    This is easily Harden's worst defensive performance this season. Mitchell cooks him everytime, then again he's put Tucker in the spin cycle twice in a row. He's has also blown a few defensive coverages & bit badly on some fakes. Needs to get it together in the 2nd half.

    Kinda crazy we won that quarter despite the blatant ref influence. We can blow this one wide open if our 3's suddenly start falling. Ariza, Green & PJ have shot really well but CP3, EG & Harden are bricking everything.

    He just said that the NBA will cheat for the champs

    Well
    I'm paraphrasing cause he said "The champs always get more calls."

    They’re fine. They are competitive and want to win. You have to be able to point things out to teammates.

    I’m glad Chris Paul kept his composure on that last play even though he was clearly fouled. The Rockets will just have to maintain a double digit lead in order to combat those crooked ass refs.

    This is why it drives me crazy when people criticize Harden's defense for being lazy. No, he just has slow feet. Deal with it, and try to come up with ways to minimize damage on the perimeter, and use him as a post defender.

    You'll need to blow off some steam on the weights. Otherwise, start throwing stuff at the TV. Do what you got to do.

    I'm perfectly calm, dudes. Calmer than you are!

    So far a good game but the refs are terrible. I hope the rockets come out on Fire. Another 50 point quarter would be great but a 30 would be acceptable.

    Warriors will get more calls than us, but they don’t flop like the Jazz tonight

    Rocket would be up by 25 if not for the refs.

    IM glad Mitchell had some success.

    Once the Rockets calm down he will be driving in to the defense again and praying things fall.

    For Harden that is average norm. For 99% of the others thats a good game. Harden is on another level

    We switch everything. The Jazz are not stupid...they set that up by using Harden's man to set the pick and roll.

    Harden just has to step up in those moments and for the most part has.

    That Gordon “charge” on Crowder was laughable. I mean the guy acted like he was run over by Shaq at his retirement weight, when he was grazed by Gordon’s left arm..

    Meanwhile, our guys get hit going to the hole and nothing called. I mean, do we need any more reasons to hate the jazz and their “take note”... oh ok, great motto guys

    I can't do TNT and their basic commentary. Can we get VanGundy and Jackson back at least?

    I haven't been mad at officiating like this all season. We have an uphill battle ahead.
