    This Harden Body language needs to freaking stop, give off really bad vibes. I cant stand it.

    It's absolutely incredible that MDA didn't play a big all game long. It isn't reassuring long term and speaks to an extreme lack of confidence in 3 out of the 4 centers on the roster (and yes I know Nene is a special case). They won in spite of that tonight, but it's fools gold long term.

    Harden with 16 boards, more than Unicorn's 12 that led Mavs.

    they’re just not a high IQ team, can’t shoot consistently, and they can’t defend...a recipe for blown leads and terrible quarters on both ends of the floor

    hopefully after this game we can now warmly welcome Harden to the year 2020

    Still don’t get why Hartenstein isn’t getting minutes.

    MDA won in spite of that....but it's fool's gold long term. We have some serious issues at the 5 and that is really shocking considering we have 4 players on the roster who play the 5. Not championship caliber...

    KP bullied these baby Rockets...it was child abuse

    Lakers have AD...their frontcourt is huge

    keep that in mind when salivating over Capela finally being traded

    Good finish by Harden. He was making quick decisions tonight and really shone in the clutch. Still obviously not 100% yet but he’s looking much better today!

    Rockets play better WITHOUT Capela?

    He doesn't look healed, but he looked like he wasn't going to let them lose. Long time since I've seen Harden give up his body the way he did tonight. Fighting for that jump ball, grabbing 16 boards(!), seeking out the double team, driving into it, and kicking to Russ or Rivers or PJ (though PJ missed that last one.) Harden looked like he cared out there and was going to grind it out even if he wasn't on point tonight.

    I mean when's the last time you saw Harden throw that bad of an air balled 3? He's hurt, still.

    I wish the Rockets would knock teams out for the count when they have them on the ropes, too. The Oklahoma City loss on MLK Day is the most recent of many collapses that never should’ve happened.

    Wow, have we ever had a game with 11 steals and only 6 turnovers? That's great!

    My two favorite moments tonight:

    1) Russ and the dance!

    2)The chat comments about the popcorn machine on fire.

    Great work by James and Russ. Two monster games from the pillars of our team.

    Good win, but oh boy Pelicans are very big. Zion about to dunk on the entire third ward.

    Super cool to see Russ give his game work shoes to kids in the crowd ! I completely see why this guy was so beloved by OKC fans, he’s won me over completely ... always respected him but never liked him until now !!!
