.

    I thought BOTH of the 2 inbounds seemed like longer than 5 secs...But it's the Vivint clock....one thousand James Harden 1,one thousand James Harden 2, etc.

    That was probably the absolute ugliest, most frustrating, maddeningly infuriating game ever, but it was also delightfully satisfying..

    **** the Harden haters. Just win baby, just win!!!

    This team’s defense and grit are a sight to behold. Who would have thought at the beginning of the season, out of the playoff race, that the Rockets would remake the roster and have such a tough, hungry, and versatile team by April?

    This is the kind of win the brings a team closer together. This is what champions have to do. The Jazz threw everything they had at us (bad shooting aside) and we still came out on top.

    And once again, as a reminder, this Jazz squad was technically the 2nd best team in the NBA post-all-Star break. And we have the chance to knock them out in 4.
