    He knew he had an absolute awful game.

    The only good thing is he can't play any worse than that. He definitely won't shoot as badly as that for the rest of the season.

    I think his body language is off because he knows he played like garbage. No reason to be happy after the performance he had. 2-18 (or something like that from 3).

    I dunno, I don't buy it.

    I think there's a deep state conspiracy within the Rockets organization to encourage the fan base to embrace Westbrook. I guess it's working. He's growing on me.

    Harden looking dejected like he lost the game.

    Hate that he's validating people that call him selfish. Say what you will about WB, but he can go 1-30 and still cheer for his teammates.

    Its just not a good look.

    This will never happen. We all hate on McHale but at least he had the stones to bench him on the playoffs non the less

    Nah. He was good in the first half against the Bucks. Tonight he was bad from start to finish.

    Westbrook is so fast that harden doesn't have time to argue for the ball

    While Harden cannot let the Refs determine his nights. . . .
    The Refs have to be called out for the bullsh!t they do

    They are setting a very scary tone for this season

    I am starting to lean toward us needing a new coach. Someone has to get James under control. This team can be pretty good but James and ego need to get their heads out of their azzes.

    We should be 2-0 easily with a 10+ point differential

    It's a function of them playing together as well as their backup's performance

    So what's that now 3-28 shooting 3 pt shooting in 2 games by James to start the season off. That is just beyond comprehension, like wtf...

    To get a win with that awful Harden performance is just insane to think about.

    It's just now sinking in that we have Russell f*cking Westbrook on our team.

    If the Rockets get this kind of play from Westbrook all season, they’ll contend because, eventually, James Harden will rediscover his MVP form. Danuel House’s play is also very encouraging.

    Gordon needs to find his stroke and someone needs to show Capela how to play tough, or show him the door for a versatile big that will.

    It's embarrassing, but he's bound to improve. Hopefully he gets much better as the season goes on.

    Just trade harden.

    Pair Westbrook with an elite big or wing

    They would need to start playing defense, stop playing small ball and have Harden wake up. Until that happens they will struggle to beat lottery teams.

    and desperate. Harden cannot force the threes to go down. Westbrook he's the team layups dunks and open threes. James needs to allow Westbrook to help him get his rhythm

    so glad we got Russ man. he's the alpha on this team.
    Harden can go *** himself unless he shows his MVP form later on..
