    At least we got to see a quadruple double.

    Harden settling too much on step back 3s is annoying

    +100.

    Collectively the team needs to develop a killer mentality, especially Harden. Can't relax just because the team has a big lead. These NBA players are too good, even in lousy teams, let alone a good team like OKC.

    Need to learn from this loss.

    Eric Gordon starting at F? Color me unimpressed.

    0 points from Tucker. As good as his defense is, we cannot sustain a starter putting zero balls through zero hoops. There’s no such thing as a zero point 30 minute player.

    Dude is doing Wilt things. It’s ok to say he’s done enough.

    MDA has consistently been happy to watch leads fade away. It is what it is.

    I'm rooting for Fertitta to realize that D'Antoni has to be fired. I don't think Morey would do that, risking upsetting Harden. We aren't going anywhere with that coach. At this point, he has his habits and flaws.

    42 points on 39% shooting with 2 rebounds and 1 assist. I don't give a sh*t about his shot-chucking anymore. It's not impressive to me so far and it's not conducive to winning. What is conducive to winning however is when he locks in on defense, moves the ball, and drives more than just chucking up bricks. That's the Harden I'd prefer.

    I haven't stayed up to watch a game live for 2 months.

    Tonight I did and had the pleasure to watch the Rockets blow a 20 points lead and the Bucks getting blown out by 20 to the Magic.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Westbrook and Harden both were liabilities in this game. Both just kept forcing shots.

    Paul George again made an argument for him being ahead of Harden in the MVP race. Legit two way player and has a team of similar talent as the Rockets legitimately in that 3rd seed.

    Did I single Harden out? I said the whole team needs to finish games better.

    Harden was sluggish and a step-slow tonight. He wasn't able to drive effectively at all bc of it.

    He'll be fine.

    Does anyone shudder when they think back to Tilman saying something along the lines of, he's never going to sell this team.

    If this is what the Rockets can expect from the owner moving forward, they don't deserve Harden.
