    Indeed, he played a marvelous game today. So there is no need to point out the few things he didn't do well.

    Much better as evidenced by the low turnovers. Not so much one on one more cutting to the basket and dribble penetration and kick outs.

    The best since the rockets have played. It was beautiful.

    I think Harden ISOed twice in the entire game. Good ball movement

    Do you not know what the term poor man means? It means someone who has a very similar skillset but is not quite as good.

    Smith is nowhere near as good of a three point shooter but can get hot, he is a good passer for his position but not as good as Draymond. He literally does a little bit of everything and excels on D like Green but he's not quite as good.

    It doesn't matter if Smith played like that first, the term is appropriate

    Weren't you just bashing on Harden being hungover a few posts ago? Damn hypocrite!

    The ball moved sure, but not until late did it really do it's work. There were plenty of iso's and drives around the perimeter that were just awful. Just because we won doesn't mean we all of a sudden were great, still way more than 2 Harden iso's, come on fellas...

    That being said, Josh and Ariza were just awesome!! I'll take everything back I've said about Smith and he truly is pivotal for us. Just great to have a guy with that vision and that Olajuwon / D-Mo like fake on Nowitzki was the play of the game!!!! Just awesome. That buzzer-beating dunk and 2-handed block were not bad either ;)

    Green is an overrated system player.

    Depends what you classify as an Isolation. I can only really recall two awful possessions when Harden had Parsons guarding him and instead of blowing past he dribbled and hoisted up a three

    Still accurate though.

    Meh, who gives a ****, the team won......good for us Rocket fans.

    If you are going to worry about what people say on a message board during the heat of the moment - no one is going to care.

    You're not even a real Sig.....that is reserved for Sigma Chi.

    "Heat of the moment." That's a pretty lame cop out to excuse your routine hyperbole and overreaction, DD.
