    I like that little free throw box, that's a nice touch.

    Thanks for the highlights!

    I like what McHale said about James after the game, that he needs to focus more on being a North-South guy instead of an East-West guy moving the ball side to side. When he's pushing North-South, he's so good at bullying the defender and exploiting the weak side of the defender's body. He's just so good at executing the correct angles to turn his guy around, get contact, get space and avoid the charge even though he's bullying his way to the basket like a bowling ball. That first highlight, @1:58, @4:16.

    It's nice to see alley hoops going to our center and something other than a TO happening.

    I like how he didn't hold onto the ball, didn't force things, made quick decisions and played within the flow of the game.

    James Harden is just a bull driving to the basket. With the lack of many real centers in the NBA and with the rule changes the last 10-15 years, it is really hard to stop Harden when he is attacking the rim.

    Harden single-handedly took control of this game in the third and led the team to a victory. Straight styled on them fakers.

    They should. Harden was doing 95% of the offense for the team. The rest of the team should step up on the defense end for him.
