    Very early season vs early season....

    Rockets defense has gotten massively better, plus Harden's efficiency found law average.

    Overall, Beard's law average seems better than his usual average. His handle is better. His floater is better. His stepback has more variances, thus better and perhaps his stroke more efficient anyway.

    His teammates might be better, overall.

    Rockets still undefeated this season in games in which Hartenstein plays meaningful minutes.

    It is my duty to jinx the Rockets into success. It must be done.

    First time since the 2014-15 season that Ben McLemore had back to back 20 point games

    Watching the Raptors play the Mavs. How'd they lose Kawhi and still have Siakem, Anonuby, Powell and Hollis-Jefferson. Four guys that fill that 3-4 need we can't seem to find.

    Great Game! Harden balled. We had a backup 1, 3, 5, and backup of backup 1, 5 playing and still manhandled a solid Wolves team.
    Perhaps we're deeper than we think?

    yeah the thing is these guys have proven they can contribute if given minutes

    MDA has never proven he can extend his rotation

    Everybody came to play. Our bench players impressed me tonight. Clemons with a .636 FG% was my shocking bench player of the game. Tonight that little guy impressed me. Now I am a believer. Give him the green light to shoot the 3's all night. Can you imagine if he had taken 41 shots like James instead of just 11???? He might have scored 80 pts.

    As for Hartenstein, well I've been waiting forever to see MDA finally give him a shot. Who knows how long he would have waited if Clint hadn't gotten hurt. He just proved he is more than just a bench warmer G League frequent flyer kinda player.

    As for Anderson, well if they just want to use him as a cheerleader then trade him. I don't know why they even brought him back if they had no intent on using him even with half our starters out. It still blows my mind that less than 2 years ago he was a starter on our team shooting .386 from behind the arc. The mystery of the starter to cheerleader role should be a made for TV movie titled "Whatever happened to Ryan Anderson?"

    I feel much better about our depth now. We really look good. Man, we just beat the Timberwolves without Westbrook, Gordon, Clint, and House!!! Our team is amazing!! I am so happy right now. 7 in a row baby!! Go Rockets!!!

    Yeah, they showed him didn't they? I don't get MDA sometimes. I'm glad they proved their worth when he had no choice but to let them play.

    Tired of hearing Harden and the Rockets not performing during playoffs. Did their realize the Rox went
    into a team which had 4 all-stars in 4 out of last 5 playoffs and gave a good fight every time?
    Hate those comments.
