    Great win.

    Should be 4 in a row right now. Toronto was getting the championship whistle and Houston pulled thru. Well done. Russ please be smarter.

    I await EGs return and hopefully he will take away some of those shot attempts from Westbrook. WB does not need to shoot more than 14 times a game. He makes the game tough to watch with his inefficiency.

    I just don’t see how you can possibly say this based on how this season has gone with him and the advanced statistics that support it.

    But hey...hope you’re right

    Good win. I'm not sure if Westbrook will understand what it will take from him for the Rockets to actually be contenders come playoff time.

    If you add the dunk from the Spurs game and subtract the Gasol goaltending the Rockets won 121-107. So I'm going to consider this a boring win.

    Hope this game gives B-Mac a confidence boost in that shot to carry us from outside till Ego gets back, House gets right, and Russ gets the electroshock therapy needed to do what we need him to do.

    Good win against a solid team.

    On a sidenote, I think the Raptors commentators were objective. Credits.

    I would keep Ben as a starter and bring House and Gordon as firepower off the bench.

    Good win considering Harden didn't go Harden, Capela only had 13 rebs, Gordon didn't play, and we played against a pretty good team. McLemore making me drool pretending to be the steal I wished he'd be. lol.

    Dude made a few good passes to get us up 10. One was a cross court pass to Tucker, another on the break, then that hockey assist from pushing the ball up to Harden for the deep open 3.

    His shooting is wack and he's out of control sometimes but he does add pace to the team that it simply didn't have before and he definitely contributes to rebounding, an area the team sucked at last year. He rebounds better than many bigs.

    The hate is strong and for one of the few players that actually wanted to play with Harden in Houston.

    just because he didn't score 40 doesn't mean he didnt go harden. harden was great tonight. super efficient and made all the right reads all night being doubled

    that's the definition of harden being harden

    I thought it was just jumpers, but damn, the dude misses a LOT of layups. It's so frustrating.

    Great win , I really would like to see us get some guy's minutes down.

    When Gordon comes back House at backup 4 is gonna be a game-changer

    Until then play clark or hartenstein
