Good D on Harden the last couple of possessions. They need to keep it up.
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"

The rockets  are a predictable team. It took us a half time video session to realize all they do is chuck  3s on one end and perimeter defense only on the other

Smart is giving Harden a tough time on a lot of these possessions.  Maybe he read Eja's criticisms at half time and took it to heart.

Wow last I check they were down by 20+ before the half.

It's a 1-point game. Amazing.

This has been a gutsy comeback from the team. They looked dead for all money by halftime
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Smart is playing some MVP-level defense on Harden. Just all over him. I'd like to know his percentage on him tonight, because it seems like Harden only scores on switches.

Yeah, they try to switch every single time Smart has him. I've noticed in prior games Harden looks intimidated by him. Gotta try to keep that matchup going.

yeah Marcus doing what he does on Harden, making this tough, bodying him, contesting.
If Harden is taking 35 footers with no other options it means we are doing our jobs.

Thanks to this incompetent fool refs, they lit a fire on the team's belly, including Brad.

Who said (thought) it was over at halftime? Hand raised.

Get 'em C's.

I love that Brad switched the PnR coverage too.  He had Tatum hedge on that last play and it worked to perfection.  Great stuff.
