Been a really competitive and entertaining game so far

Lowery has flopped all over the floor tonight. Dude should be embarrassed for acting like such a *****.

Why can Harden never be clutch in the last seconds of a quarter or game.

He's usually getting doubled. The Raptors have played him well tonight but the rest of the team has stepped up.

It feels weird clicking the box score and Harden isn't 7 of 26 from the field and 3 of 19 from the arc.

and he's three turnovers away from a quadruple-double!

ok, Rockets close it out!

Other superstars seem to just be better at last second shots. Jordan, Lebron, Curry, ect.

Maybe a little, but James has hit several shots for the Rockets to close out games

james harden does not belong in the same sentence with those three.

Russ sucks

stuck on 113 for 4 minutes

Getting jobbed. Again.

Can't believe they overturned that. Obvious call, just figured we were getting screwed.

Nice finish by Westbrook.

Really nice win. Macklemore was great and PJ played hard all night. It's good to win on a night James isn't lighting up the stat sheet.

Russ had a triple-double and closed really well but he was pretty bad most of the night. Still hoping we can find a steady role for him to play.

Harden and Westbrook both with 7 made buckets
James on 11 attempts and Russ on 27 lolololol

curry 3 titles
lebron 3 titles
jordan 6 titles

who cares about scoring a bunch of regular season points when you cant even make the finals, much less win a title?

While he's a great regular season scorer I've always though it is hard to watch Harden. Throw in Westbrook and it can be flat painful to watch this teams at times. One always inefficient player and another who is often inefficient especially in the playoffs.

I truly believe if you took Harden and this Rockets team and put them in a market like LA or NY he would be worshiped like an NBA God and probably have 3 MVP's by now.

His detractors just don't like him and thats fine. There are still people who don't like LeBron, Steph, KD, Kobe, etc. - those guys have/had holes in their games as well. Harden isn't perfect, but if you don't recognize him as one of the best scorers to ever play the game and can't appreciate what he does for the Rockets night in and night out I don't know what to tell you.

100%

That's what I don't get it. If you're a Rockets fan, what other choice do you have? He's going to be a Rocket for life, might as well learn to enjoy it.

Truth, if James was a Laker you would never hear anyone in the media talking about how "ugly" or "hard to watch" James is.

I truly believe that James thrives on the haters. He isn't perfect but when he is cooking he is amazing.

Not saying he isn't a great scorer. Just don't feel he can win a title. Been a rockets fan for almost 40 years. It's ok to be critical of a pro athlete on a message board.

lol at this quote from mclemore about the game last night:
"I got to give credit to myself for just staying focused and continue to shoot my shots. My teammates did a great job of keeping my confidence high."

"I love me some me" - T.O. and Ben McLemore
