How about PJ Tucker? Missed his shot, but might have been the second most valuable player for Houston last night after Chris Paul.

He's basically playing the entire game, too. Didn't score except for a handful of FTs, but he got 16 boards. Houston only played 7 guys last night.
Go Suns!

Great win for the Rockets. Mike D played 6.5 guys in that game, though. Major minutes. Curious if it catches up to his guys (such as gimpy CP3) in the next game.

Gross. I thought I watched the whole game but I never saw the half a guy out there.

Harden only plays on one end of the floor so he counts as 0.5.

If that was the case, why didn't GS score more than 12 points in the 4th last night? I imagine that they would go after Harden all night.

I hate foul hunting. But I kinda like that Curry gave Rockets a taste of their medicine.

Harden and Paul are terrible in this half. Especially Paul.

Yup. Unfortunately GSW (mainly KD) do this a lot as well.

When PJ doesnt think he's a scorer, he's pretty dang useful. All that end to end shit he tried to do here was so stupid.

KD really hogs the ball this series. They throw it to him over and over just because he has a smaller guy on him, like Gordon or Ariza. But posting up KD usually leads to a low-percentage shot, and it leaves everybody else standing around.

All time great shooter KD posting up, low percentage shot. Future Sun Deandre Ayton posting up, low percentage shot, everyone stands around. :shock:
