    Sitting third in the West at the moment and we haven't beaten a .500 or over team yet. We are 0-3 against over .500 teams and we are 6-0 against teams under .500

    Rockets could easily go another decade+ before they get another player that’s even somewhat close to Harden

    dude is really about to average even more points than last season...at worst I think he’ll average 35 ppg this year, but if J had to guess, I’d say he’s gonna average 37 this year

    if Harden is bricking all his shots, he’ll drop around 35

    if he’s having an average shooting night, he’ll drop around 40-45

    above average shooting night is at least 50

    How many .500 teams have they played? 6-3 is still better than 3-6.

    Remember last season?

    Not so my friend.
    The vibe would be better around here if some of the whiners left the forum.
    Even in easy victory all we hear is how terrible things are.
    And in defeat all we hear is how terrible things are.
    When we have a winning record all we hear is how terrible things are.
    If we have a losing record, all we hear is how terrible things are
    So basically, all we hear is how terrible things are

    Nice and tight in those jeans.

    A nice and tight win, as well. At least in the second half. Capella looks terrific. House may have pushed Gordon back to 6th man, which is where he belongs. Tucker with a good game you can’t measure looking at the stats. We could still use a long 4, but it didn’t matter playing this version of the Bulls. Harden was cooking, looking in mid-season form. Westbrook still finding his way while having a really nice game. Damn, James and Russ can be a good tandem. Relentless. Liked how they quit turning the ball over in the second half and hammered a young Bulls team, leaving them wondering what hit them. I’d like to see more games with the 1st half as good as the 2nd half was tonight.

    You homers have excuses for everything. Maybe he should tell them to get in shape before the season starts. I'd rather have out-of-shape key players than injured key players. Stop defending MDA every chance.

    Seriously?

    What was the Rockets offensive ranking before MDA took over?

    It has been ranked 1 or 2 since he got here and is currently ranked 1.

    There are things to b**** about but the offense under MDA isn’t one.

    It really looks like Morey is as much of an MDA stan as a lot of these excuse-gymnasts in these threads, which is concerning.

    I’d say victory complaints start here but they’ve already started .

    Is this some new age thing where if you say anything negative you're somehow a 'hater'? Such an odd thing, we are all Rockets fans and want the team to improve.. how that is hating I do not know. I hope these positives only people aren't coaching junior sports. Bit hard to improve if you're made to believe you are perfect.

    I'm hoping Westbrook will subconsciously absorb the Rockets tendencies to go for efficiency. Like you said, he's been a surprisingly smart player--very good at finding open shooters and knowing when to push. He's also adjusting to our defensive scheme and looks less lost on switches, though I could say that about most of our players over the last few games.

    I'm thinking big picture. All that counts to me is what they do in may and june. Obviously they are elite unit on offense but I cringe at our late game offense in the playoffs. Just don't think you can beat the LA teams running Harden PnR or isolation. Maybe the Westbrook dynamic changes things.
