    Harden is probably the only super star in this league that can still win games without another super star or a good consistent star along side. Look at who he is playing with. CC and Gordon are the next two best players he has. Yet, we were able to beat the Spurs and OKC, two hottest team in the league. That's some thing.

    By the way, good pickup of Rivers. I am more impressed by his defense and attacking mentality. Exactly the kind of guy we need, especially when CP is out.

    Also how did we win this game? Looks like we might have a formula. Relentless on the threes and drive ins. Everyone is bought in. The only thing is Gordon doesn't need to force it when it's still early on the shot clock. You have got Harden there, there is no need to jack up a 35 footer when there is at least 10 ticks on the clock.

    On the other hand, we are really active on boards and creating 2nd chances, which were huge.

    This was seriously a trash game until the middle of the 3rd qtr. Refs made this game boring af with the bullsh-t. Rockets had 15+ turnovers. I have no Idea how the Rockets remained in the game with the trash calls.

    we managed to get 17 offensive boards against OKC to offset the 18 they got against us...shoutout Capela

    that was huge, it’s not often they get bullied on the glass as well

    I'm telling you the league is like wwe they pick who they want to push. Its like John Cena he is the most marketable so they are going to push him because its more money. Harden doesn't fit the NBA's image so they begrudgingly say something when he gives a great game. Jalen Rose called out pierce that James is unique as an offensive player

    I worry about Adams more than Russ and PG13.

    I hate austin rivers but I loved what he did on the court today. This is a very confusing time for me. I feel dirty but in a good way.
