    Love the drives! If the refs are going to call it tight inside take it into the paint!

    Our offense and defense look more fluid and natural than OKC right now. Our system looks better all things considered

    Overall a decent quarter, a few more shots and we'd be BLOWING THEM OUT.

    Good energy, defense, and rebounding. I am pleasantly surprised, although I wish someone would calibrate their scope.

    Rivers and Gordon should keep driving, they are running at 3 pointers which open up the key

    Rockets +4 with Harden on the bench. Pleasantly surprised!

    Can they keep up this intensity? We're undersized everywhere so our effort determines how well we play defense.
