    As long as he finds his shooting touch, he is welcome back

    Not a rhetorical question:

    In the light of recent events, can a ref have it counted because he thought it went in? And if the spurs protested, it will be waived off by the NBA?

    edit: oh wait, they will not protest because they will win.

    Awesome comeback, fun win, terrible TERRIBLE basketball. I’ve been saying it a lot lately but this team is beyond terrible. We may have the greatest offensive player of all time but we’ve catered to his game so tremendously that our team has absolutely zero shot of actually contending for a title. Our “brand” of basketball is simply the most uninspired, boneheaded, stat-driven **** sandwich possible.

    I’m ready to blow this thing up bc as currently constructed this team will never achieve anything of importance. We’re the antithesis of sound, smart, team-focused basketball. It’s an abomination to watch.

    Awesome win! I don't care if we were supposed to blow out the Spurs or whatever, just seeing the team have the resilience and fortitude to complete a comeback like that makes me happy! Say what you want about Russell Westbrook, but he never gives up.

    And I can't have been the only dude surprised when Harden rose up for that kind of nonchalant-looking two handed dunk, right? I get that the dude is sneaky athletic, but I wasn't expecting that.

    Crazy stuff always seems to happen when the Rockets play the Spurs...glad we were on the good end this time.

    1 playoff series win in 17 years before Harden, but because we’re not favorites for a title we got people talking about blowing it up...lmao

    what was an abomination was the mediocre, irrelevant product the Rockets had been putting on the floor for years post-Hakeem/pre-Harden

    gimme this over a lot of that garbage any day of the week

    Why are u in such a hurry to become the Charlotte Hornets of the WC?

    he cant be any worse than thabo and clark, especially since he will now be pain free. his return could be a huge for us.

    Just got home from the game. Great team defense in the 2nd half. Amazing comeback. Very proud of tonight’s performance.

    Guys around him need to know how to play off of him. Ariza and Ryno two seasons did. Tucker knows. The rest need to be more assertive and figure it out.

    I like winning. It's a big thing for me. After a win, I find it difficult to complain. Perfection is overrated and something that can't exist.
