    Guys are playing hard on defense, does it mean Harder/Russ are just lazy/bad defenders?

    At this point i'd say trade Harden, Westbrook and Capela for some depth and we're good to take down the Lakers.

    Gordon still capable of dropping 40, let’s hope he stays hot.

    Most fun half of Rockets basketball I've watched all year.

    Sir, I am triggered by your profile picture and ask that you think twice before using photos of such incompetent people. There could be children using this site.

    This should be an eye opener to the Rockets' front office. Yes, we can play smallball the ENTIRE game since we have the personnel. There is no need to have a traditional center on this team, especially one making a buttload of money. Hartenstein is fine since he's dirt cheap and can shoot 3s. Trade Capela and get yourself another 3&D player.

    How are we doing this without Harden and Westbrook? Part of it is the shot selection is better and fewer turnovers. Harden jacking up and bricking stepback threes was leading to fast break points for the other team and not exactly helping our morale. Fine when they go in, but lately they haven't.

    Did Harden make it out on the trip? Didn't see him in the celebratory dances whenever there was a Thabo killa crossover.

    The Jazz are the best three point shooting team in the league. Tonight they are 3-22.

    So, cross your fingers and hope they stay cold from long range.

    Trade Harden & Westbrook back to OKC for CP3, Schroeder and some picks.

    Let's get this chip.

    Harden and Westbrook are good at times, when they're engaged, but to have a great defense you have to be consistent, and they're simply not. Westbrook just has poor iq and a lot of times doesn't understand where to go or how to make the right play, Harden plays defense in one play, then doesn't care/try for the next two so, yeah.

    Either Rockets get blown out, lose close or win by a few.

    That was a shockingly fun half of hoops to watch, do I expect it to continue .. probably not but then again why not... hope Ego and Rivers stay hot and everyone continues to play solid D and maybe we pull and upset ... ok back to reality ..

    CF: “Sit you ass down”
    CF: “Why Harden ain’t jumping around recklessly on the bench while he’s injured!?! Not a leader!!!”
