    Weird how he never gets hurt in okc. Even plays back to backs.

    All-time talent that Morey/Tilman wasted.

    Harden needs to demand a trade like Kawhi and dictate where he wants to go. That way he can go to a real franchise and finally win.

    Like I said in other threads, The Rockets are an unlucky franchise. Nothing ever seems to line up. This is expected..

    So this is so much worse than I though, looks like @Nook was right. We don't even know if he'll respond to treatment.

    Wasted tons of assets for a first round exit.

    Maybe his coach doesn’t play him 90 minutes a game

    Pretty sure Westbrook won't play until after our first loss or Game 3, whichever comes first. I'm more worried about his game fitness than anything right now. Need to give him, Gordon and maybe Moute some minutes to get a feel.

    Wow - I mean wow - we have no one to run the team after Harden - unless Rivers is going to finally mature.

    Harden has such bad luck. It's like historic numbers during games don't matter. No one gets double teamed like h
    On top of that, if he doesn't heal you could have a KD situation where he is out all of next year as well and as we have seen with Boogie if torn quad he could be an albatross contract for the next 3 years.

    good idea with luc . The way WB plays is kinda how C Luc played for us in 17-18 . A kind of a funky point center . If luc can give us 60 percent of that and hold steady on D then he’s worth 10-15 min look

    Lol, ding, ding, ding how?

    CP3’s mpg in Houston...31.8, and 32

    CP3’s mpg in OKC...31.5

    and both years he got hurt at the start of the season when he should’ve been the freshest

    whatever routine or habits he had in Houston clearly must be different now...maybe the trade motivated him, who knows

    D’Antoni was excited about CP3 right before the trade. His new diet and better game shape was well known.

    Tilman is just stupid and blew it.

    Westbrook is 31 with a ton of lower body surgeries. This was absolutely not an unlikely conclusion.
