    Man, all you dudes need to just find a middle ground, we are at our best WITH HARDEN AND CP. Yall dont need crap on Harden or CP when we win without either.

    Old school win. Our PG was the best player on the floor (despite their 4 all stars), and our guys scrapped harder than theirs.

    What a great win! I'm proud of this team... this should give the bench more confidence in themselves, and James more confidence in his supporting cast. What a fantastic performance by CP3 as well, who I hope is getting back to his reliable greatness.

    I hope this also inspires Morey and Tilman to bring House back and give the Rockets the best possible chance of winning it all.

    This season is the best evidence I've ever seen that you can't predict the future. If you see a chance to win the championship, you should go for it. Some great players never even get as close as Harden did last year to a ring.

    No doubt you are entitled to your subjective opinion. But game to game, there are different duds and heroes. This game was great. But Harden has carried this team for years. One game doesn't change that.

    Couldn't play Cousins in the 4th.

    Faried needs to start.

    Gordon to the bench.

    CP3 is back to being an All star - excited to see how we come out against Atlanta.

    They can deny it all they want, but at this point we are totally IN. THEIR. HEADS.

    All that Morey talk about building a team to take down the Warriors, combined with our actually beating them more often than not the last couple of years, has them subconsciously wondering when it's going to happen.

    The next time some chump calls Chris Paul trash? We should collectively carry the fool to a dumpster, toss him or her in head first, and slam the lid down.

    We can take Oakland in a 7 game series. Our guys just need to get there. The Wankers are damn good, but we have their number, in my humble opinion.

    I'm actually starting to worry more about the other teams we would have to beat to win it all.

    CP3 in this game showed how lucky the Worriers are that he got injured last season. Up 3-2 in that playoff series, we were going to send them fishing. For some reason, CP3 is X-factor against these guys, with all due respect to MVP.

    These types of games tell me how we'll be as a playoff team.

    Remember that
    Nobody is saying he's not a willing passer. What they're saying is that instead of purely dominating the ball, James should let others create within the flow of the offense. This also means being willing to play off the ball instead of only participating if the ball is in his hands.

    There's something to being actively involved in the offense that lets role players like Tucker (and even EG to an extent) hit shots. Call it rhythm, or staying mentally engaged, or whatever - it makes a difference. Telling PJ to dial up a catch and shoot 3 after not touching the ball for 5 possessions in a row is a problem.

    You picked up on what I'm thinking. It may seem weird to some, but I'm more afraid of us blowing a series before we face Oakland than I am of the Wankers.

    Watching this game...Cousins most certainly doesn't make them better against us. He just creates another guy we can expose on the perimeter.

    Offensively, any shot he takes is better than Curry or Durant taking it.

    I thought it would be this way when he signed there, and early evidence supports it.

    LOL a whole lot of people thought that Faried should start with Tucker instead of Gordon. Many of us have been complaining about the small ball lineup with 3 guards since last year. Our coach is just a stubborn old mule. Maybe, and its a small maybe, he will finally see the light. Don't hold your breath on that hope though.

    Lakers needed one of the worst regular-season screwjobs I've seen to beat us, as shown in NO tonight.
