    Walton will be happy they reached their goal of keeping Harden under 50

    Hopefully we can get Faried in here quickly enough to help with all those big man issues that we saw tonight.

    We're gonna be a scaring f****** team once everyone's back!

    James Harden is...I don't even have any words to describe the magnitude of what he's doing. He's tired every night, exhausted after the game today, and still find a way to lead the team and will them to victory. His body language was incredible for the entire game. What kind of mental fortitude do you need to be able to bounce back from a devastating loss like the Nets game? And what kind of selflessness does it take to throw away multiple attempts at another 50 point game in order to secure a win? MVF*CKINGP

    Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker showed why they were big-time players today. Both of them have taken their fair share of criticism (some of it deserved) over the season, but they helped James drag the Rockets to a great win.

    Gerald Green was awesome too, and I can forgive the missed free-throws because he was part of the reason the Rockets got back into the game in the first place.

    The cavalry is on its way...Kenneth Faried is apparently going to be on the team by the next game, and Chris Paul should be only 2 weeks away. In the meantime, we get to witness one of the greatest stretches of basketball in any era being played by James Harden.

    Disagree. Lance came in launching 3's Lonzo would have never taken. Rockets were rolling when Lonzo went out.

    MDA coached well tonight, rebounding isn't just about height, it is a skill. You also need team mates to help with boxing out

    You can't trot out the same lineup that is getting destroyed on the boards and you're behind by 20 points you need to do something the only reason they got back into the game was because of the brilliance of Harden MDA has completely relied on him and that is terrible coaching.

    We need to get some REB and defend the glass w/o Clint and I don’t think Faried helps us solve those issues imo.

    Young BiGS need to step up!
