I'm ashamed to be a Miami heat fan tonight after that very embarrassing loss to the Celtics. We are still lucky to have the 3rd seed thanks to Washington beating Atlanta. Miami needs to make some quick changes now before playoffs start on Sunday. We can not blow a huge lead like that in the playoffs. #heatnation

Harden may be averaging 28-8-6 but his Defense rating on 2k is what's bringing his overall down

[Ichrizzzzz]

we needa play more like this against the warriors

[cwboyslife]

First round is going to be fun to watch

[JuanGomez-trpq]

i just want to see harden go off in the playoffs

[rbeegaming]

Utah is currently 40-41 and rockets 41-41, and the jazz are playing right now, if they win they make the playoffs

[kinggam]

Last year's WCF is this year's first round. I sense a great playoffs ahead for everyone.

[nekhmerXViet]

Rockets better thank Kobe for going MAMBA mode, eliminating the jazz out of the playoffs

[lshooterl]

If this guy does not win MVP I don't know anymore. Harden is averaging Michael Jordan numbers in a depleted Rockets team for 82 games to lead them in a tough West playoffs. 30 ppg 6 reb 6 ass 3 stl if that is not MVP then I quit NBA

[ItzBlackace]

I just hope Houston plays well to attract some FA.
