That's the first Harden bucket I can remember in this quarter. He needed to takeover when the game was slipping away earlier in the 4th. That's a theme with him in the playoffs. I'm sure he's done it and someone will post an example but I can't recall many times where he carried the Rockets home in the 4th quarter of a postseason game.

Edit: That was his only bucket of the 4th; only three FGs the entire second half. 3-7 from the floor. That can't happen in a half where they only scored 38 points.

Sometimes Harden plays like he doesn't even wanna be there. Down 10 in the 4th and no urgency slow walking the ball up playing like they are up 10. His body language is terrible. But he could be the best player on the floor at any given moment if he had heart. Westbrook's takes bad shots but at least he is emotionally invested for better or worse. Hard to root for these dudes.

YEA LAKERS CHASE THEM OFF THE 3
AND SITS SOMEONE IN THE PAINT.

THE 15 FOOTER IS WIDE OPEN...

THE ROCKETS PLAYERS DRIVE INTO THAT AREA AND PASS IT BACK
TO THE 3P LINE.

LITERALLY

Game ball goes to Rondo. Kuz balled out to and we got an appearance from GOAT James in the 1st half.

Kuz has figured something out and i like it. He can score a good 18ppg if all he does is cut when Lebron has the ball or go for the offensive rebounds when someone shoots. The defence sets their eyes on AD so its easier to get points

LETS GIVE VOGEL SOME CREDIT FOR BEIN GREAT WIT HIS ADJUSTMENTS

How does this nikka speak so good off the top

he’s been doin it since he was 16....you do the math

Rondo couldn't come back at a better time.

He is tailor made to be effective against the Rockets.

I didnt like him playing but Number 9 is back

 

[Surreal]

Great 2nd half by the Lake Show

 

[FcKuPaYmE]

Why the fukk did I pick Rockets in 6?

Woulda been that if They still had Cp3.

 

[Cladyclad]

We were all shytting on Rondo through the regular season but he's been a game changer this series

Not me

If only the lakers had Avery Bradley...

 

[ghostwriterx]

The main reason I didn't think the Lakers could play small is they haven't been able to stay in front of their man. They cleaned that up in the 2nd half and the rotations were perfect.

U must have forgot that in 2018 Game 7 WCF Rockettes missed 27 straight 3s and year after KD went out and Rockettes didn't get it done. Shyt like this got me thinking Rockettes never gone win with Harden. Lets not even discuss Westbrick and his career (I do like him and that he has heart).

Player A: .447%
Player B: .425%
Player C: .437%

Only one of these players is disrespected as a scorer.

That Kobe question was sick didn’t know Vogel knew Kobe like that more than Rob, Jeanie, and other Laker Brass

Vogel was a video guy on the Lakers back in the day on some Spo shyt iirc. Wouldn’t surprise me at all that he knew Kobe well.
