    Lol. Harden is almost 37 years old. This isn't his team it's Mitchell's. Anyone expecting Harden at this stage to ball out is absolutely delusional. Mitchell is the one in his prime and the one getting paid to be the guy It's time for him and Mobley to show something. Mobley 100% needs to make up for literally giving game 6 away.

    I full expect both Harden and Mitchell to struggle today. The Raptors have a lot of athletic rangy defensive guys and they have been giving the two of them fits all series long.

    Mitchell has played well at home, really sucked in Toronto

    Home
    27 ppg on 51% FG

    Road
    19ppg on 36% FG

    Also he has only attempted 14 free throws in the whole series

    Mobley picking up where he left off in game 6. He's got to be better.

    Donovan Mitchell has been awful this series, and he’s not hurt

    Mobley has been right behind him. Although I like Mobleys assertiveness today so far.

    It's a shame dumbass Stone traded the 2nd round pick that ended up being Jamal Shead for headcase AJ Griffin who didn't even make it to the opening roster. You had all the Houston people including me begging for Stone to pick the local UH product. He would've been perfect...plays the tenacious defense that Udoka craves while also being a great shooter. I'm guessing Stone didn't even scout him though.

    Dean Wade 0 points and a -16 in 12 minutes

    Donovan Mitchell 7 points on 9 shots

    Evan Mobley 6 points and 4 turnovers

    only guys somewhat showing up are Merrill, Strus, Tyson, and Harden

    I was just thinking while watching the halftime show, I don’t think Carmelo Anthony ever played in a game 7

    Rockets offered full Mle to Dean Wade before they got denied and it went to DFS.

    also it’s time to start saying, Jalen Green is better than Evan Mobley.

    I know. Just shows you how dumb Stone is in evaluating talent. Lol


    Before the 2025 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets pursued a trade for Cavaliers forward Dean Wade, offering a significant package that likely included a full mid-level exception extension (approx. $14M/year). The Cavaliers declined the offer for the versatile forward. Following this, Houston pivoted to sign Dorian Finney-Smith.
