    100% the offense is so incredible i mean both are playing great games at the same night. BUT this defense so many rotations missed by harden, so many times russ not properly switching. Fournier was harden's man for most of that quarter and just wide open shots

    Either fournier or ross goes off every time the rockets play the magic

    Fournier is the only reason they are in the game. Set it up so his defender doesn't leave him even on a switch or keep someone glued on him at all times.

    Fournier is such a great shooter, he is having a great season. He is the only reason they are close

    But geniuses on CF are demanding Rockets trade Capela for a tall white guy who can only shoot 3's.

    Defense be damned, not enough impact with better all round more athletic defensive minded players.

    Man I understand why some of you guys didn't like the idea of how Westbrook would fit but you guys gotta admit... he is a f'in beast when he is in attack mode on the break to the basket.

    That first half was the manifestation of what we expected when westbrook initially came to the rockets.

    Russ dominating the fast break and harden dominating in the half court.

    Man, not liking this year's Harden. He's really turned into a ball hog and chucker. Only halftime and he already has 16 attempted field goals. He might never win a ring because of that unwillingness to adjust and help his team get into rhythm like a lot of superstars do (Giannis, Kawhi, LeBron, etc.).

    The team is shooting 55% FG, 58% on threes and 87% FT. Keep doing the same on offense, Stay glued to Fornier or make him drive each time and focus on positional defense.
