    I agree but it just looked easy. I had doubts before the game with their size. I should have known better them being from the east.

    Yeah, CP3 is just farming around. Game was was waaaaay over.

    CP3 and Harden have PhD's in basketball. Amazing BB players.

    We led most of the game by 20. 16 is actually the low point of this game on our end. Blew them out on the 1st.

    Was this the most boring win of the season? The Rockets are coming together at the right time. Every time the 76ers tried to make a run, it was answered and quickly stomped to death. I've been encouraged recently, and I'm REALLY encouraged after this one.

    James Harden and Chris Paul completely controlled the game from the tip. It was beautiful to watch.

    James Ennis showed why he was not what we hoped he would be. His tools are there, and he plays hard, but his defensive IQ and his positioning are both just bad. He's still young, and he might suddenly "get it" one day...but not yet.

    This did not seem like one of the top teams in the east. The Rockets literally toyed with them for much of the second half. I know they're missing Embiid, but I was expecting a more competitive game. I'm glad it wasn't one.

    Also, at the end of the game, did anyone else catch that ol' TJones pump fake? Everything else has changed, but that hasn't. And just like before, nobody went for it :p

    76ers 59 rebounds, Rockets 43 Rebounds and who won?!?!?!? You get 59 rebounds you should win a lot of games unless you play against the powers of the West. With Embid, they probaly get less than 59 rebounds probaly an even bigger blowout. 76ers belong to Boyz league, Rockets in Mens league.

    All went well, but I'm surprised as to why Chris scored only 4 points. We need 12-15 a night from him as the challenges increase with OKC and GS. I know he can turn it on. I want to see more of that, so Harden gets a rest. A big backcourt punch every night, will demoralize our opponents.

    We pretty much decimated the best of the East these past few games. Now it's the Bucks turn.

    Denver belongs to the Boyz league too. Their record is a mirage. Under the playoff pressure, they will fold.

    Man it would be sweet to get to 52 wins. Especially after that terrible start
