    Rockets micro ball going Rorschach in the bubble:

    Does this guy even use his brain? The 3pt line was shorter in his day..... and he never shot as many 3pt shots as Harden does.

    Volume matters.

    Kellerman knows Jack about basketball.

    Ben Mac looks like a man possesed out there. like reggie miller junior. it looks like all that time after surgery EG has come through. We had no chance of going anywhere without him and he didn't let his team down. looks like we made that right choice resigning him after all! he has always been our X factor and now if Russ can just come back from that injury, oh my. i think this may be the year of the dark horse rockets coming out of the west with jeff green running point center. Never under under estimate the heart of champion part two! go rockets! this looks like a new james harden out there.

    there was nothing the thunder could do. we have too many weapons and our defense is too good. rivers did his usual good D. i think this is our year!

    I felt the same way coming into the game. What an exciting win! Great defense too.

    Kellerman is too stupid to understand statistics...or as Morey calls it, analytics.

    I loved how Green, Harden, and Gordon were driving it inside and making tough shots.

    In many ways, EG looked like Westbrook driving to the basket tonight. And the drive from under their basket to layup in ours was as fast as Westbrook. Those knees are great now.

    I'm sorry, but you can't blame a guy supporting his hometown team. I still support Indiana teams too as well as my Houston teams. That said, Go Astros!!!!!
