    What a troll.
    Even when Harden is tearing it up, you have to tear him down.
    You're no Rocket fan. You're only here to stir up the real fans.

    Hoping Luc will be back very soon. It’s been a couple of weeks now and I have not read/heard anything regarding his status...

    I think CP3 was trying to get the ref to give PJ the ball so they wouldn't go and review the call. I guess from CP3's vantage point, it looked like the ball was off Tucker.

    Even in this game Harden scored 17 of his 40 points at the free throw line. If refs were to swallow the whistle as they always do during crunch time, would we have won with Harden handling the ball at the end of this game? I highly doubt it. Harden probably would have settled for a bad 3-point attempt, or committed offensive foul by forcefully trying to draw a foul.

    This team would be so much better off if we all just admitted to Harden's glaring flaws, and give other guys chance to close out games. As a pure shot maker, Harden is not exactly the best. I'm not saying he's bad, 'cause he's still pretty good all things considered, but Harden is nowhere near LeBron, Durant, and Curry's level as someone who can knock down big shots under pressure. Harden is comparable to those players only when he receives favorable calls from the referees while not turning the ball over (and playing at least average defense.)

    Unfortunately, those games are way few and far between.

    I was there. Mediocre atmosphere until end of 4th and OTs.

    Also, giveaway was pitiful. Plain red blanket with small rockets logo in a corner and big Ashley furniture logo. I couldn’t even see the rockets logo at first

    I magically predicted Harden to be a Rocket in the year 2013 when I joined Clutchfans in the year 2010.

    Seriously these posts questioning fan loyalty because of criticisms of the team or a player is so damn childish. Get over yourself.

    It is a LA thing, Ariza is home-based in LA.

    Don't tell @brewer's goat. He only wants to hear or talk about the downside of James Harden

    Tucker wanted zero parts of a FT.

    And rightfully so.

    Place was rocking in the overtimes. Loudest Toyota Center has ever been.

    Good to send home the Lakers trolls from TC. Only to check in here to see the Harden hating trolls at full force.

    Nice job, but defense is a huge concern, as are injuries.

    I looked at Brewer's game logs for this season and guy seriously only gets up for the Rockets. What a professional.
