    Harden still not playing normal. 1 vs 1 he is hesitated. That is what you good at. Shoot the ball with your step back! Or drives to the rim!

    Nah he doesn't, he's just not trying to drive and is shooting all step-backs tonight.

    Yeah, James is forcing the ball and holding it way too long. He has a lot of shooters now. No need to play hero ball when we had a bunch of bricklayers.

    The halftime crew don’t know how to analyze the Rockets. Hilarious!

    YES. Listen to the TNT analysts, coaches!

    Stop doubling James.

    Such stupid logic from Chuck. Well just don't double Russ and James can only get 80. As if others will simply never get any shots. They still get attempts off turnovers and when players HAVE to help when their man gets beat one on one by James or russ. It's just stupid. At some point you need to acknowledge these are two all time greats and there is no way to guard without giving up some shots to the others.

    true. sports is all.about the lesser of 2 evils...its a good counter to russ...if im the opposing coach i live with the jumper rather then letting him live on layups.

    just like i rather double harden then let him get 50.
    we know one on one harden winning. we know russ driving he winning.

    Agree. Harden needs to be more decisive. Too much overthinking .. like anticipating a double even if it's not there

    Seriously. That's like saying to not double Hakeem or Duncan. Harden and Westbrook will make you pay if you don't double them.

    The problem with that "let harden and Russ get theirs" mindset is they're great passers along with being great scorers.

    It's not like harden gets 40-50 with 2-3 assist.

    There gonna get theirs and still create enough chances for the role players and end up with 40 points and 7+ assist.
