    This seems an easy point for Austin to make.

    Too easy almost. He needs to confront his daddy Rivers senior when we play the clippers to win us over.

    Easy for the dad.

    Comes home, nice job, Austin. You won. Let's break bread.

    All they need to do is lube up that bionic calf of Hardens. He will play.

    It’ll be interesting to see how Harden does this game. Celtics and Marcus Smart have been his worst matchup in the league historically. He really rarely has a good game against them it seems like.

    If it's anything like the last two games, it will come down to the wire and Boston will flop all over the place.

    He is due to have a big game vs Boston.

    Harden embarrasses Smart, Brown, Rozier or whom ever, drops another 40 plus, Rockets by 2. The train keeps rolling!

    I’m pumped for this one!

    Go Rockets!

    Hate aside, Smart is a damn good defender. Much like Mcw if he ever developed a shot he will be all star material.

    Looking at his career splits against each team you are right.

    Harden’s worst TS%, offensive rating and lowest points per game are vs Boston.

    Smart really knows how to defend him.

    Of course...so did Iguodala and Paul George, then eventually Harden figures those guys out.

    We’ll see how he does tonight. Role players need a big game, though.
