    Truth. Scottie Brooks and Billy Donovan have no offensive system. It was give the ball to Westbrook and Durant and get out of the way. Is KD an all time great scorer? yes. Can he do what Harden is doing both scoring wise and carrying the entire offensive load of a team? I doubt it.

    What did House do? Run around in circles? Is fifty the new normal for Harden. Hot shooting.

    It's real funny when people complain about Harden dribbling too much and the Rockets being so boring to watch... then, they turn around and holler "MDA's system".

    What exactly is this great *system* that's helping James so much ??

    news flash to the outside world...this is THE HARDEN SYSTEM not MDA's system. Give Harden some f*&$in credit.

    It was special.

    Harden ruined a lot of magic fans nights.

    All you heard was Harden this or Harden that. We're truly lucky to have him.

    One last thing. I got there early and watched the guys warm up. Harden took 20-25 3's from different spots on the floor. He only misses 1or 2 from each spot. Its crazy how good he is.

    "Experts" pretend Harden wasn't already MVP before MDA arrived. Nash nor Lin can claim that.

    Facts gets ignored when emotion takes over.

    Denial is not a healthy mind state.

    I was nervous about this game. Harden soothed my nerves. He is just awesome.
    Go Harden!
    Go Houston Rockets!

    I'm gonna say, as a fan who is often very critical of Harden, that this was the best game I have ever seen him play. OMG, he was awesome tonight hitting those 3's!!!!!!! Now that was fun to watch! I used to hate the wrap his arms through a defender throw his arms up and draw a foul way of play. Tonight he shot to hoop, and it was so much fun to watch. I loved it!!!!!!!! All I can say is he was absolutely awesome. Now that's the Harden I love to watch.

    It's even better when you have Westbrook getting better as the season goes on. His speed amazes me. I love him on our team. Zip right through guys 10 years younger and slam dunk. He brings that fast break speed we haven't had since the Greyhound. It's fun to watch. He just gets better and better. Add in McLemore going 6 out of 7 from the arc and I say. "Why didn't he take 14 shots?". He was hotter than an asphalt road in Houston in August, and that is scorching!!

    I guess my biggest disappointment is House. He has become Mr. Irrelevant lately. I can't wait for him to get back to his old self. If it is because of his illness, then put someone else in, because he hasn't done much since he came back. We need to pick up a forward desperately before playoffs. I still see House as more of a good "bench" player, but not a starter.

    Well, thank you MDA for giving Hartenstein minutes. 7 min a game can go a long way towards the future. Too bad he didn't prove himself tonight, but I still think the potential is there. He really needs to get more aggressive offensively. I'm still optimistic. I really think he can develop and hope he doesn't get traded like most of our young guys with potential.

    Great game!!! Go Rockets!!!

    Great game as has been said by lots of folks already.

    As for the magic, that Isaac kid is going to be a nice player for awhile.

    No the. Spurs game last season where he scored 60 in a tight game and pulled the rockets single handedly was better but this was sublime to.
