    I really hope I'm not the only one that gets angry watching Harden play, he literally marches to the free throw line all game. Its ridiculously stupid.

    Ellis just made a ridiculous 3 to end the 3rd quarter.

    Lol.

    Hack-a-Smith.

    Rockets returned the favor by fouling Rondo.

    No foul call on Dirk. Harden comes back, takes 5000 steps, and then gets the foul call.

    This SOOOO much. I forgot about this game so I turned it on half way through the second quarter. The first play I saw, Harden drives down the lane, runs into Dirk and draws Dirk's third foul. I got so angry I turned it off right after that.

    I like Dallas compared to some of the other teams in the West, but I don't trust that they'll be good enough to take out Houston. So with that said, I just can't watch this series. I just get so frustrated watching Harden bastardize the game of basketball.

    preach on. mvp my a**. that's not basketball, and that's not a "skill".

    his five step travel for the foul and the runaway truck job on dirk were my favorites, but there were at least 3 or 4 others that were just as dubious if not worse.

    btw, hope the anti-rondo crowd was watching; he was quietly very good in this one, on both ends.

    100% agree. It's unmatchable ball to me. Compare this to the GSW/NO game which was purely a joy to watch. I can't stand that they have manufactured a superstar out of Harden with the free throw line shenanigans. It's hateful.

    I don't dislike the Rockets for stealing Dwight. I'm actually happy they did looking at how much they have gotten out of him. But Harden is horrible to watch. He gets fouls based on his reputation of drawing fouls. Players like Steph and Westbrook are insanely fun to watch. Watching Harden is slower than watching golf.

    yes he was and I'm eager to see if he can stay consistent with being aggressive on offense because I am one of those anti-Rondo Lakers fans

    I am anti Rondo on the Lakers not anti Rondo, but like Kobe would say Rondo is a competitor. The problem is broken down Ron Artest, and parking strip white mamba Blake were competitors too.

    I am missing a lot of playoff games, so I enjoy reading what you guys have to say, and trying to catch a few here and there.

    Hopefully Rondo can take it to Harden and not take it to Mitch's wand.
    I enjoy hearing everybody's takes on what happened. It's better than having a whole crew of bartenders scouting and advising for me.

    Rondo was always a strong playoff performer.

    Mavs are up by two at the half. Carlisle has benched Rondo for a big portion of this game. Lol.
