    Rockets didn't have Clint in Philly and Philly doesn't have Harden stopper Brewer anymore.

    Bucks had to resort to cutting off the entire left side of the court and funneling Harden to their shot blockers. Since that game, Harden has unlocked Float Game 3000.

    ^ I don't get this? The Danuel House sarcasm baffles me.

    Great, we're in a win streak now and we've found our groove. But it doesn't change that House would've been a difference maker in most of our recent crappy losses. We'd be extremely close to the Nuggets already if he was still here.

    Lets go along with this logic. We’d be extremely close to the nuggets if the rockets didn’t sign melo

    It's pretty tight from the 3rd to 6th. We need to keep winning.

    Welcome to the West, Lebron.

    (Totally unrelated to the topic. Just want to say it.)

    I like Danuel House. I just enjoy antagonizing people with strong agendas. Didn't really want to start an argument in this happy thread though.

    From the time Paul came back on 1/27/2019 til now we're ranked 19th in defensive rating.

    From the time Capela came back on 2/21/2019 til now we're ranked 13th in defensive rating.

    You don't know that.

    it's amazing you can tell what a player is going to continue to do throughout the year when they have only played 15 games of major minutes.

    You do realize 15 games is almost 20% of the season? That's a pretty extensive sample size and even Harden himself understands the value he brought here from his quotes.

    It's not exactly amazing to figure out that House who had one of the best net ratings and 3pt% on the team would've helped the team win games they lost where the primary reason was lack of size, defense, rebounding, and shooting.
