    Obviously we will take an ugly win over a beautiful loss any day, but our guys need to get back on track. Harden and Capela saved us, everybody else were bad. Need Luc and Ryno back.

    I get what you're saying, but in the end i think Rose and Crawford handling the ball is going to be good for us, they're just big time chuckers in the playoffs, they just take away possessions and shots from better players to chuck up forced shots, we're good with that.

    Tilman for real squashed Chuck's beef with the Rockets.

    Instead of hearing a siderant that the "Rockets aren't ready (or worse)" just from the first game, we get a siderant of Harden's greatness.

    Might be the same ol' ****, but it's Night and Day.

    The Rockets won... although no one outside of Harden and Capela (in the first half) deserved to win.

    Chris Paul wasn’t bad... he was terrible and really had no excuse for it. He tried to give the game to the Wolves at the end as well.

    So how bad were the Rockets sans Harden?

    The Rockets shot 3 of 25 from three without Harden.

    The Rockets shot 9 for 14 from the free throw line w/o Harden

    The Rockets shot 24 for 57 from the field w/o Harden

    Probably some hidden Spurs fans still salty cause Paul signed here and not there. And that's probably going to cost them Kawhi too lol.

    Why we will sweep:

    1) if Capela outplays or even just matches Towns, they don't have near enough talent to keep up.

    2) team (minus Harden) won't shoot 3-25 from 3 again.

    3) CP3 was awful. He will come back with a vengeance in game 2.

    He walked around under the basket with the ball but DIDN'T travel? LOL
    And he DIDN'T have the ball either? or what?
    EDIT: After further review, I concur he didn't travel

    Pretty optimistic about this win.

    We couldn't hit any shots, missing bad free throws, CP3 had worst game of season and we still won.

    Those things won't continue.

    Also James Harden is a basketball god.

    We will likely still win in 5-6 games, but having a close game after whopping their ass all season is suspect behavior.

    Warriors blowing out SA doesn't help my confidence either.
