    Harden...
    12/22 FG....55%
    6/13 3pts shots...46%
    11 rebounds & 3 assists.

    And the media says he has lousy playoff production. :rolleyes:

    Well that was all you could ask for. Fantastic defensive effort, we didn’t get killed on the offensive glass, the 3s were falling, the bench played terrific, Ego was great, Jeff Green point forward my gawd did you see those handles?!?!?!

    Harden looked fresh and engaged and played an all around great game.

    With Russ, that level of defense and the 3s falling we would take the chip no question.

    Can we get that level of defense consistently and can we hit the 3 at 33-35% That’s the key.

    Great defensive effort, and of course having a bench shoot 300% is nice too.

    It works today. Gordon can score 20 plus per game if he shoots 2

    they will rack up turnovers trying to run more motion against this defense. imo their only hope is HOU missing 3's, particularly harden

    He obviously needs to be traded, Morey fired, MDA tar and feathered and whole team blown up.

    LOL

    By the way those 3 assists dont count, they were too cheap.
