    Skip with another troll tweet. Hardin would have held his own with his superior strength and unstoppable step back.

    There is no home court advantage and Warriors. Houston should grab the chances to get the champion

    We set the tone with our D, then coasted with the offense.
    Our Rockets have several more gears.
    They turned a playoff game against a pretty good team into a scrimmage...without Russ.

    Next to Harden, EGo is the most vet Rocket.

    And he's only been on team 4 seasons.

    Harden has never played with the same group of guys from one season to the next.

    Incredible.

    I'm not so sure.

    He slimmed down and toned up, could put some years back on his body.

    I typically agree with you but he's unfortunately one of those players who is made of glass

    Harden is so good the media keeps on comparing him to MJ just to look bad.

    Yes he was. I think hes been his healthiest as a Rocket, until this season.

    I just want him 100% for these playoffs.

    Because we need him to continue playing Russ role and attacking the wide open paint.

    :D

    He doesn’t look that bad compared to MJ

    Let’s wait the series over before all these meme pictures please. Don’t want to jinx it. We just won a game that we are supposed to win.

    perhaps but i think he usually doesnt drive but shoots long 3s instead because its taxing to the body and conducive to injuries

    In the poll, I picked OKC in 5, so hopefully this continues and I'm about to eat crow. My big concern was our role players, so I'm thrilled right now obviously. What really makes me happy is seeing their ability to take it to the hoop, which seemed missing from some years' squads. Especially when the three is falling so defenders are playing against the three, it really opens up the game.
