    It's scary isn't it...Unbelievable, and you know they have been practicing this but kept it under wraps during the seeding games...unbelievable.

    I don't know what game you watched.

    Harden was exceptionally good on the defensive end in the second half.

    He had 9 assists and 0 turnovers and added 5 rebounds, three steals and a block..... he also was perfect from the line.

    The only thing he did poorly was shoot from 3, the rest of his game was exceptional.

    D House in many ways was more versatile than Covington and he's younger. If he can improve his handle he can be a mainstay.

    We have a team folks...A TEAM. No superstar led, but A TEAM. This reminds me so much of the 94 and 95 Rockets...TEAM.

    Harden’s defense literally fired up the team at the start of the 2nd half. He wasn’t great offensively, but dude showed that he can be a huge impact to spark this team in other ways.

    Man, that sounds like COACHING. . .
    But MDA doesn't care about defense, does he? ;)

    CP3 out here looking like a highly paid game manager

    when u absolutely need buckets or someone to take over, he can’t provide that

    also, all this talk of his defense, but I haven’t seen him make any impact on that end in these 1st 2 games

    the most impactful thing he’s done is flop to draw early fouls on PJ Tucker

    Just to be clear.

    My words were Harden wasn’t his best.

    21 points on 16 FGA and 9 FTs is a 52.61TS% and is VERY poor. Especially for the efficiency god Harden.

    Great defense. Great passing. But the shooting/scoring was well below what he has proven to be. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t his best.

    All the Gordon and Harden bashing when we won. They'll both get hot again from behind the arc when it matters most down the road. I have faith. Meanwhile Gordon was a +23, Harden had zero turnovers, 3 steals and 9 assists and we kicked butt on defense! It's nice to have 7 players in double digits. That's teamwork!
    Go Rockets.

    Chris Paul with a -36 is due to our great defense!

    LOL - Right?????

    MDA has been masterful in the bubble.

    Donovan is at his wit's end.
