    He did a good job against tater tots, including that late block to seal the game up.

    Oh my goodness, did yall just seen what I just seen. Gutsy, true grit, heart, toughness and pride all wrapped up in one.

    You could tell these boys were tired and didn't have much lift on their shots. But they kept grinding away, never giving up. They decided to play lock down defense in the second half. Very impressive and it showed all of us that they can play defense when their shots are not falling.

    MVP of this game is Mr. 31 himself Eric Gordon.

    Honestly, Ryno's defense hasn't been that bad the entire season. Yeah he's not a good defender, but also not a huge liability.

    We're on pace for 60 wins almost halfway through the season. Harden better win the damn MVP.

    What's you're deal with OKC? KD switched from the Thunder to the Warriors and both teams got worse. It's all a win-win right now.

    He busts his tail off and that is all you can ask of him.

    I know he needed a rest but taking Harden off in the 4th quarter almost back fired. It got Washington back in the game

    From ESPN twitter:
    James Harden registered his 9th triple-double of the season with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists - on 6-of-24 shooting. Of 40 triple-doubles this season, Harden is the first player to shoot 25 percent or worse from the field. The last time a player had a triple-double shooting that poorly was the new king of triple-doubles himself: Russell Westbrook in March 2016 against the Pacers (4-of-17, 23.5 percent).​

    What a backhanded way of mentioning his triple double lol.

    The sign of a great team is multiple players ability to step up.

    I'm also liking our holding an opponent under 100. Wizards are borderline top-10 in scoring and were full strength tonight.

    Very good game for the home team.

    The rookie speaks the truth. (Although HeyP rarely ***** on players and he didn't trash Anderson just now either to be fair. That was a noteworthy effort by Anderson tonight... on defense. Did I just say that?)

    Gordon is arguably the 2nd best 2 guard in the west behind Klay Thompson. Not counting Harden who is now a 1

    Its truly amazing the difference between this years team and last years. Its like night and day. The heart, the activity, the resolve. Even when we struggle, I still have this feeling like... "yeh, we can do this" and almost every time THIS Rockets comes through.

    Its really stupid probably, but to not have to watch another seasons like '15-16 is SUCH a good feeling. I thought maybe I had lost something, I was so so so very frustrated watching that disorganized, foolish drag of a team play ball.

    This is a group you can get behind. Its incredible, fun an motivating. I cant wait til Capela and Beverley are back!

    Actually, Bevs presence may be enough to get under Westbrooks skin a bit :)
