    Damn, Westbrook jumped up and decided to float for a while before throwing it down. What a f*cking athlete! And what a great pass + cut!

    Convinced capeala trade was more about waiving Nene unofficially than anything else!

    I thought that was great.

    While Rockets fans were witnessing elite basketball, Jazz fans got an update on what one of the top 3 players in their franchise history was upto this week.

    Worthy of receiving a technical for being too good.

    Where is the highlight of the great pass by Ingles to Westbrook?

    So good that Westbrook thanked him with a very polite "Nice pass".

    That is absolutely crazy on their part. That owner and Presti managed to lose not one but 3 MVPs to be. Who does that?!?

    A viable lob threat makes the Harden drives much more dangerous as it is another pick your poison decision on the defence. And to be honest I was getting sick of Beard getting mauled or blocked when he gets in the paint. MJ in this era of basketball would be getting 20 to 30 free throws a game and no one would bat an eyelid.

    Brodie with the Beastbrook special. Good times.

    Russ is a phenom, sorry to be picking nits lol

    Lob threat also needs to be able to space floor/shoot 3's AND switch on D.

    Those two are playing like one entity is amazing to see. That's going to be dangerous. That is something that was missing when Chris Paul was here.

    The alley-oop was pretty dope. One of the best highlights this season.

    Westbrook could be in the dunk contest! It should not be understated how his ability to play above the rim in comparison to CP3 and with Capela now is something that helps us tremendously and makes for a great aesthetically pleasing game :) The dunk itself was just crazy, I was thinking Westbrook jumped in case of a miss by Harden, it was really out of nowhere and Harden's oop passes are top of the league!

    But cf was convinced that 2 damn good players couldnt play well together!

    Sure - It took a half season and opening up the freeway for wb but here we are!

    There is a long long list of people here that said wb harden wont work.

    Going to be funny to see all the backtracking.. in meantime clamoring for it to fail.

    Lots of haters here still mad that this working out. Its weird.
    You know every stat of the vipers, you have your entire cubicle decorated in rockets gear. Yet deep inside you wish and want failure. Its strange man.

    Smoove connection my ass.

    The Roid Droids is more like it.

    Wade's jaw should have been banned ages ago.

    NBA needed to measure Jaws in addition to true heights this season.
