[Game Day]: Official Hope, Cheerfulness, and Optimism Thread

I'll be at the game tonight. Please don't lose.

 

I'm really optimistic about our chances tonight.

because Washington Bullets are really bad at basketball

 

At this point, I'd rather not be too optimistic nor too pessimistic. I'll just be anywhere from medium to extra medium

 

Brewer Sucks

 

I like this thread. My optimism is harden keeps playing the way he is, which has included defensive energy by the way; KJ gets 25 minutes; capela gets 30 mins. Please make it so.

 

As long as Corey sewer does not play I'll be content

 

To brighten everyone's day heres what James Harden eats to maintain his superstar body:

 

I'm always optimistic because this is what I want

 

This fun offense with mindblowing stats by Harden might attract a star free agent like Horford, instead of them viewing Houston as boring.

Hope Les is right. Fun and cheerful offenses attract people.

 

Is this a joke? All I can say is A-1 on anything sounds gross, but I am not a fan of steak sauces. He uses A-1 like I add serrano peppers to my food......LOL. Different strokes for different folks.

 

Come on Rockets, I believe in you! A star free agent is a step away from bringing the Rockets 1 step closer to rising back up to the top and making us contenders for a championship in H-Town once again!!!!!!

 

I see the corner, just ahead. Once we get there and make that turn, we'll be golden.

 

I'm still excited and anticipate watching games.

Only 8 more hours until pre-game.

 

I won't. Please don't lost.

 

Harden was at a Chicago steakhouse with JVG and Thibs and put A-1 sauce on his expensive steak. Sauces say that's why they chose not to coach the Rockets

 

Reason for optimism? 3 of our young players are the top 5 on our team in PER. Not surprisingly, Ennis is the only rotation player with a negative PER. That will be solved when Beverly returns and Ennis won't see the court.

Also, our only 2 players averaging more than 1 block per game are Harrell (1.33 BPG) and KJ (1 BPG). Harrell will hopefully start getting some time at backup 4 soon, instead of just minutes as our 3rd C.

Dekker and Harrell are gonna be our 2 other stars.

Harrell is averaging 18 and 11 per36.

Dekker is averaging 11, 8 and 1.2 steals per36

 

I actually agree with this sentiment. I think most people viewed Harden as a black hole on offense that doesn't play defense, but now that he's dishing the ball, I like the odds of us attracting someone wanting that money and wanting to play in a fun offense. I hear Steph Curry has a vacation home out here and loves the food.
