    WB and Harden r coming back to where their NBA career began to face CP3, the discarded sidekick.

    Gonna b a fun game, sucks that it's a b2b for us though.

    We gonna pull it out w/ a win though.

    The Thunder are red hot right now. Rockets really need to bury them. Unfortunately, if they lose, I think it will be like the Christmas game loss to the Warriors where ridiculous narratives will sprout up. I could see every ESPN show on the morning discussing "Are the Thunder already better than the Rockets?"

    Let’s go Rockets

    I’m sure Russ will play better. He will bring his A game. Russ will want to prove that the Rockets made the right move. As long as they don’t play disinterested and are focused they will win like against Phili and Denver. But if they play like tonight they will get the L.

    I miss Chris Paul in a Rockets jersey, I always will. But lets bury him and the Thunder tomorrow.

    MDA ran a 7 man rotation against the worst team in the league on the first day of a back to back. Very dumb. All the guys played 35+ minutes.

    Westbrook being back will help, and he’s probably going to want to put on a show for OKC’s crowd, but gonna be a tough game on the back to back. OKC has been real good lately.

    I luv CP3 and his game, and can feel for him and his status quo that is back to where he started.

    We'll be tired come May, you best believe that. For now, I hope Westbrook just plays his game and won't get too emotional and trying too hard to prove he's better than CP3 or that the Thunder made a mistake.

    Game and Narrative could go both ways.

    But you know, at least CP3 and WB will show up, both are competitors playing their Exes.

    Rockets got the better superstars, OKC got a talent in Shai Gilgeous Alexander.

    OKC fans worships Russ. Hopefully they stay classy.

    Big match up, looking forward to this one.
