    I'll gladly watch how Harden responds in the Finals. Wrist injury or not, Bucks came out and executed their strategy better. However, one game doesn't make a 7 game series.

    I don’t think he was passing poorly at all. Gordon and Tucker were more wide open than I was at home on the coach and couldn’t hit shots.

    Also, if Gordon doesn’t pass the ball to the bucks FIVE times, we might have stayed in that game

    We missed our shots, most of which were wide open.

    Agree 100%. Harden is a prodigy at improving his game.

    I knew someone would figure him out eventually, but again, he will adjust.

    Defender: extreme hard shade his left hand.

    Harden: begins possession from the far left wing.

    Defender standing almost out of bounds:

    This is why Bud is a regular-season coach. He tries hard with all this scheming crap in meaningless regular season games and then has no backup plan in the Playoffs once teams are scouting each other just as extensively.

    Already said it and will say it again - Eric should have sat out the Bucks game, and that's on MDA. Gordan made up for some of his abysmal play against the Bucks in the Denver game, at least. You know what trips me out? We seem to have the number of both of the teams ahead of us in the West, Oakland and Denver. We're 3-1 against both, which the talking heads who delight in finding things lousy to say about the Rockets seem to forget.

    Some here do, as well. They'll say it's different in the playoffs, and it is, but it still counts for something. Both teams have to be worried about facing us in the post-season. I don't doubt that for a second. We're in their heads. I hope MDA and Coach B figure out how to exploit that. The mental games are part of the game.

    The Bucks worry me, but facing them again would mean that we won the West, so I'll save that worrying for then, if we manage to get in the Finals. Check that. When we get in the Finals!
