    Thank you.

    We're not remotely close to how strong we'll be by the end of the season.

    This was a good short handed win against a team that gives us problems.

    The West is ours for the taking...healthy, along with another forward or two via trade/buy out/free agency.

    I’m excited for Gordon to get back to help space the floor and take some of Westbrook’s shots.

    Something's just off with this team. Even in victory they look downtrodden or something. Chemistry just doesn't seem to be there.

    I agree, but I'm not holding my breath on us getting another forward or two.

    He can take some of McLemore, Tucker and House's shots too.

    It's funny, because we say that year after year. I think most team's can say the same thing.

    Harden averaging a career high in points, and is close to shooting his best percentage from the field and from 3 since he’s been in Houston...he currently is at a career high in several advanced categories as well

    this is the dude clowns want to blame for our problems tho as the rest of the team builds entire new civilizations with their bricks...

    Harden went 6-10 from 3 against GS while the rest of the team went 10-41 on mostly WIDE OPEN looks...tonight he went 6-10 again while the rest of the team went 7-32...

    So cute. Haters haves devolved their hatred into playoffs. Guess we don’t have four months left in the season

    I think Harden would be averaging around 42 ppg if he wasn’t being doubled all game at halfcourt

    Nets didn’t double in the 1st quarter and he had an easy 22 points...they quickly scrapped that

    How frustrating must it be to see your teammates constantly brick looks that are so wide open. It’s ridiculous. I can’t think of many teams that wouldn’t be able to manage just a league average percentage from 3 on such high quality looks. Morey can never bring in snipers.

    Just glad we got the W with no injuries.

    Lead collapsing is a concern- hope we can get a handle on that.
