    Oh so he didn't have any other superstar playing with him when he did those things? Oh ok.

    I mean if you count Klay as a superstar? Definitely not Draymond.

    Empty stats. He was just as bad as everyone else don’t leave the turnovers out and the last passes out the double. Smh

    Have you ever seen a middle aged bald guy went to the street and got 2 hookers for a threesome and also doing drugs in the motel for 3 hours and then participate an Iran man event half hour after that?

    That’s exactly what happened to EG.

    No energizer out there, don’t trust this team at all without Westbrook!

    GSW TALK REALLY?

    Obre is a beast and I wish the Rockets would’ve traded for him. Idk why the suns would’ve gave him up though.

    PJ need to hit his 3s or this will not work.

    The Rockets were tired tonight and could not play Anton off of the court like they’re planning on doing.

    This shouldn’t happen against a lot of playoff teams.

    Fingers crossed.

    Again a Big man is still needed in the instances Westbrook is out. We need to remain versatile.

    We live and die by the 3 , tonight we died.

    Unless out defense gets much better then we are gonna die before we have a chance to get hot.

    This has not been a fun game to watch. But we’re all here watching anyway. We the real MVPs, today.

    Hope Gordon’s injury won’t be anything serious, he’s an integral part of our team.

    Rockets had a horrendous game, except for James Harden. At least our main guys didn’t play much today.

    On to the next.

    Small ball doesn’t work if you’re not running!!!!!!! Lmaooo at playing small ball with Harden dribbling in the half court. You know why we looked great against the Lakers? Because we were out running! The days of ISO James as 90% of the offense is over. If we want this to work he’s going to have to push the ball.

    I agree, but I'm not talking about "should". Something being winnable is different than something being an expected win. I made the Utah comparison as an example of effort and smart play meaning excuses aren't good enough if you're not going to play hard is all. I dont think playing PHX w/o WB & Gordon means we have an excuse to lose by 40 (or 10), because we know they have it in them to try. Don't worry, not being heated or argumentative, I just think this game is embarrassing.

    You talk so much crap. He had plenty of help in that season. Look at their team.

    One of the main benefits of small ball is that shorter players can run for endurance better than taller players and make the opposing team more winded.

    You lose that advantage when Harden is running the offense.

    Classic MDA, he opens his mouth one day and lose by 50 points the next day. This team loses the little winning mentality it has when Westbrook does not play.
