    i guess.

    the whole CP love fest for the guy around these parts is strange.

    he should have taken less than the supermáx and allowed Elvis to sing.

    No sympathy he getting 40Ms this year.

    This is not the Rockets team that I was expecting, but I'm loving it! Our defense is looking good, our bench is contributing, and our 3s our going in!

    Great 1st half!

    SGA very quiet for the Thunder, expecting him to make more noise in the 2nd half. Need to keep on top of him, and get Gallo in check, and we're sweet.

    Hoping Harden and Gordon keep percolating. Would be nice for Roco to find the bottom of the net at some stage, although his work on SGA has been outstanding.

    Up by 16 guys.

    If anyone said Rockets would be up this much at half everyone would have gladly took it.

    OKC is not some YMCA team, of course they are going to have a run here and there.

    We got this ish.

    CP3 has been great all season. I wouldn't be fooled and call him washed just like I dont trust Gordon to go back to his bricking self soon.

    I bet Okc is going to try and weather to storm and count on our bench not producing like this. Let’s go Rockets!

    To think, Rockets up 16 at Half, and "El RoCo Loco", as I call him, hasn't scored a single point thus far.

    Ok we gotta be ready for this upcoming run. CP3's ego is gonna fuel him and he is, after all, an all time great PG.

    If we absorb this hit well, we'll finish the game. I feel like Harden is not as overworked as he usually would be at this point. MDA has installed some GREAT wrinkles into this offense to get Harden a breather off the ball (featuring Green, Gordon, Rivers).

    So far so good guys. The team will be better for having to learn how to play without Russ. They will be better with him as well.

    Everybody does haha ;) let’s hope he will continue to do so.

    Anybody else feel it’s our energy of getting stops that has our shots falling at a higher rate, partially due to attacking and not settling?

    He does it every playoffs. He ramps up his penetration in the playoffs.
