Harden had some memorable defensive moments in the 3rd and 4th

Lillard's right arm was clearly pulling at Harden's body. I'm usually the first to clown Harden but that was a foul.

Yeah, I know. Just how late the refs called it after it was obvious the entire exchange

No it wasn't. He didn't even touch him when he reached, and Harden swung his arm back INTO Lillard.

Worst part is them waiting a second or so before calling it. That was even more laughable.

Grant Hill is disgusted lol

low key been hating on harden

Mighta been Harden and Houston's best effort of the season. We'll see if this was a turning point game for them or if they go right back to their bad habits.

Was I wrong? This game ended when the blazers were up 11 and they let harden walk into back to back 3s. Everything after that was just formal. Rockets were gonna win this game by double digits after that and they did. Blazers folded like a lawn chair

Westbrook, Curry and Harden all went off tonight. Dope night of NBA hoops

We dont build off these type of wins. We beat the spurs with their entire lineup and didnt build off that. We will win 45 games and limp into the playoffs.

I might be 100% wrong breh so never mind me. But weren't u straddling the fence of anti Steph last season

I mean, I wasn't anti-Steph Curry. I was rooting for the Cavs in the Finals and I wasn't very impressed by how much the Warriors struggled with them.

But last season Steph Curry wasn't playing like this(neither were the Warriors as a team). He had an MVP season but I still thought Durant and Bron were still better players. This year though it's obvious dude is the best. Him and the Warriors are balling their asses off this year and as a basketball fan I can't help but respect it.

OKC does not have the most talent top to bottom

They are Durant and Westbrook at this point with a little Kanter

Ibaka is not even a factor hardly as he wants to be a strech 4, dude needs to get back in the paint

Man if we can just use this game to kickstart our 2nd half run

It's hard for any young player who is learning the game, starting and then being asked to come off the bench," Kidd said. "Young or old, you have to find a rhythm. Your routine changes.

"You're playing with different guys until the 6-minute mark in the fourth quarter, when the starting group is out on the floor. It can be hard but I think it can only make you better."

Kidd was asked what Carter-Williams should focus on as a third-year pro.

"For Michael, I think we all have to work on our jump shot," Kidd said. "But I think you look at just being the floor general. Understanding time and score; understanding who is going.

"Basketball IQ can always grow and can always get better. Not just Michael but our young team can all benefit from that."

Houston suffocated Portland in the last 15 minutes of the game. The Blazers got very few good looks from that point on and Harden went nuts. Give the Rockets as a team credit and the guy who put up 46/8/5 some credit as well (Harden was playing some defense too).
