    Until we make deep runs and win in the playoffs they won’t take the rockets seriously.

    I tuned to the game thread looking forward to reading some talk about how sweet that 4th quarter was but instead it’s another back and forth b**** fest about who the better player is. They are on the same ****ing team. The Rockets have both of them. They are both awesome and clearly love playing with each other. Enjoy it.

    There were more than 15 lead changes, and the Rockets still won by 21 points. I have never seen that before, that I can recall.

    Honestly I don't think they are rockets fans. Don't get me wrong I have my qualms with harden but let's not make no mistake he's a top 5 player in the NBA. N gets better every year. Why do people try do drive wedges. These are probably the same people who.tbought cp3 n harden wouldn't work lmao. Like yea 2 guys that don't mind passing couldn't play together. If u was a smart basketball fan u knew it would. Because this whole one basketball thing they was saying was dumb. That is always mitigated by running such a fast-paced so you still get up all the shots you want to get up you shoot more shots than the other team.

    Sure, the MVP will take a backseat to the newcomer... sure. CP3 is awesome, but James Friggin Harden is on another level. He gets it done in ways that are apparently invisible to you. That says something about you when you can't recognize greatness. Probably means you're not excellent at anything. You waste to much time on hating. I feel very bad for you.

    Pobrecito @Harden's beard no estå excellente a nada.

    I get the feeling we're going to be ignored all year. ESPN and Friends don't want to jinx us and blow their load too early on this streak.

    He’s been playing horribly these past few games which has been masked by the wins. The reality is Anderson is still trash at home.

    So the Celtics won a championship? Houston get no respect. Okc hasn’t won anything and they get all the attention. I really don’t care but it would be nice getting some or some articles to read. I mean 14 win streak now.

    Even this game. Before the 4th qtr CP3 explosion of play-making. CP3 was playing like garbage. Harden (and Capela) were the only ones scoring and keeping the Rockets in the game.

    According to Ariza, Ryno asked for Tucker to start the second half. He said that's how unselfish this team is.

    How you guys feel about that?

    We are getting everyone’s best play this year and still overcoming it.

    And wow does it seem like every team is dealing with significant injuries.....

    How in the hell do you go from down 8 to up 21 in 8 minutes? Just a reminder that this winning streak has come with Gordon being in a slump for most of it.

    Capela was the MVP of this game. Anderson and Black were trash defensively. So was the whole team for most of it. If I had to watch one more undefended basket cut I was gonna blow a gasket.
