    There’s no excuse for a game like this, Harden. Stop jacking up step-back threes and looking for fouls.

    Also, Dort fouled Rivers with the body on that dunk attempt.

    It looks like OKC made an adjustment on how they defend Harden. They are just holding their ground when he's dribbling above the arc and not really committing to give him the opportunity to blow by them. When he is getting past he's out of control.

    I don't know if something is off with him like he's slightly hobbled or he's just not mentally there.

    This game doesn't look good for the Rockets. Unless Harden has a 20+ fourth quarter, this game could go bad for us.

    GO ROCKETS...NOW!!!!!

    This is supposed to be our best player... A guy who's nuts retract into his stomach everytime there's a big game, this is why he will be never taken seriously as a true all time great. Because his legacy is filled with big games just like this.. WAKE YOUR ASS UP JAMES, YOUR TEAM NEEDS YOU!

    almost every single playoff, james harden biggest weapon in the regular season, his stepback 3, turns into utter **** in the playoffs.

    This is for Harden.

    I am going to paraphrase a Hakeem quote I read in one of the Sports Illustrated articles on him...

    "You cannot be afraid to lose the game".

    James Harden is playing timid and is afraid to lose the game.

    Take Harden out, Mike. Put Westbrook in to run the show.

    harden waived off 3 screens, didn't pass to the open man when he was double teamed, and takes a 35 footer.

    Harden has got to do something besides dribble the clock out and chuck a 35 footer
