    I'm not ignoring that.

    I'm just choosing not to immediately write off what will be an elite offense with two elite players because of a shaky preseason game.

    You have to just hope that they make adjustments when/if they need to. I'm not going to assume they don't because they didn't last year. I'm not even worried about playoffs right now. Neither is the team.

    I don't understand why some of you fantasize about the locker room being Mean Girls.

    CP3 had more turnovers(4) in this first half than he normally has in 4 games.

    Nathan Graham was playing in the first half. James Harden about to come out for the 2nd half.

    Cause CP3 body language looks like he's disgusted with his sloppy play

    that was an ugly 1st half...6-22 from 3 and 15 turnovers

    good work by Capela so far with 11 points, 7 boards, and 3 blocks

    ESPN a bunch of clowns.. This is literally the first time CP3 and Harden have struggled. Have they watched the other preseason games?

    It's abslutely pathetic, how can you put 57/13/11 ahead of 53/15/17? We value more 4 points than 2 boards and 6 assist? Amazing...

    Isn't it very convenient that they just all happen to share a bad night against one of the best defensive teams in the league? I'm not really worried about how the Rockets will fare against mediocre to bottom-tier teams. It's against the likes of Memphis, Utah, SAS, GS, etc. that I have less faith in MDA's system and Harden's ability.

    Jalen Rose at the end of the segment "who knows CP could be in Cleveland next year". Wtf. Why do the mainstream media guys have to mention Lebron, Cleveland, Steph, GS or WB, OKC in every convo? They dont really care about anything other than that

    So that gets you excited that our players are going to be mad at each other?

    Should CP3 take off his belt or make James go pick his own switch?

    Cheering on tension is some clown sh*t

    Memphis is a good defensive team, we need to do better! Capela the sole bright spot.
