    Harden is outscored by Dort 18 to 10 in the 1st half. Surprised Rockets are up 2.

    As much as I love to.. I don't trust Harden or Russ in the 2nd half to close this game out, OKC HAS to start missing from deep in order for us to pull this out because I have 0 faith in this offense to win this game

    Lu Dort outscoring Harden in a game 7 win would just about put a capper on his career and this franchise. My body is ready.

    Honestly, if we just get a little more aggressive on D with Dort, we're probably up by 5-10. Toward the end of the second half we started getting a lot more aggressive defensively, and I like the trapping of guys off picks and forcing them into bad passes. Schroder, SGA, etc. seem to handle aggressive double-teams off picks really poorly, and I'm hoping we really pick that up next half and run away with this.

    If we play exactly like we did in the first half we will win by 4. Odds are slim though.

    Gordon showed up. Cov showed up. WHERE YOU AT HARDEN? It’s now or never.

    This looks like Dorts' coming out party. Unfortunately might have to commit D to him in the second half.

    Rockets mvp of the first half - Gordon and Cov 30 points 9-19 shooting 4 assist 0 turnovers 3 stls.

    Other Rockets positives of the first half - Green 3-3 7pt and Westbrook 4-7 8pts 4 Reb 1to

    This game would've been UGLY without their efforts.

    What is up with the server? I can’t post during the game because it’s so freaking slow. It’s already slow enough with my two fingered typing. Argh!!

    Oh, and the refs SUCK!

    scott foster went way out of his way to make a late whistle from behind on what the other 2 zebras had already deemed a 100% obvious chris paul flop. does not bode well for the 2nd half, ie RigTime

    When the defender (in this case Westbrook) actually challenged the shot he missed badly. Yes shooting isn't his strength but most NBA players can knock down open jumpers if you give them enough time and attempts.

    We need to be up double digits heading to the fourth.

    Hmm, Harden seems to have tons of help from the teammates tonight, as far as making shots. Is he gonna start to make his? Even Dort is G7 ready.

    Can't even make the excuse that he's being shaded and doubled. He's getting one on one opportunities and just passing it away.
