    I know we usually play the game of "Man, I wish (insert opposing player here) was on the Rockets!" but...

    Man, I wish Danny Green was on this team.

    + Danny Green
    + Danuel House
    + Capela, CP3

    - Ennis, Gerald Green

    And I'd be content with our lineups going into the playoffs, if they started today.

    Half court bounce pass that hit Faried in rhythm.

    On a side note, we'd have Danny, Danuel, D'Antoni. We'd just need to trade for Troy Daniels, Daniel Hamilton and Daniel Theis, and we'd have all the "Dan" people in the NBA.

    Kawli sacrifices his game early for Lowry, and its tough for kawli to get rhythmm.

    This was luck, yeah raps lucky lebron out west!

    That's kind of bs. Not to demean Faried, whose energy and smart play were crucial, but Harden had a great game, too. The only thing he didn't do well tonight was shoot from 3; every other facet of his game was great.

    I'm pointing out the luxury of our depth. And I won't be surprised if EG does come off the bench when CP comes back esp with how we stagger them. Oh, and I also forgot GGreen.

    You’re probably right. However, on the plus side, it was the final play of the game, so it will be in every highlight reel and no anchor or commentator will be able act like it didn’t happen.

    Breathing a sigh of relief

    If he had lost that game, it would've been by far the most painful loss of the season.

    Faried's energy and intensity were spectacular to behold tonight. I know most of us expected him to be a good signing, but having a game like this against the Raptors (the supposed best team in the league, according to some) was just awesome.

    I was hoping he'd be Montrezl-Like, but I actually think he's a better defender, or at the very least has more defensive awareness at this point in his career. And despite his reputation for not being great on the defensive boards, he's been securing them pretty well over our last three games.

    The team's starting to add depth. Once House accepts his contract and CP3+Clint come back, the rotation will be looking deep and dangerous.

    "In his first game back, Kawhi was so exhausted in the last few seconds that he couldn't even shake James Harden, who never plays defense."

    Lol. If someone has to go through that level of mental gymnastics to offer such asinine commentary on that play, they don’t deserve a job in sports reporting/broadcasting.

    Good points. Only thing he forced was the 3. He was so patient early on and made sure his teammates kept it rolling after the great start.

    They get that pommel horse and the rings out pretty much every day Harden has been on this tear. I wouldn’t be in the slightest surprised to hear something like that come out of someone’s mouth.
