    You look at the Magic's roster and wonder why they are so bad this season? They are loaded

    He came up the court way too easy, plus we had a foul to give. Rockets acted like the quarter was over smh.

    don't put harden back in if we go on a run with this second unit and gain a sizable lead.

    Because he is tall and white and most of our fanbase that is attracted to those attributes are having trouble getting over their sexual feelings for dmo. #dmotional

    This is the laziest effort I've seen in a while from the Rockets.

    this game so far exposes some flaws in our offense: we may rely too much on harden's free throw, teams start figuring out not foul him,

    They really do have great talent on that team don't they? Goes to show how important chemistry is.

    Their backcourt is very average. A bunch of mediocre starters.

    WOW! Pat. is. PISSED.

    He called out either one or both of EG and Ryno on that 3 to end the 3rd. I love to see that. Yeah it's the second night of a back to back - but that's a mental and "want to" breakdown there. BYD (Bev Yard Dog) is out there with 1 wrist. No excuse for that lapse...foul to give, 4 guys effectively in the area while no one was actually marking him until Ryno put his hands up as the 3 was released.

    It's that type of accountability which will get this team stops in big games and in the playoffs and that's the only way to accomplish something truly special in this league.

    Harden playing bad on purpose, to make his teammates look good and get the credit.

    What a true leader, self-sacrificing.

    Sometimes Harden looks so slow and grandpaish in his game that I'm just flabergasted how he averages 28 12 8.

    Paul Pierce had more spring in his game.
