    I was reluctant about him as well (not to the point of saying bad things)
    but, poor shooter or not, you can't help but appreciate his motor and his heart.
    You can tell he's a true competitor and doesn't like to lose.

    We're not used to seeing that kind of energy and effort here in H Town

    I got to believe that Manimal can spell PJ 5-8 minutes even if there is a team drop off. My guess why it hasn't happened is Manimal wants more money then Rox willing to spend for a "spell" minutes guy. I'd prefer a guy who can take minutes from both PJ and CC but those guys don't grow on trees and that ones that do are expensive.

    This guy makes a good point at the end of the video when he says some of us were so angry at the triple double narrative we discounted what Westbrook does really well.

    He adds the explosiveness we've lacked in the last few years. Harden and him seem to thrive together.
    He just finds the long rebounds, follows up misses well and is just a firework.

    When he's not shooting well this season he hasn't forced it but deferred to Harden.
    This is looking amazing offensively thus far but the defense has serious issues.

    I disagree with gloating over the Rockets losing; but yeah...if you are going to start a gloat thread then get in and take your lumps. You brought it on yourself, so take it gracefully.

    Let's just all remember that we have a lot of basketball left in this season. Love to all who love the Rockets Red!

    Man Westbrook is really not an issue at all. If we had the team following his lead we would be 5-1 tonight

    You really don't think he's one of the biggest contributors to our awful defense?

    This is why you make sure your crow is well done before serving it.

    I know Westbrook isn't THE problem here but Chris Paul did offer a leadership to this team that I'm not sure it has.

    No solid big man is gonna wanna come play here because the only way they get PT is at the 5 .... and even then Clint and PJ have to be sucking. We dont play 2 bigs at once. Thats why the only players that are willing to take the spot are ancient or rookies.

    Yes it starts with him and Harden on defense because they are the leaders but it's more of a team issue... mentality wise.

    Chris Paul did display that but at the same time if we really needed to depend on him he couldn't carry this team through the hard times like Harden did around this time of the year last year.

    Russ fans wouldn’t even let the crow marinate...ready to serve up some garbage overcooked crow to start the season after just 3 games

    keep that same energy for Russ all season, especially when he’s at his worst

    So much leadership from Chris Paul last year... :rolleyes:

    How quickly we forget how truly dreadful all of 2018 was.
