    It sure was nice to wake up feeling better about the Rockets. Wow, seeing Eric get his shot back was great! I never get tired of watching the "Roadrunner" Russ leave his defenders in the dust. The biggest shocker for me was seeing Harden take it inside a lot more.

    I've been waiting for this adjustment forever it seems, especially after some almost unwatchable, unbearable 3pt brickfests lately.
    If only House could learn to drive in for a layup, instead of just passing if not wide open from the arc.

    This week is going to be a fun one. I can't wait to play Utah and Dallas. Adding in another game against a broke Denver and it's the cherry on top.

    Give Harty some real time MDA. Harty and no Clint is better than McLemore and House (Offensively and defensively)

    Let's just hope it doesn't fool Tilman into thinking we are fine before the trade deadline. An upgrade at wing is what we need.

    i'm quite scared of us making moves at this point. haven't had a good track record the past couple of years.

    I'd still blow up most of the bench for sth better, that is just me.

    Not able to trade Eric is going to be the theme this season.

    I disagree. I mean MCW and melo didnt work out but morey has been pretty clutch with in-season acquisitions.

    Provided the officials make the calls. They weren't in many of the previous 6 or 7 games. They were last night.

    I agree with you on how well Russ is fitting in. It's great how much he's changed his game to get better. And how about the shooting show Gordon put on last night?! I had lots of fun hearing about it.

    yup. the difference is LTS is now the motive behind the moves. before Tilman it wasn't. Morey is handcuffed on what he can really do.

    Thanks for the pics! Glad y'all tried to talk trash. It's a lost art in our society.

    It's fascinating, isn't it? I'm sure it says something about the collective psyche of the GARM, but that's not something I'm eager to delve into. Hey, at least it was a win. I was playing trivia on 6th street last night after coming back from a vacation, or I would have added at least a page or two. Maybe. ;-)

    Great game. But come playoff time what time are we getting, this one or the one that lost to the Thunder?

    Looks like Plan B worked for the night and should be the new Plan A. ;)
