I really don't know who's going to win the West this year. I hope the Rockets stay healthy and make it to the WCF along with GS so we can see an epic conference finals.
James Harden is UNGUARDABLE. The problem is he's so crafty that he forces the refs to make calls in his favor. He blurs the line in so many areas. He also makes defenders do dumb shit. It's really remarkable.
Damn...rockets reaping shit it’s gone be an insane playoffs this year. GSW cold, but Harden CP3, and Capela ain’t showing no mercy out here dominating teams!
119 to 114 is hardly winning, the Nuggets figured out how they play during the fourth. Next time these teams match up, I don't think the Rockets will have as smooth as a start as they did this game.
They will. CP3 is the balancing force for them. Harden will be himself as usual. While Capela will be the difference maker to give them the edge over the Warriors especially. The Rockets bench is so deep that they will blow away any other 2nd unit.
Man Joe Johnson fits in nicely with the Rockets. Houston is so deep and versatile with the additions of Joe Johnson and Brandan Wright. Houston's bench would have Joe Johnson, Eric Gordon, Luc Mbah a Moute, Ryan Anderson, Gerald Green, and a backup center combo of Nene & Wright.
BEST. TEAM. EVER. They are the complete version of the Warriors. Their Capela/Nene center combo is the real difference maker. While the back court is arguably the best in the league right now. Plus they have a ton of legit 3 point shooters and solid defense with length (Tucker/Ariza/Mbah). Rockets 2017/18 Champions. Seriously looking unbeatable in a 7 game series. Warriors just look better on paper with 4 all-stars, but their team cannot match up to the Rockets elite depth.
Mariah Lin U can't say that yet... They haven't proven anything yet and the Warriors always take it to another level come playoff time and have great defenders Klay and Draymond who can guard Harden. I like the Rockets but they gotta prove it against the Warriors bc it won't be easy at all. Even Kyrie and LeBron wasn't enough so u can't just assume that they gonna beat the Warriors
Houston Rockets have the BEST OFFENSE IN NBA LEAGUE HISTORY...... Plus they have a top 10 defense. No assumptions made, based on pure facts. They are simply the best of all time right now, simply unstoppable. They are so well balanced, that they make the Warriors look normal.
Mariah Lin Ok but this is only the regular season. You know teams are gonna play better defense in the playoffs and they will make adjustments on how to defend them
The difference between you and me is that you're using assumptions that teams are going to play better defense in the playoffs. Based on that, wouldn't that apply to the Rockets as well? They can play even better ;) That is the scary part actually, because they have real depth this year. The Warriors bench isn't even as good as what the Rockets have. Warriors are great too, but they have an under-performing bench that simply cannot score. Plus they have a very weak center rotation if you compare it to Capela/Nene. Most teams go on to win the championship anyway, when their offense rating is top 10 of all time.
Mariah Lin The Warriors still have 4 all stars and KD and curry who can go off anytime. In order for the rockets to have a chance at upseting them they need to get the number 1 seed and have home court advantage bc the Warriors are tough to beat at home. It won't be easy tho bc the rockets have a tough schedule remaining while the Warriors have the second easiest schedule in the nba
Harden is the mvp at this point no discussion. He has 17, 30 point games. 5, 40 point games. And 4, 50 point games. He’s just unstoppable. The rockets are on a 12 game winning streak. But they choked hella hard in this game tho. But still harden for mvp
They didn't choke. D'Atoni is just BAD at his rotation units! Joe Johnson should NOT be getting thst many minutes. Gerald Green earned those minutes! Green is the only player that can come off the bench and provide a quick spark plug. You not gonna get that from a 36 year old, past-his-prime, Joe Johnson. The fuck is wrong with D'Antoni?! He's being unbelievable stubborn about J.Johnson. That man is 36 years old!! He's older than Nene! He shouldn't be getting that many minutes. Gerald Green is far better effecient at this point, and a natural-fit with this offense. Joe Johnson is more of a post-up, ISO player. That's not how we run. We need shooters around Harden and CP3. Green and Gordon are our two aces in that regard! Not Johnson/Ariza/Tucker.
Dang Rockets are deep this season and they’re winning without 3rd option Eric Gordon right now. Denver are no joke this season and I think they can match up evenly with Spurs.
Can they outscore the Warriors tho ?? lol can't u won't beat them by out scoring them. The Warriors have great defenders in Klay and Draymond who can guard Harden. I'm a rockets fan but we need the first seed to have a chance at beating them
Houston has an advantage inside with Capela. GS strength is that they have KD I don’t see anybody in Houston stopping KD. It will be a great WCF. Though I’d still give GS a slight advantage cause they’ve been on that situation multiple times.
It dont matter either way it will be the hardest series GS ever played and im not saying this because im a rockets fan but if GS beats this rockets team healthy then ill crown them greatest team the last 10 years but i dont see anyway a team is stopping this rockets team who has greatest offense in history so far and just added 2 key players in Johnson and Wright
Robby G. No offense but please don't get caught up in the moment. When those bright lights shine Harden/CP3 choke. Now that they are together,maybe it will be different but if I had to bet on it,GSW in 5. Rockets are a middle class mans Golden State. Trust me if there is one thing I'd like to see,it's that 🐍 losing but won't happen it's Golden State year again.
Imagine Jokic whit 1 really good sharpshooter and one defense beast in team also proper natural playmaker. It wold be funny to watch and they don’t need to be all star caliber player , this team would be amazing
Honestly, some rules has to change ASAP, especially intentionally initiated contact (or even no-contact) shooting fouls...Its total BS getting fouls when defender is not moving extremities nor even touching offensive player...I don't blame players taking advantages of loop holes but those Rockets guards gets 20+ freebie points every game on BS calls (plus its gets opposing teams in foul trouble and enter the bonus) THIS AIN'T BASKETBALL P.S. MVB 4 MVP Rockets D is actually more scary then their O...Hands down best composed roster in NBA they don't have glaring weaknesses opposing teams can exploit
Rockets System: CP3 or Harden handle ball, 1 player inside the 3pt line (Screening) the rest outside 3pt area. If you get the ball, shoot the 3. If not, wait for the screen and play pick&roll.
I bet there's a golden State fan who looked at this video and wanted us to lose but ended up being disappointed and disliked the video and just left haha bitches #rocketsontop👆
Question: how many free throws points did the rockets have out their first 15. And how many free throw points did the opponents have off of their first 15?
I like Harden and I'm rooting for the Rockets to beat the warriors in the playoffs (CP3 needs a ring), BUT Harden travels all the time on his step back 3 shot. Watch the 2:12 mark. He picks up dribble, steps forward (1), steps back with one foot (2), and then replants initial foot (3) and it's not done simultaneously. It's a travel - 3 steps, and he does it every game. Watch any Rockets highlights this season from any game, and you'll see. Stuff like this makes it harder and harder for me to watch the NBA every year. These refs will b quick to call a flop as a foul but they miss multiple travels every night, and obvious ones. It's a joke.
Michael Jordan Well other players need to play better defense. Anyway Jokic is probably one of the greatest talent in past years...Kinda reminder on Larry Bird
Everybody says that Rockets unbeatable and this game shows that it's not.My team almost tied a game so it means that Nuggets had played almost on the same level.I don't say anything about GSW who are still the best team so...
James Harden is easily the best offensive player in Basketball rn Curry is the best shooter but his assist totals and ability to get to the free throw line are low, KD can outscore anybody but he is not a play maker, Westbrook matches Hardens all around game but Harden has better handles and a better shot, Bron is bigger and better but Harden still is a more lethal shooter and gets to the line more Lillard is a elite scorer but his size holds him back and AD can't shoot 3s at a consistent rate

I really don't know who's going to win the West this year. I hope the Rockets stay healthy and make it to the WCF along with GS so we can see an epic conference finals.
Harden, Paul, and Capela are now 30-1...lol
LBJ fan but this guy is winning MVP no debate for that
James Harden is UNGUARDABLE. The problem is he's so crafty that he forces the refs to make calls in his favor. He blurs the line in so many areas. He also makes defenders do dumb shit. It's really remarkable.
jdrobin1
His intelligence on the court is superb... he's a very cerebral player
Left handed power house, easy to shit on right handed people if you got the handles and a decent three.
Very well said, sir.
jdrobin1 no harden is just crybaby
This rockets offense is pure beauty. The best offense to watch hands down
trevon windley nah
milos stojanovic if that's all you see then you don't know basketball
Nuggets!!! SO close, hang in there hopefully make the playoffs this year...this could be a possible playoff match up
Damn...rockets reaping shit it’s gone be an insane playoffs this year. GSW cold, but Harden CP3, and Capela ain’t showing no mercy out here dominating teams!
StupidBarsHomie W
They almost lost this game, they just help by refs making more freethrows. GSW by 5
119 to 114 is hardly winning, the Nuggets figured out how they play during the fourth. Next time these teams match up, I don't think the Rockets will have as smooth as a start as they did this game.
avery kinchlea well they've already played each other 2 or 3 times before, so...
StupidBarsHomie 30-1 when all three play. Unstoppable
Man.. harden really is the best iso player of all time
If the rockets show up in playoffs they finna be a force man
DeMarcus Cousins no they going all the way. No one stopping harden
They will. CP3 is the balancing force for them. Harden will be himself as usual. While Capela will be the difference maker to give them the edge over the Warriors especially.
The Rockets bench is so deep that they will blow away any other 2nd unit.
4th quarter meltdown need to stop, need to keep 10+lead all times.
Yongmin Kong agreed. That Celtics Christmas game forever haunts me
HCC 713 thank god they don't have some one like dame lillard who steals a win from suns.
i agree
Harden + Cp3 + Capella = reAL problem in a 7 game series...
People always say "the rockets stadium is always empty" how is it empty when we got more fans in denvers stadium than nuggets fans?
Pinhead Larry that doesn’t change the fact that our arena is still mainly empty for home games. It’s the harsh truth
HCC 713 but why though
30-1😧😧😧 YUP WE WINNING IT ALL FOLKS
Gotta beat Warriors first which wont be easy
I have faith
Rockets need that number 1 seed to have a chance against them
Man Joe Johnson fits in nicely with the Rockets. Houston is so deep and versatile with the additions of Joe Johnson and Brandan Wright. Houston's bench would have Joe Johnson, Eric Gordon, Luc Mbah a Moute, Ryan Anderson, Gerald Green, and a backup center combo of Nene & Wright.
If harden don't win mvp, he should file an insurance claim for getting robbed so much
pro trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Alfred Uriel yea, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
BEST. TEAM. EVER.
They are the complete version of the Warriors. Their Capela/Nene center combo is the real difference maker. While the back court is arguably the best in the league right now. Plus they have a ton of legit 3 point shooters and solid defense with length (Tucker/Ariza/Mbah).

Why are people on Twitter saying 9:02 is a travel?? He does step back twice, but he picks the ball up after the first step back.

Bruh the calls he gets really show his IQ. People complain about his calls but it's really a testament to his brilliance.
They didn't choke. D'Atoni is just BAD at his rotation units! Joe Johnson should NOT be getting thst many minutes. Gerald Green earned those minutes!

Dang Rockets are deep this season and they’re winning without 3rd option Eric Gordon right now. Denver are no joke this season and I think they can match up evenly with Spurs.

Can they outscore the Warriors tho ?? lol can't u won't beat them by out scoring them. The Warriors have great defenders in Klay and Draymond who can guard Harden. I'm a rockets fan but we need the first seed to have a chance at beating them
Houston has an advantage inside with Capela. GS strength is that they have KD I don’t see anybody in Houston stopping KD. It will be a great WCF. Though I’d still give GS a slight advantage cause they’ve been on that situation multiple times.
Harden play a healthy career 20 years no injuries he's top 7 scoring
Harden+Paul>any other backcourt
DeMarcus Cousins w

Thank you for uploading
Harden makes everything look so easy, he's so good from the three unlike Lebron so he saves a lot of energy taking threes
Adding wright and johnson this rockets is unstoppable
MVP doin work
Imagine Jokic whit 1 really good sharpshooter and one defense beast in team also proper natural playmaker. It wold be funny to watch and they don’t need to be all star caliber player , this team would be amazing
Rockets = 2018 NBA Champions. Just give them the trophy already
Stephanie Chokey crackhead
Honestly, some rules has to change ASAP, especially intentionally initiated contact (or even no-contact) shooting fouls...Its total BS getting fouls when defender is not moving extremities nor even touching offensive player...I don't blame players taking advantages of loop holes but those Rockets guards gets 20+ freebie points every game on BS calls (plus its gets opposing teams in foul trouble and enter the bonus)
THIS AIN'T BASKETBALL
P.S. MVB 4 MVP
Rockets D is actually more scary then their O...Hands down best composed roster in NBA they don't have glaring weaknesses opposing teams can exploit
2:39 Lol Harris was like "Fuck this, I aint dealing with his step backs no more"
Dis dude make this look regular.. I’m not even amazed anymore 😭😭
rockets have the best 3 pt shooting and rebound
Harden is eating jokic alive. :D
Ryan Odchigue MDA loves to work that mismatch. Harden vs centre. He knows he can beat them in the drive because he's has the 3 threat.
Nuggets were figuring them out during the fourth, next Nuggets game won't be so easy for the Rockets
Jokic was dominating him and the whole game tonight
avery kinchlea next game?? lol They don't even play the rockets anymore lmao
Michael Jordan playoffs if it will happen
Harden is the best iso player in the nba rn..it’s like he not even trying lol😭
When Harden do that little jab step you know he finna Tare that ass up.
Rockets System: CP3 or Harden handle ball, 1 player inside the 3pt line (Screening) the rest outside 3pt area. If you get the ball, shoot the 3. If not, wait for the screen and play pick&roll.
Rockets made the Nuggets so frustrated from what it looks like especially with Harden forcing all those fouls.
I bet there's a golden State fan who looked at this video and wanted us to lose but ended up being disappointed and disliked the video and just left haha bitches #rocketsontop👆
Only injuries will stop this team
As a Warriors' fan, I'd love to say " Harden is FUCKING AMAZING this season!" MVP! LOCKED!
Lowkey Harden been cold af tho!
Let’s be honest from since the season start Rockets healthy team just lose one game that’s is interesting numbers
Man I wish Houston still had Cory brewer.

Is Nikola Jokic embarassing himself guarding James Harden?
HARDEN MVP
william hardenbergh no
Google Googler Yes
That was bs, that was a push off
All day Havy
Lebron MVP
"That damn harden" my nuggets looked a lil better in the 4th though
This was a cute victory for the rockets, but it's still Mavs in 5
were's eric gordon?
is he injured?
2018 CHAMPS!!!
Im dead, this Demarcus Cousins account is posting 20 comments a day and no one is replying 😂😂
Lol, those one on one are very effective by rockets

I think james harden is most unstoppable player in nba HISTORY
Down by 6 with 30 seconds left and they are shooting lay ups, then doesnt foul intentionally.
James Harden MVP
Where's Faried?!
they ain't play my boy g green smh :/
Jokic almost got 4 straight triple double but he can’t beat two superstar alone...I mean nuggets guards didn’t do good job on defending 3s
D DŽ He can't beat 2 Superstars?? lol he beat the warriors 2 times this year and they have 4 all stars
Michael Jordan
Well other players need to play better defense. Anyway Jokic is probably one of the greatest talent in past years...Kinda reminder on Larry Bird
D DŽ Pau Millsap will help him when he comes back in a couple of weeks
Everybody says that Rockets unbeatable and this game shows that it's not.My team almost tied a game so it means that Nuggets had played almost on the same level.I don't say anything about GSW who are still the best team so...
James Harden is good, but that boy travels more than any other player in the NBA. His sidestep jumpshot is just a really quick travel
They not beating the warriors
joseph nieves
Weird. Could’ve sworn I saw it happen twice this year.
If LeBron wanted a another championship, he should've gone to Rockets
Giannis for MVP!!!
Oh wait wrong video
12th straight lets go!
Harden has steroids in that beard 😂😂
James Harden is easily the best offensive player in Basketball rn Curry is the best shooter but his assist totals and ability to get to the free throw line are low, KD can outscore anybody but he is not a play maker, Westbrook matches Hardens all around game but Harden has better handles and a better shot, Bron is bigger and better but Harden still is a more lethal shooter and gets to the line more Lillard is a elite scorer but his size holds him back and AD can't shoot 3s at a consistent rate
Murray got on the LGBT 2's 😂😂
champion for the rockets
9:02 that look like a travel
harden MVP!!!!
