    I don't care about this stat. He is a ball dominant player and a volume shooter which is why. He can also be a ball hog and ball stopper.

    Still bad defense by Harden:

    Why do we keep making excuses?? Spurs are second seed in the west and we still try and give them the old age card, Clippers are still a decent team, and OKC was banged up as were we. We can't keep making excuses for our wins.

    I can see TJones be a Diaw kind of player for the Rockets.

    You're allowed to have bad possessions

    For the most part his defense was excellent today

    I agree. Rockets don't get excuses...heck we were 2 men down in the playoffs..if we don't get excuses due to injuries, installing new players like Lawson then other teams shouldn't

    GSW commits an offensive foul almost every possession. Their screens are really just offensive holding, would get ten yard penalties if they were in the NFL.

    He'll never be flawless, but he was solid tonight. A bad play or two does not undo that.

    I seriously think there are something going on between Thorton and the coach group. Probably Thorton being grumpy or shooting too much when he is hot, and getting some harsh words from JB? Or they want to keep his value low so that they can hopefully re-sign him next summer? Still, it doesn't make sense.

    On top of that, our 2nd leading scorer, our best shooter, is not getting any minutes over Corey f******* Brewer. Makes absolutely no sense.

    If he continues to get only 6-8 minutes a game, that will be the excuse.

    Is it weird thprton dudbt play?. Cool lineups are great but thorton has been by far our best shooter. Just sort of odd to me. I mean whatever world but to waste talent like that

    Rockets fans y'all. Embarrassing as ****.

    Who the hell nitpicks like this after a huge win over a rival and one of the 3 best teams in the League? On Christmas too.

    "James Harden on D is like when your controller battery dies in 2K"

    It was nitpicking. The guy tried to showboat his little joke, picked an easy target on Harden. If he can just be more patient there will be plenty of opportunities to showcase his sense of humor, but he just can't wait.

    Yea he's a jerk for that. Too bad a lot of negative rep of players is just based off of armchair coaches and vines and gifs posted online
