    I love the chemistry on the team.
    James knows what it is like to come up short in a playoff game, thus he can boost confidence into Chris Paul for that terrible performance. Same goes for when Harden might have a subpar game.

    Clint’s x factor is how willing he is to do whatever the team needs him to do. He doesn’t complain and gives his best effort and that is an amazing quality to have.

    Green said this once how the team does not allow him to get down because they give him confidence.

    When your teammates/coaching staff got your back and they believe in you, that is an incredibly valuable ingredient to success and overcoming adversity.

    Harden yelling “he played great” when the reporters asking Paul about his performance tonight, and subsequently Paul talking about Tucker, Gordon etc and their contributions is tell-tale of this year’s team.

    I think he's gonna try Game 2 if not for sure Game 3.

    Ryno needs to enjoy his last year on the Rockets.

    I suspect he did it on purpose to cure Harden of it...its similar to counterworry tactic Delboy and Granpa applied to Rodney in one of the episodes of Only Fools and Horses

    Everybody had awful awful games offensively except Harden and Capela. Pretty sad when you only get 3 made 3's from everyone but Harden. James and Clint carried through that one for sure. Game ball to James and Clint!! The rest need to step it up.

    No one but Harden could hit a three. Everyone else couldn't hit the ocean from the beach. They still won.

    I'm not gonna knock him. If he had shot like most did last night people would have ripped into him. Sure, he can be streaky too, but he still has the best overall average from behind the arc, so we need him. That is especially true when others are struggling to hit the broad side of a barn and are wide open. It will be even more crucial when we play tougher teams if we move on. He may be overpaid, but certainly isn't the weakest link on this roster.

    Much closer than it should have been, but winning with only 2 players doing well is an accomplishment in itself. I expect the rest of the squad to step up and sweep these boys.

    If Minnesota tried attacking Capela on a switch last game, they will TORCH Ryan Anderson if he plays. All we will see is Teague & Crawford scoring on Ryno at will. He should probably sit this one out

    It is not uncharacteristic for a bunch of athletes to get to the rim. Specifically when you have constant mismatches like Teague on Capela/Nene//Tucker/Harden and Rose for the same(Yes, Tucker is with them, he is not even close to quick enough for them).

    Does @Clutch or anyone have full highlights of the home broadcast? Still can't believe no one has them.
