    This could be a big statement game for James.

    Great news. We have a game.

    My big next question is who is going to get up off the bench?

    Will it be Weber again or will we maybe try Brown or Jackson? It's going to be one of those guys, right?

    And do we have a healthy big in Zhou Qi or Onuaku?

    First we need our rotation players to step up, particularly Ariza, Anderson, and Tucker.

    But there are going to be real minutes for someone that's been glued to our bench. Could one of them break out and be the X-factor?

    It wouldn't be the first time. I'm excited about this game knowing we have Clint back.

    Harden, Gordon, Ariza, Anderson, Capela, Tucker, Nene, Black, and a player or two to be named later is a team we know how to win with.

    More like another embarrassing horrible showing from Harden on national TV, considering his past performances against PG13 & Roberson.

    I think it would have to be weber again. Brown wont be able to stay infront of RW so webers defense gives him the nod IMO.
    Id like to see what jacksons got though.
    I think Clint being back gives us a chance, because they would have dominated us inside. Lets go!!

    Without CP3 it’ll be tough but we are 11-4 with Clint and Harden and 12-1 on the road

    Wait, “tough to believe Harden is not the MVP leader right now”?

    I don't dislike Hubie on the call because he's anti-Rockets; I dislike him because he's close to senile.

    there's a store/building called "Brickopolis" right across from the thunder's arena? that's delicious synergy.


    harden only has negative statement games. 40/11 will be forgotton very soon after if any other narrative can be found. 22/5 with 8 turnovers will be remembered for the rest of the season.
