    Even subpar performances, we're just too potent and have way better D this year. It masks one off performances.

    Really, that game at Philly we were pretty bad but won. We're just that good.

    Funnily enough those 3 in that order are the best players we got

    Harden the best

    CP3 second

    EG 3rd best

    It happened in the 3rd I believe when the Lakers went on their run. The ball kinda went away from James on the offensive end. Paul waved him off but gave him the ball on the next play.

    Lou did help us beat the Thunder and was part of the CP3 trade.

    I thought rockets played pretty average today, a lot of sloppy plays but we still managed to blow out the lakers, ego really brought the spark during that first half, but my god his 3pt has been off for a number of games now

    Lakers get 30 free throws, almost double the Rockets but Rockets still hit the Vegas line of +14.5. **** off refs.

    I'm not incredibly impressed with the Rockets quite yet, this success has to endure before I'm legitimately impressed and this month is going to be the perfect opportunity for them to do just that.

    Lakers really shot themselves in the foot with all those turnovers otherwise it would have been a tight game

    Still a risk. Just because those two made it, doesnt mean he will too.

    Kyle Kuzma through his first 22 games is averaging 16 ppg, 6 rbg and is shooting 50% overall and 37% from 3 point line.

    Brandon Ingram has worse numbers than him in all those categories.

    The fact that Kuzma can shoot the 3s at that rate itself makes him a better fit in our offense. Love his intensity and the way he attacks the basket as well.

    Besides, Ingram came from Duke. Thats as iffy as it gets right there.

    You mean the month where we play 7 games in 3 weeks?

    So, that’s all it’s going to take you to be impressed? You should already have been then.

    Hey thanks for your approval. I was convinced this is a Rockets message board. Do I have to think they're the greatest team ever to post here or what?


    I'm always measuring how they stack up against the Warriors, because thats the bar, and in terms of how they stack up against the Warriors there's a lot for them to prove.

    I'm impressed, but I know what you're talking about. Rockets winning games they are supposed to win. However, Lakers have a real defense (top 10) and the Rockets still feasted. That should be encouraging even to the most skeptical.

    Someone tell Lavar his son aint even better then the average backup scrubs you see on the middle of the pack team benches. So how the *** is he on par with the Curry's of the world?This moron destroyed any confidence this kid had by putting so much unrealistic expectations on his shoulders.

    He better tell Lonzo not to shop lift anything in China because that is where he will endup at this rate and Trump wont save this sons ass ..
