    On pace for a quiet 33 points.

    People expecting 40 every night are completely unrealistic.

    Would love for Harden to draw fouls every trip down the line for the rest of the game so that I can taste sweet and salty tears of Suns commentators.

    That would explain his terrible three point shooting lately. It's not normal for him to shoot this poorly for this long of a period. He'll have an off night on occasion but seldom is it more than one in a row. I think this is game 3 he's shot poorly?

    edit: I lied. He shot well in the Raptors game he just didn't shoot much.

    BTW, good defense and rebound in traffic by Harden last trip.

    Switched on two different Suns to make things difficult for them.

    No one is expecting him to get 40 a night. But he has to change his game if his shot isn't falling. Being 1-11 from 3 means that there were 10 possessions where we came up empty. If Phoenix was a better team, we'd be losing right now.

    combination of being banged up and having to play 40 minutes per game

    That could be flagrant, did he go for the ball? Not at all.

    The guy is exhausted and beat up, Harden deserves benefit of doubt on the rare nights he is not completely carrying entire team.

    I'm so sick of James taking 3 times as many 3's as everyone else when he is shooting so terribly. He's jacking and shooting in ball hog mode.

    How is that not a flagrant on Booker?

    If the Suns could hit FT, they'd be winning this game. I thought refs were supposed to be affected by the home crowd?

    Booker is the one who grabbed Harden. What is Booker's problem?

    Refs never give the Rockets a friendly home whistle.

    And every other fanbase thinks we get looked after because Harden shoots so many FTs.

    Try and say something about the refs boning us to a fan of another team and you're going to have a bad time lol

    It looked like Booker grabbed Harden around the neck

    Harden can sometimes feel entitled to not being grabbed to the point that he takes it personally. That was a reasonable play by Booker to prevent Harden from getting a shot up. In fact he grabbed Harden in a way to make sure he wouldn't injure himself.

    It was a clean foul on Booker.
