Thanks for the insight. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't trapping the ball unsustainable for an entire game? How would Carlisle successfully...
Well said. And I never really thought of the Kobe/MJ references that you mentioned. Harden still has a lot to build legacy-wise but he is most...
Which prompts another question. Do you think the "hard" defense Harden faced in game 1 was tougher or easier than the defense he faced last year...
Not disagreeing with you per se. But how/why are you so certain Carlisle won't continue to defend Harden the same way? Wouldn't Carlisle prefer...
Yeah but from what I saw in the 4th, Harden WAS the man. He was the man setting teammates up for clutch shots. Harden doesn't have to be the...
What more would you say he could have done? (aside from making a few of his missed step-backs)
I agree with this and it will happen...perhaps tonight :) Even last year in the playoffs, he didn't "explode" until Game 6. But point is, we...
Well, I'm of the camp that considers his "quiet" 24 points to be impactful. If Harden does not play period, they lose. He created countless...
You're right about the 50. But this is also the playoffs and Carlisle is not incompetent. The Mavericks focused on keeping Harden out of the...
Do a lot "us" on here think James Harden had a not-so-great game 1? I for one feel he had a great game. He missed some of his step-backs that...
Why do fans say things like this? That's about as founded as saying "Dallas will play better and make more shots in the second game..." How...
Why are you pessimistic? This Rockets squad is good enough to win it all...legitimately. Only way the Rockets could lose is by shooting...
What in the world are you talking about? I'm the same guy what? I never said what you just insinuated. And go back and read my posts (in...
I respect Carlisle as a coach. BUT, Lebron got contained because he ALLOWED himself to be. Harden has shown this year that he has "it". He has...
I will go a step further and reiterate what I've posted in various threads dating back to yesterday. I believe the Rockets set roster (without...
Great points. While losing DMO and Bev hurts, I disagree that we necessarily need them to put us over the top this year. I believe this set...
So we can be pretty certain that Capela will be a part of the rotation against the Mavs?
I agree completely. I don't care if the Rockets are matched up with this year's Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. RESPECT YOUR...
1) Harden has to overcome the lack of whistles if that happens during a game. He's too good, too talented, too established and too multi-faceted...
how about Ballstreams.com? Small fee but worth it. I've been using that for the past 2 years.
