    Man, what a game.

    Huge win over a legit playoff contender on national TV.

    Excellent win. Negate those stats from LeBron in his MVP chances. He lost them this game at the end

    Harden is the clear MVP right now

    In 44 minutes with Terrence Jones on the court, the Rockets were plus 15. In nine minutes without him, they were minus 13.

    Glad LeBron was off at the FT line because the refs tried no calling in his favor. If not for his lack of clutchness we would be out.

    Maybe the worst no call I've ever seen in my life. Somethings wrong if that ref doesn't get a reprimand for that bs.

    Iso ball in the 4th qtr and OT by both teams.

    No one pays it better than our James Harden.

    (Forget about post moves. Dream needs to teach Jones and Dmo how to make lay-ups under defensive pressure. How many did TJ miss??)

    Now are you believers H-town!!!!!

    What a freaking game. Harden showed the world again, Why he's the clear cut MVP. He stepped up and showed out. Even though Dmo and Jones missed some bunnies in that 4th, they played solid our there. When needed we stepped up and made some crucial defensive plays. Beverley was furious out there. Ariza defense on Lebron in crunch time was great.

    Love this team

    Could have called a double foul. The hook arms looked incidental and then neither wanted to unhook.

    D-Mo was pretty soft when it counted. Maybe the experience will be good for him.

    2 rebounds for DMo in 31 minutes the only starter with a negative +/-

    Exactly why we need Dwight back for the playoffs.

    A rare win for the Rockets on ABC vs. a media darling team. 2 observations.

    1. The game was fairly officiated until the OT. The "non call" on the Harden/Lebron moment was really weird. Also....how exactly does one catch a rebound and call a time out in .2 seconds?!?!?!?

    2. Lebron missing 8 free throws was a gift from the basketball gods. I'll take it.

    & we think McHale is a dumba$$ coach! Or was that LBJ doing his Kobe imitation?

    In my opinion, without Ariza the Rockets don't win that game. Ariza made Lebron work for every point he got in the fourth quarter.
