    I figure if the Rockets had lost this game, there would be 10 threads on "Fraudulen" blowing it.

    But since the exact opposite of that happened and Harden single-handedly destroyed a team tonight, we should at least have ONE thread for discussing the topic.

    Seriously though, he killed it out there, that was amazing. I keep watching every minute every game to see some stuff like that.

    I'm a huge Harden fan... definitely wouldn't be making a thread about "Frauden"... but what makes this post deserve a thread?? Post something insightful or else just add it to the game thread.

    Harden has been on a tear for what's seemed like a month now

    Isn't he averaging something stupid over his last 10 games?

    We won this game because of my dad. He wasn't feeling well and went to sleep early today by halftime (he rarely misses any rockets games) and he legit said word for word, that "tonight the rockets will play defense and somehow win this game, but if Harden doesn't score much even with good defense tonight, we will still lose."

    Thanks dad! Literally called the game. I can't wait to tell him how the game panned out tomorrow morning!

    Gonna re-post my game thread post, since it's on topic.

    I still have very little faith in the team, and season, but great come back. Harden is simply put, a beast, glad he can shut up all the little whiny Harden **** talkers. Dude PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK DOE, 46 MINUTES, 46 POINTS, 8 ASSIST, 5 BOARDS, 2 STEALS on 60+% shooting.

    Why does he seem so tired and ineffective on defense? Maybe because he's playing a ridiculous amount of minutes and carries a unreal offensive load. Harden does not have Klay, he doesn't have Green, he doesn't have Kryie or Love, Harden is ALONE on this team when it comes to offense, he does EVERYTHING.

    really? does this deserve a separate thread rather than in the game thread?

    and where was the op when harden played like **** in the first half?

    amusing to see how people can jump from one side to another so quick. "i told ya!" lolol.

    I think that's what kind of drags this forum down. We really only have these mega-threads where people b**** back and forth about the same thing over and over again for hundreds of pages, but we never stop and discuss the little things like a player having a great game.

    Harden's not the reason for our struggles this season. He's clearly the anchor of the offense, and it's rated #8 in offensive efficiency. He's doing his job.

    Dwight Howard is clearly supposed to be the anchor of the defense, but it's rated only 25th. And dead last in defensive rebounding rate. If he's a scrub on offense and isn't helping the team much with defense or rebounding, why do you think Harden wanted him off the team? Morey should've accepted even a 25 cents on the dollar trade because he's pretty much addition by subtraction at this point.

    Great but..... would it have been better if he did that 2 years ago when Houston actually faced the Blazers in the 1st round of the PLAYOFFS?

    2 years too late

    It's hard to survive an incompetent coaching staff in an even series.

    Why would you make a thread about a half of baskeball rather than The whole game.

    Your logic makes less sense than this thread.
