    Great thing about that is alot of the time this season we will see that play vice versa. Paul will also find Harden who has turned into a deadly three point shooter this season. There is no other backcourt in the nba that has the best two play makers in the league and two 40% 3pt shooters. Hell we also got EG who is the best three point shooter out of those three guys coming off the bench.

    This was a great win. MDA played 10 in the 1st half. o_O Harden & Paul worked well together. Paul can make spot up 3's & he'll plenty of them playing with Harden. the 2nd team D is great. WOW! I'm excited about this season! What! You say we have a home stand coming up!?! Oh, well. There goes the season.

    Is Harden 3 point shooting for real?

    Memphis inexplicably left him wide open a few times in the first half.

    Seeing the way Paul plays on defense is a joy to watch. It's aggressive but he doesn't over commit like bev. After that 3 point play he told everybody to bring their ass in the huddle to talk about the defensive mistakes on the other end. Personality wise he's the perfect compliment to Harden. Harden loves the game of basketball but CP is a perfectionist.

    48 minutes of hof pg play enough to make a grown man cry let's get it!

    The rockets are damn good and clearly imo the 2nd best team in the NBA.

    Is it good enough to beat the warriors 4x? I don't know but at this point I wouldn't put it past them. They look like golden state when they lock in on the less glamorous side of the ball. The big difference this season is they actually can play elite defense when they want to compared to years past.

    The offense is just as good as golden state now that cp3 is a back. It's different but just as effective.

    To me, it looks much smoother.

    In November:
    • 7 out of 9 games making 6+ threes (49-110)
    • At 44.5%

    He shot 39 percent his last season as a Thunder, so he definitely can shoot it well if he doesn't get tired.

    Chris hasn't even played at home yet. All 3 games he's played have been on the road. Can't wait to see the home crowd cheer him on the court.
