    You really saw that Harden wasn't trying to be flashy. There were definitely some passes that he would have thrown in the regular season that he didn't in this game. I saw at least 3 passes left on the board due to Hardens restraint.

    Andre Roberson needs more help. His supporting cast is not as good as Harden's. That's why he should be MVP.

    Also the spurs are an old team that can run out of gas. The Rockets aren't.

    Yup, he didn't push. He trusted his mates.

    If Anderson, Lou, and EGo could show up for the next game, that would be great.

    That one play where Harden got Kanter in the air and went to the basket... I was like Hardenshook??? That was awesome. If we win a chip, that play will be in the championship video.

    That show is a bunch of messed up biased broadcasting... They talk about how well the Warriors played but goes to talk about how OKC should adjust and gives the Rockets no credit? Is it just paranoia? I think there's a legit case that there's biased hate against the Rockets.

    Would be a HUGE mistake IMO.....there's a lot of interest in him. He's the heartbeat of the team....I've seen him absolutely WILL us to victory. There's no quit in his game...shooting 3's (he's not bad folks), rebounding (if it's a 50/50 ball, it's his), harassing defense etc. The TNT folks think the pick by Adams on Bev turned the game around.

    Harden just controlled the game calmly. What a beautiful orchestrator. He started off taking some shots to get a feel for the game. They didn't go in. SO he decided to demolish OKC by driving and assisting. That got him going. 2nd half he just sliced and diced them whichever way he wanted

    His basketball IQ is off the charts.

    Worst home crowd this postseason.

    Bev got laid out by a dirty pick and nothing. If this happened in OKC, the crowd would've exploded.

    Living near Oracle Arena just magnifies it for me, I guess.

    Toyota Center MUST STEP UP.

    Media: Westbrook is MVP. 9 is higher than 2.
