    He was on cruise control too. I expect him to keep turning it up as the series goes on.

    Harden took only 6 3s tonight. That's the fewest since Feb 6.

    You could see how he did not settle for jacking up long shots. Instead, he attacked. In fact, the whole team was in attack mode. They shot a total of only 39 3s. I think it was the game plan.

    Watch the steal @1:39, Harden ultra-instinct right there, wasn't even looking at the ball. And then the slow-down dribble and dunk to thwart Lebron's block. Beautiful.

    Only 1 more than the Lakers I think. We did make like 3 more than them though.

    This team just doesn’t have the guard play that OKC had. No one could stay in front of Harden tonight, LeBron and AD have to absolutely scorch us inside or this could be an easy series for the good guys.

    We saw the full arsenal tonight. A post move, the floater and countless drives. The man is a complete offensive freak but he just needs to use the floater and the drives more.

    I think he knows nobody on that team can guard him one on one and if they’re not going to double or trap him he should have a great series.

    I think Harden and the Rockets are like any team that needs to get their engine started with D and transition and driving to play as a team so that the 3s come more naturally. When the whole team goes several possessions in a row jacking up 3s it’s lazy with no flow and they usually miss. Trust the team model.
