Well he already proved he can shoot/score, was it his 1st or 2nd game back. We simply don't need him to do it. I bet he is loving this.
If Harden, Paul, Gordon, and Ryan have a hot shooting night during the same game, the Rockets may score 200. Typically, two of them are on and the other two are off. Gordon and Paul have hit a cold streak.
Will they run the, "Almost got a triple double" headline or say it doesn't matter since it was against a depleted Brooklyn team?
The probability of 2+ of our shooters getting hot though is very high. That's all we need to contend.
Celtics lost to the Pistons tonight, which is a win. They now have 4 losses as well. So looking at our relatively easy schedule the next few weeks, Rockets should have the best record in the NBA going into Christmas. I just want the stupid Kyrie for MVP narrative to die already.
May as well throw PJ, Ariza and Bootay in there, they are all capable of a big night. If they all fire we'd break 300.
Clint still has so much to improve. he passes up too many shots. Crazy to think where we could be if he becomes a boarder line All Star
No spread is safe when you got Bobby Brown on the team. He makes the entire team suck in garbage time by pure osmosis.
It's getting to where I'll start laughing because I can't help myself. It's so much fun! They hit 20-50 treys, and several of the misses were shots late when they had the game in the bag, screwing around, going for highlights instead of working for the open shots that are coming so easy now. And I just didn't care! We have such a smart team. It used to be that the guys said Harden made it easy for them, but hell, it's twice as easy now. You can see Chris's influence on the way they're playing. I'm seeing more made midrange shots, and I don't think it's just coincidence. I'm loving this team. We're going to do great things, folks, if we can stay reasonably healthy. So far, our depth is carrying us when someone misses a couple of games cause they're a bit banged up. What's a trip is that they have room to get better, a lot better. 16-4! Crazy!
17 points is way too high to gamble on the Nets. 1st in pace and 2nd in 3 point attempts. There's only two teams I would look for the Rox to cover 17 and that's the Suns and Knicks...but that's me.
Absolutely the stupidest ****ing thing imaginable- I agree with you- Irving is 12th in scoring and 23rd- 23rd- in assists. And so, b/c the Celts have a few more wins than us, that puts him above the guy who is #1 in scoring and #1 in assists?????????????????????????????????????
The Rockets also started 16-4 three years ago. Hopefully this season, they finally get to that 60 win plateau that's eluded this franchise.
If our coach doesn't learn to empty the bench sooner, a key player will get hurt. Mark my words. I literally scream at the TV...there's no reason for it. Stupidity. Even our opponent's fans say the same thing. WTF is Harden playing with 5 minutes left in a blowout?
We all knew how good CP3 would be on the lob passes but the 3 pointers becoming even more open is amazing. Would love to hear some advanced stats about Paul’s passing impact on this offense. Lol it was in the advanced stats thread. 55% from 3 on passes from Paul.
I went to look for stats leaders for Harden and Kyrie. Here is what I found. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2018_leaders.html
lol I really enjoyed this win so I’m gonna let it slide...can’t expect TC to get hype about BK on a Monday
