    Since benching Melo -- 24 games -- Rockets are destroying the league on offense, ORtg > 3ppg more than 2nd place team.

    And, they just dominated the Top Defense and 3rd Best Defense in the league without Paul.

    Top ORtg (130) and Pts scored (127) vs Boston
    5th Best ORtg (109.7) vs OKC

    Has Austin Rivers made CP3 obsolete? :D

    I really love Austin.With him, our rotation team is more flexible, JH and EG can get more rest time.
    JH still plays like a beast, dominating the game.

    Good chemistry and team atmosphere, we are moving in the right direction.
    Everyone comes on with a positive and enthusiastic mood to play their part.

    Harden has taken his game to another level and Morey is slowly putting together another great supporting cast around him. If CP3 gets all the way back to where he was last year, this team has a shot to get back to the WCF and pose a threat to the Ws.

    He’s still deferring a tad but that’ll change. He’s been a spark, guy is nails on D, everything we needed. Other guys feed off his energy

    You mean James harden is the number 1 offence. Dude scores and generates the most points in the league every season

    Once NBA stats recalculates the full season stats to include tonight's games, Rockets might even leap frog to #1 in the league for whole season...probably no lower than #3.

    This is obviously Austin Rivers's team.

    Building around Austin Rivers is not tanking. It's WINNING!

    Who needs State Farm when we have Rivers.
