We never have an answer for teams like this. They play too unconventional and our guys are pretty dumb, doesn't work out too great.

The over/under on Harden travelling no calls + phantom fouls in his favor is set at 19.

Harden needs to be stopped. Rah rah ree, kick him in the knee. Rah rah rass, kick him in the other knee.

I hate watching Houston play basketball. Not only Harden’s theatrics but Chris Paul is a whiny flopper.

Is there another player other than Chris Paul that has accomplished so little while being a generational type player? Plus he is loathed by most fans it seems too.

Re: **** Official Houston Rockets (33-23) vs. MN Timberwolves (26-30) *****
So there has always been a bit of acknowledge rigging of the game. Vets get foul calls, rookies don't. Also stars don't get called for fouls or travels at the same rate as role players. With Harden the league has gone to what can only be described as WWE level of authenticity. The fans see it night in and night out, the travels, the offensive fouls, getting fouls called on his defender that clearly were not fouls. It is disgusting to me (and I have watched several of the games on this streak,) that the league so brazenly allows him to cheat because it is good for ratings. You can argue about whether the lottery is rigged, you cannot argue that James Harden games are rigged.

Wiggins will miss his 2nd straight game due to illness.
And possibly mental health related factors
