    Y'all losing your minds. This team is not better without the MVP.

    Maybe he should bring that same intensity and focus when we are playing lesser teams as well.

    To tell you the truth the one team that respects the Rockets is the Golden sate Warriors. After last year you can tell that they are the only ones that join in hand with the rest of the league in comments about our team.

    The best part is ... no one picked us to win on ABC except Mark Jackson, but he is just mad the Steph kicking him out.

    Faried changes the dynamic of the team. We just are alot tougher with him & Capela out there at the same time. He also allows us to give PJ a rest. Best win of the season


    Also it's hilarious GS got Cousins but can't use him against us due our offense

    Yep. I felt it would be really tough to win at oracle without Harden.....but not impossible. Harden is the best basketball player on Earth..we knew that already.

    We also know that with CP3 healthy, he’s a killer against the Warriors especially with the complementary pieces around him. Rockets didn’t get “lucky” this game. Rockets have known they can take the Warriors since early last year as long as Harden is healthy and CP3 has at least one good leg to play on.

    Rockets blew it against the Lakers and a plethora of other teams this year because they mostly just did not remain engaged all 48 minutes. But against the Worriers, I like the Rockets’ chances every time any where. Just need to be healthy.

    Worriers will go down as long as Rockets are healthy.

    As a Rocket, Chris Paul has played 11 games against the Warriors. He's 8 - 3. He's their kryptonite/daddy.

    Without his Harden crutch, MDA is forced to walk.

    Harden dribbling all night and taking shot after shot is sooooooooooooooooo boring to watch. It was fun seeing everyone get involved.

    Hey! Do you guys remember when the Warriors were disappointed by the news Harden wouldn't play because they wanted to be tested? LOL

    Fyi I always felt it was more depressing when we lost clint more then cp3...I would same the same about harden. Harden n cp3 are the same type of players. Both need clint to be unlocked

    Our secret weapon: don't play Harden. The refs get complacent and forget to screw us.
