    We could say about Lebron pinning Bev to the ground.

    hell no!

    If anything it adds to it. Lebron was roid raging the whole time. His offensive game today was an offensive foul.

    It had no bearing on the final outcome IMO.
    We won fair and square.

    I hope he is. I'd rather have Harden rested against Memphis than go for the win at Atlanta.

    Like I said in the other thread, I don't mind him sitting out that game at all. A suspension would guarantee he'd be well-rested(and more than a little PO'd) heading into that Grizzlies game.

    Lebron spent as much time trying to get under the Rockets skin as he did trying to put the ball in the hoop. He was borderline playing dirty the whole game and then non-stop winning to the refs. Harden was better today than and this season than Lebron.

    Does that answer your question?

    More "dust-up highlights" than Rockets highlights.

    Does not matter because the Rockets and Harden don't get respect from the media. They are stuck with favorites Curry, LJames, and Westbrook. I like it that way.:grin:

    Harden is to be villainized with Howard

    Lebron seemed to take this game very personally, even sitting out the previous game in preparation. I think all the Harden commercial spots and (what little) attention Harden does get is bugging Lebron. He still wants to be the runaway MVP of the league instead of an old man.

    But time, of course, takes no naps.

    The playoffs could *really* be wonderful this year. Every good team has a weakness or two.

    He played very angry today. Forced up too many shots as a result.

    Didn't take a kick to the balls for the media to already forget. I'm curious to see what the various shows have to say about this MVP matchup. It was must see TV until lebron nutted up.

    Tomorrow will be all about how Lebron missed fts not how Harden performed. Shame.

    This is nothing like that Wade kick, he better not be suspended. If he is, it's time for Rockets organisation to back Harden up and make a statement about this treatment of the Rockets by referees and league office!
