    If wb can hit that midrange when harden is double we would be so unstoppable.

    Sad but true. Siakam was nowhere to be found after Harden started covering him in the 2nd half.

    The Rockets need all those extra rebounds as a make up for Russ's pathetically awful shooting

    You're not making sense dude. If this was just a result of going against a bad rebounding team (It's not, they are 11th) then Westbrook wouldn't be averaging 7 rebounds a night.

    In fact you could argue it'd be higher if he wasn't on a team with Clint Capela who has turned into one of the best rebounders in the league.

    He usually boards like a madman. Doesn't seem to have hampered Capela any; this looks like it'll be Capela's best rebounding year yet. Maybe Russ taught him some moves?

    Shout out to MDA for continuing to start BMAC with House coming back. They both played great.

    EDIT: House is still sick

    I’m done with him too. We win because Harden is so damn good. That’s it.

    We could have kept McHale and had the exact same results.

    Anyway, nice win against a solid opponent! I’m really glad to see us take the W without harden having to shoot 30 shots.

    Glad the Rockets are getting to see the double team on harden early in the year. They just need to come up with and perfect the perfect offensive scheme.

    I believe you! I trust your judgement. I must congratulate you, Inspector, on handling so distinctive and instructive a case. Your powers, if I may say so without offence, seem superior to your opportunities.

    Right, if anything Capela is taking away from Russ's rebounds as Russ was averaging over 10 the past 3 seasons.

    They're probably still thinking of the Harden Footlocker commercial. "Defensive!? Why would I be defensive?"

    Which is why I was curious in either the SA or Heat game about what the rebounding per 100 possession rate was for offense and defense, this year for the Rockets players, compared to last year's. There's a few confounding factors to account for. And I guess look at the rates for WB on the Thunder.

    Like i said before, you want Russ during a game, but not near the end of a game.
