Leonard took 4 games off and still lost. Harden missing CP and Capella doesn’t get nights off.

Shout out Kenneth Faried. I knew he would fit in well with the Rockets. Key piece to stopping GSW.

Why don’t teams zero in on Hardens defense.? i’d isolate and back him down every time. A few nights of making him work both ends will neutralize his offense.

Wtf Max you smokin crack. Harden has to do it himself. 1st in scoring top five in assist s and steals. Curry playing with 3 to 4 allstars. What else does Harden have to do? Curry is great future hall of famer but if the warriors lose curry they can still win it all. If we lose Harden season over….

Green is their guy for the clutch shots they mess it up again, same play failing again and again, let Leonard pull defense and find Green, they had all the time inbthe world and messed up AGAIN

Look again! When Lowry scores at 7:56 they take away 1 point instead of adding 2! Raptors won this game!
