    Sometimes I just like every post in a thread because one post made me so happy. It just feels good sometimes. Bev is just so likeable, you know?

    With Beverley back (thank god), I am hoping that Westbrook will focus so much with trying to jam it down Beverley's throat (and try to do a lot on his own) that it will be a detriment to his team. Conversely, Harden will be the same "team first" guy he has been and get his "team" involved for the win.

    Bottom line, Rockets need to protect home court against a team that is trying to move up the rankings for a higher seed. These HOME games against OKC, Memphis, Utah, LAC...they are big. Got to get them.

    Not to mention the MVP national media narrative waiting to be written after this one.

    Not surprising at all. Roberson is a really good individual defender and Adams is a really good positional defender. Together they anchor a top ten defense. The team overall is extremely athletic. It's hard to build a good rhythm against a team like that.

    Great job by Dantoni holding back Bev to be ready for this game. Its common sense but we weren't getting that the past few years

    Looks like Westbrook, Oladipo and Adams will each be playing 35 mins tonight against Charlotte.

    More importantly another loss! Okc will come in hungry for a win. 2 losses in a row.

    OKC 2-4 on back to backs this year (plus they have been on the road). Going to be hard for them to fight the entire 48 minutes to pull out a win against a well rested Rockets team.

    going to need harden to play much better than he did last game. you can expect Westbrook to do his thing and get to the free-throw line. I expect he has been practicing the three after his last two performances from the three-point line for national TV.
