    True but in those cases he can take the ball on the perimeter to either drive in or back the defender down. He is so versatile with his dribbling and passing that he makes it hard for teams to focus on one aspect

    I'm liking that little mid range shot-put/jump hook thing he does! Pretty automatic lately! Every big man should have a few go to moves. Wouldn't mind seeing more of that one legged shot. Durant does it.

    This is the Yao and T-Mac era we were promised but both at age 21. We need to lock these two up.

    Final four minutes.

    At 5:50 mark you see FVV calling for a switch for #24 (Hawkins) the rookie to guard him, and got the foul call. That's vet saviness.




    Was a good test for the Rockets.

    True, but.... those courts... they're seriously horrendous and hard to watch.. they need to do something and make it a little less obnoxious and glaring.

    Oooof. Speaking truth on Harden. Man, I was just looking at the Clippers since the Harden trade: 0 and 4 and straight trash on defense.

    It's hard to be in position for his one legged jumper. He can execute it though. This will reduce the banging that he is facing nearer the basket.

    I think it goes deeper than Harden, they were just too excited to get him.....he is nothing.

    If he cannot get to the basket, this is not James Harden, Harden the jump shooter just sucks......long term.

    Do you believe now?!
    Coaching matters, that’s all I’m gonna say. The defensive intensity on this team is unbelievable.

    I was wrong about FVV and DB, those two additions have been so impactful and it’s been 3 years since I enjoyed a Rockets team

    let’s go rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
