    I kind of get it from Harden's point. He gave it a few chances and had an opportunity to team up with a mega talent and a friend, so why not? Especially before he gets too old to make legit runs at titles. I also enjoy it because Morey can go deal with that 3-headed beast now. Hell, they can both go deal with one another while I watch another era unfold here. Hopefully a successful one.

    Sticking PJ in the corner? Nobody sticks PJ in a corner.

    For real though, he's not great finishing amongst the trees but at least he has to be guarded. Being unable to double off him pays dividends that you may not be seeing. Leave him in the corner and our offense suddenly is far more predictable. I'd rather him do what he's doing. It's not like they're running plays depending on him to finish 10 times a game.

    In the long term the East would still have been easier than the West in the postseason.

    Yeah, he can relax at times and have Ky and Durant take over.

    Should've tanked.

    That Hayes alleyoop was ridiculous. Top 10 dunk on the year candidate.

    No really, are we just showcasing? Or...

    W.O.W... (Wall, Oladipo, Wood)

    Rockets were outscored every quarter except the 2nd where they outscored NO 48-22. Forty-Eight points!!

    Five Game winning streak

    Rockets are depending on a bunch of injury-plagued players but if those guys stay healthy.... oh my.

    He's a Longhorn. Longhorns tend towards this kind of activity.

    I didn't think he was going to dunk it but he absolutely crushed it on a reverse! That's the fiercest tomahawk I've seen live in a while. Most of the time you gotta check replays to catch the monsters.

    Take off your Brown PJ's and call your Cousins, Tate! Pickup Wood from Home Dipo, drive back to the House and build that nice Wall. Ben your knees More when releasing the Kurucs-Gordon! You'll become a fine Mason or Porter soon enough. Brodi my guy, read up on Dante's Inferno and bring back the Hart & fire like old man KJ Martin used to do! Darn, where did I leave my Bruno Mars cd? Nwaba daba doo!

    Two observations from our game:

    1: From 4:23 left in the second quarter to half we scored 24 points
    2: I don't know if Steven Adams is talking trash, but he wore Harden Vol 4's against us LOL... if that was a trash talking move... props

    I love that about this team! It's not a one man show. It's a 5 man show at all times. Our defense is a beauty to watch. You know what else I love? Our future!!! Our veterans, and so much young talent. So much grit and energy on that court. Last, but not least, I love having not one, but two centers who can shoot the 3, and actually make free throws over 55%. Wood .379 3pt% / .698 FT%. Cousins .300 3pt% / .750 FT%. That's a first, isn't it? LOL


    Guess what? Brown is shooting .456 from behind the arc!!

    In still counting on KPJ to come through so a trade might not be necessary.

    I wish we could find some time for Mason Jones. Hurts me to see such a good shooter on the bench, but it's hard to take minutes from anybody else.

    Hopefully House continues to play well along with Tucker and they could be sent off in a package, possibly with Dante Exum.

    If Nwaba misses a game or two with his sprained ankle, would be great to call KPJ back up and see what he can do...

    i am betting you any money silas could find minutes for him but its contract negotiations 99%... management prolly cant let him explode now before signing him for a few years for as little as money as possible
