Houston killed them. I mean killed them and when they don't double team James

Hardin the pick and roll it means Steph Curry ends up guarding James Harden at

some point in every possession and if I'm golden state that one bothers me what was your thought of that game

Well, Hardin's really good isn't he I mean I still think he's underrated like everyone loves to criticize James Harden he's an easy target the man is unbelievable and I really hope for his sake and for Houston's sake that they have their playoff breakthrough and they can just write a new story this year

because it's gotten tiresome to see the way people kind of tear him down

given how consistently excellent he is and how his own individual skills how well they've built

around that to make an awesome offense. Now I think that the rockets were really

level and balanced late in that game and you like to see that because that's not always been their reputation whether it's you know Chris or James
