    It's so easy to see that this roster has 10x higher upside than the roster last year.
    Pending health, i don't see why we wouldn't be a contender, as long as James stays.

    Ya they have to get some chemistry together. They have zero playing time together before this so it's expected that it might be a bit confusing when both of them are on the court. Hopefully Silas can work something out.

    Finishing around the basket is what got him kicked out of the bubble.

    The only good thing I find comfort in when James does eventually leave is that u will have to find someone else to btch about. Literally that's all u do every game thread when harden is playing.

    Yeah, this is an interesting team.

    I think it has a really high ceiling and a really low floor.

    The Rockets last year had a lot more fastbreaks because Westbrook would just sprint no matter what.

    But this team looks actually GOOD in transition because of so much athleticism. It’s not forced.

    When Wall/Harden/Brown/Nwaba break up plays, and it’s off to the races, they’re way too athletic for damn near anybody.

    Is that the real reason Harden wants to leave? Houston to the core. :)

    Of course the ball never goes to the right place when Rockets are hustling on defense.
