    Harden only has 3 of our 21 assists...this game has been amazing

    Right now it looks like we’re playing not to lose. That’s risky but it can work as long as OKC is still discombobulated

    If we wrap game 1 up, then a 100% healthy Russ comes back game 3 and we take flight. Perfect.

    Jeff Green is who Morey envisioned Royce White to be when he drafted him. #bewell

    19 point lead would be 30 point lead if Rockets do not get cold from 3 at top of 4th.

    Just drive the ball and end this.

    This is the best Rockets team since 1995...our last championship. If all of our players play to their potential, then this team is the best since then. This is definitely the best supporting cast the Rockets have had since starting this 3 point offense. The only thing that can stop this team is cold or lousy 3 point shooting and/or being lazy with defense/switches. The ball movement on offense is awesome. The defense is stingy. We have a lot of players that are 3 point threats and driving layup threats. We haven't had this combination of players before. I like it. We will wait and see if someone can find a way to tame this team and find its fatal flaws. Good luck. And, Westbrook hasn't even played yet.

    Typical Rockets when we get a big lead, we just sort of chill out.

    What is wrong with Harden's defense today? 0 STLS
