    Great 5-on-8 win. This team is so much better than last year... If we can clean up those turnovers and missed FTs, we might contend.

    Bev was the difference tonight. We didn't have him in the first game.

    Had to make it hard. Refs were on their knees for OKC in that 4th quarter, but team came through on final few plays. Good win on the road. Hope Harden stops with those lazy behind the back passes.

    Drunk Harden and the Rockets still pull off a win. Role players came up BIG.

    Bad games from Harden always look like sabotage.

    Don't let Harden's Box Score fool you, he played terribly.

    & Bev took the last rebound to keep Harden away from a TD! Good game! Need work on protecting 4th quarter leads.

    The difference between winning and losing @ OKC is Patrick freaking Beverley. So nice to see him healthy and his athleticism fully back.

    OKC really seems to know how to frustrate the Rockets in the 4th quarter. Roberson does a solid job on Harden. That's where we could use a post threat like DMo.

    Capela was trash today. Thank god for Nene. This team is really deep, and it's shocking how good our bench has become. D'Antoni clearly made the right move with the players he took out of the rotation (Ennis and McDaniels).

    I mean a win is a win, and I'll gladly take it. But harden has a long way to go, a long way. He needs to get it together or see a psychologist or something because this type of performance happens too often. I felt like it was the okc game from earlier in the year all over again.

    We can all agree that harden has come along way as a leader but this is not the same player from 14-15. I don't care if the numbers say otherwise - he has lost his killer instinct. He melts in the clutch too often this season, horrible turnovers and refusing to attack when he can blow by whenever he wants.

    Where is the decisiveness? The aggression? It is a real concern. It really is

    Really suspect officiating against the Rockets in the 4th quarter.
