    Cmon Covington was wide open under the rim on both of those possessions and we settle for Thabo 3

    Only downside to small ball, is that refs will blow on the whistle regardless if it was a good defensive play or not. Not trained enough or believe that a small dude can play defense on a big dude.
    But that's just me.

    Harden needs to find ways to catch the ball in other positions other than outside the three point line where he can get a quick bucket. The way he moves off ball, if teams decide to double when he's holding the ball, he'll never get a scoring opportunity.

    They already won without Durant that's why he joined.

    If Dumbtoni was smarter and the Rox already won a ring maybe KD joins the Rox instead of resigning with GSW.

    Rivers needs to emulate what Westbrook is doing; catch the ball when Harden is double teamed and use the quickness to get a layup.

    It's been like this for over a month now minus a few games. I mean maybe the dude should try setting different to get out of the rut

    This game is on Harden if we lose, hes been pitful on both sides,

    When you double team him and he becomes a different player, like he gives up

    This is a pivotal moment in the game. Either Harden goes Hargawd, or need Gordon back because without Russ to provide the hustle points, it could get dicey.

    He has been fantastic tonight (and the previous two games as well) gaining confidence looks like ! Wish James could channel some of that he looks somewhat off tonight

    Rockets would be getting killed if not playing 5 out, even with healthy Clint.

    And here we go again. Let's blame Harden if we lose. Same typical excuse.

    But I do agree Harden should be driving more..... he'd get by AD every single time.

    I have been a Westbrook hater, but this is the perfect roster for him to flourish. Beard does need to step it up.

    Also these refs suck Scott Foster is a SCRUB

    You're going to act like Nash / Amare / Marion / JJo is the equivalent of Curry, Klay, Durant, Green?

    By the way, how's Kerr doing so far, this season, when he had Draymond and D'Lo? (That's two all-stars, btw)

    Harden wants to prove this team can't win without him. He doesn't want to take shots.

    DON'T WANT Durant.
    Have no respect for that guy after joining forces with his nemesis (GSW)
    after he couldn't get past them.
