    Rivers is giving us much needed speed and penetration off the bench. I'm pretty impressed.

    EG should take all his 3 point shots nearer the circle. It will increase his efficiency. Harden rarely takes long jumpers. He missed one in this game.

    Getting a long 4/3 is imperative. James Johnson at 14 M plus is the only semi-realistic option here, if Miami stumbles badly. Ross should be targeted as a 3 too. Simmons and Justin aren't as good as Ross, but they are reasonable options.

    The fact that Morris started by saying harden is a “good player” shows it was meant to be a hateful ignorant comment, so the rest of the comment is also the same. If it was said by a respectful player in a different manner like “harden is amazing (or even great), but the rest of the guys are going to need to step up” then I would look at it differently but nope, Morris was just hating little cry baby here.. and I think this game at least the rest of the guys played great. That’s all we need them to do. Oh and we won by 14

    What is going on with James The Beaded One Harden. I don't know what was said or from who (maybe momma). Man he is lightening these boys up out there.

    Darn good win last night.

    No doubt about this, but right now we need more of it. Hartenstein should be in the rotation along with Nene. Hart can grab some rebounds, and has the potential to hit mid range jumpers. Capela might be able to get short breathers with additional center help. I'm also tempted to give 5-8 mins to Clark, so Tuc can get a short breather too. This won't get into House's minutes.

    Harden is playing like a BOSS. This is why you have to GO FOR IT in Harden's prime. And LOL at people talking about TANKING a few weeks ago.

    At halftime Barkley said the Rockets "don't have any real game plan. They just go down there and chuck up 3's."

    That was the "analysis."
