    Are you even aware that 2 of our best 3 players are injured? We didn't even have a center to start the game tonight and we still won!!

    More like when CP3 and CC come back (and with Manimal as backup bigman) we go on a long winning streak.

    Shoutout for my man Ennis tonight. I still believe!

    Man I forgot how well Eric and Harden play well together. Both those guys carried us with great contributions from Ennis and Tucker

    If we play defense from the start we win by 10.

    I have a big man-crush on James Harden more now then before the game. He is such a class act. 9/10 players would kill for the 2 points to get the 50. He just wants to win. He is the BEST ROCKET EVER

    Total steal of a win after blowing it big vs the Nets.

    Come back soon CP3! Morey, get the Melo trade done and bring on Faried!

    And Tony Brothers will go off silently into the night, job failed.

    But won't ever be spoken about.

    I really wish the league would make rules about bench players jumping up. I hate seeing it when a guy shoots a corner 3 right in front of an opposing bench.

    It was infuriating seeing McGee the goof jumping up right before our players went up in their motion to release the ball down the stretch. F*cking clown.

    They stole one tonight. What Harden is doing right now with defenses keying on him is amazing. He's having an all-time great season, and yes, it's better than last year.

    We are at the point where 30 points from EGO is more impressive than 48 points from Jim. Go Rockets!

    Great win but I had a hard time seeing a foul committed by LA on Harden on his last drive when I watched it on replay slow-mo?

    It's only going to serve as another example by haters on how Harden gets phantom calls.

    For people shtting on Tucker, and Ennis. Ennis made a sht ton of shots, granted he did that dumb ass alley oop to nene. Tucker made kuzma disappear after the half.

    WASTED EFFORTS FOR THESE HATERS!!!
    Haha. Can’t believe I just watched that. I couldn’t celebrate until the time ran out. I just couldn’t convince myself that the nets loss wouldn’t suck some life out of us. Yes I know this blew up in my face and I am so grateful it did.

    @Tfor3 :)
