TrailBLAZERS 95 ROCKETS 110 F...NIKE Basketball's "FEAR the BEARD" #13 @JHarden13 gives RIP City the #REDNation MONDAY Special a 44-Piece with 4 SIDES and those 4 Sides were Spalding MONEY BALLS!..."LOGO WATCH" chilling with the NIKE ZOOM Crusader wearing JAMES HARDEN! #PORvsHOU #BLAZERMania #ClutchCity @NikeBasketball

Christmas is the season for giving and the Rip City Blazers knew James Harden alias "Fear the Beard" #13 of Nike Basketball was trying to give them something Santa and Mrs. Claus had nothing to do with. Harden had 19 of his game-high 44 points in the 1st frame slicing and dicing his way to the rim like a "Slinky" moving down on the Stairs!

The Rockets simply blew the roof off the Toyota Center making it Drop Top 2015 Corolla with all the Extras including a "Fear the Beard" Kit in the Driver's Seat as Red Nation led 73-52 at the break. Harden 44 points came on 14 for 26 from the field and 4 for 9 from Sugarland, Texas. "Dwight Howard added 16 points and thirteen boards.

The Blazers having better days takes that 44-piece from Harden as Damian Lillard had 13 points and 2013 top Rip City pick C.J. McCollum added 17. Blazers need a practice on Tuesday with no Spalding Oranges with those 22 turnovers coming out of the motel and that is unacceptable from a team that is leading the Northwest at 22-7 as we go to press.

The Rockets move to 20-7 as they must keep winning playing in the best division in the Logo the Southwest...
