    Wow we allowed 48 points. Let's keep the pressure on DJ and the defensive intensity on 8-9 the rest of the game and we should take this back to LA.

    Calm down guys. The only reason Harden is playing well is the clippers don't have Jordan.

    Jordan with only 9 minutes played helps. A lot

    And only 800 people viewing the GARM. If we were down 15 there would be 2000 in here b****ing about how Harden's long beard conceals his emotions and hurts the team intensity.

    All you can do is take one game at a time. We need this one to have a chance. Never know. One step at a time.

    This is making me upset and happy..

    Happy that we are leading and playing well, but upset bc where has this effort been? Yes we are making more shots, but effort and intensity can still be there even when your shot isn't falling. Why couldn't we have done this before game 5? I guess the Rockets want to do the whole 3-1 deficit and win the series thing that the 95 rockets did

    Harden is playing extremely good tonight. We just gotta continue scoring, give them no life. Give them no chance to come back.

    I didn't doubt James Harden. I just wondered why the hell he wasn't more aggressive. He wasn't even looking for his shot most of this series.

    Now we'll have to see if he's this aggressive in the 2nd half should DeAndre remain on the floor longer.

    That is what ate me up when he deferred to lesser players when it was him versus Reddick on a fast break. Perhaps the bigger question is: why shouldn't he do this for the whole rest of the series???

    I expect the Clippers to shoot better in the second half. They were missing some open shots.

    Harden respects everybody way too much at times... Reddick is the Duke player of the decade or something like that.. You let that crap get in your head and the oppositions will nail you shut..

    The key adjustment for Game 5 is playing harder. Great adjustment by coach. Let's keep it going in the 2nd half!

    This game is pissing me off because it just shows what is possible when we play some ****ing defense, stay in front of your ****ing man and put your ****ing hands up.

    I believe Jordan has not been in foul trouble much in the series which is why Harden was not playing like tonight. Clippers have been double teaming Harden with a spy behind Redick and then Jordan guarding the paint.

    Showing up for 2 quarters and you guys are on the bandwagon? Games not done yet. Rockets always blow leads..... We know this.
