    4th quarter, time to start scratching mchale's substitutions. Rox should be up 15 instead of 5.

    Harden needs to improve his midrange j...half of the league is better than him in shooting from midrange...that would so much open all the doors for Houston....

    What is up with Harden...playoffs are starting and he's trending downwards. He's been shooting terribly since allstar break

    its rockets own fault, they should have broke this game wide open when they were up 11.

    Harden needs to drive to the rim. He has got a scrub in Morris defending him

    5-14 wow. I am still shocked. He made 4 threes, great, but only 1 out of 5 layups. He's really just selling the drive for the fouls, not really trying to make the shots.

    Coach really needs to design some plays during end of quarter situations. Otherwise other teams are just gonna key on Harden for his ISO. Even if you design a play with ball finally ends up in Harden's hand, it'll be alot better than non-stop ISO.

    His TOs are fine. 3 of them were because Asik can't catch lob passes. Though Harden should know by now to never lob to Asik.

    Frustrating that the Lakers are shooting 36% and we lead by only 5.

    The guys guarding you and bumping you...why not attempt to go by him and draw a foul ? That's crazy to pass off to CP at the buzzer. We play so hard and then start playing dumb...come on.

    We really have to rethink the Harden iso for the last 5 minutes strategy.
    Let's finish this out strong. I do not want to see many isos, please, McHale, I beg you.

    It is going to get worst in the 4th. Rockets need to come out ready and take the lead back up to double digits.

    How come I never see Harden say "My bad" after an obvious ***** up?

    I don't mind him trying to sell it. He is one of the best, but, when it isn't getting called he needs to move on.
