![]() ![]() There is almost an expectation in league circles that Harden will be a Rocket next season, though nobody feels anything is decided. This is a situation now where we’re going to see which way it lands.”īoth league sources NBC Sports has spoken with and other media members traveling with the NBA Finals - Harden has been a topic of conversation over meals - think Houston is the frontrunner. Philadelphia is going to have a window earlier, potentially going in and scheduling meetings. This is a guy that you would assume would sit down with both teams. That’s why as we get closer to July 1, June 30th, those conversations that he’s going to have, as he becomes a free agent, with Nick Nurse and with Daryl Morey, what their vision is for him, what their vision is for that team, what that offer ultimately is going to be versus comparing it to whatever Houston comes with on June 30th or July 1, those are all very important factors. I think whichever way it goes, it’s going to be relatively close. “My sense right now is this is someone that is torn. They’re going to have a ton of money and I think this is a team in Houston where I do believe they are going to be aggressive in the marketplace. That’s where his roots are and his family there of course. I really think he’s torn with the prospect of staying in Philadelphia or moving on to Houston potentially and returning back to his home. CT.“We’re less than a month out from free agency starting. The Rockets have a chance to stretch MDA’s record on Thursday when the Blazers come to town. This is the highest win total of Mike D’Antoni’s coaching career and he has displayed a strong case to repeat as Coach of the Year. ![]() With the win, Houston improves to 63-15 with four games to play. There will likely be an update tomorrow on his status, but I would not expect to see him until the playoffs for precautionary reasons. Anderson sprained his ankle in the first half after five scoreless minutes. The one negative on the night was Ryan Anderson’s ankle sprain. ![]() had decent nights but it was not enough for Washington tonight. Their 17 turnovers compared to Houston’s nine also played a big role in why the team was in such a hole to begin with.īradley Beal had a solid night with 27 points on 10-15 shooting but the rest of the team did not complement him as well. Washington took 12 shots fewer than Houston and was beaten on the glass 46-36. Washington was trying to play catch-up all night but could not match the volume of the Rockets. The Washington Wizards have wrapped up their playoff spot, so it seemed like the team was not incredibly bothered to put it all on the line, especially when it went down double digits late in the first quarter. From the floor, the team shot 51.2 percent, a significant improvement from the last two games. As a team, the Rockets shot 16-46, good for 34.8 percent from downtown. Harden only has four more games to wrap up his MVP case and tonight he did a good job proving why he deserves that title.Ĭomplementing Harden tonight was Clint Capela, who crafted a 21-point, 10-rebound evening and Gerald Green, who was beating to the drum of 16 points off the bench, including a 4-8 night from beyond the arc. ![]() The MVP favorite posted an impressive 12-18 from the floor, including a 5-8 shooting performance from downtown that led to 38 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. Leading the charge tonight was James Harden, which was not a surprise, but he got the invisible monkey off his back, especially from behind the three-point line. Tonight, the Rockets went back to their brand of basketball and got out of the shooting slump they had been in for the past few games. The team’s win tonight was much-needed after their lackluster effort on Sunday afternoon against the Spurs. The Rockets got the wire-to-wire victory over the Wizards Tuesday night at Toyota Center, grabbing the 120-104 win. ![]()
