    This series we have always built a lead when Harden is on the bench. When he comes back in it will dwindle

    Good showing in the first quarter. Just gotta keep it up. DeAndre and Big Baby with 2 fouls each

    Harden needs to attack DJ immediately to start the 2nd. Get him out of here!

    They ought to put in contracts that if you can't hit 50 even 40% of FT...they take money away.

    Apparently you can wrap up throw a guy down and then fall on him with your 380 lb body

    Different rotation for Harden. McHale utilizing deadball timeouts to get him rest. Love it!

    Playoff Dwight is here at least, but we need Harden to take over at some point. Don't care when

    Defense has looked good in the first! Glad to see we are not switching everything and allowing miss matches all over the floor!

    20-0 second quarter run coming up from the clips. If not 2nd then most definitely the 3rd

    No. McHale is clearly changing his substitutions this game. Playing Dwight the whole first quarter instead of James. That way James can come in to start the 2nd(I assume) when the Rockets have had scoring droughts. It could work, but the key is gonna be the defense over the next 12 minutes. The Rockets have been really bad in that area all playoffs in the 2nd quarter, so we'll see if they can remedy that.
