    He clearly didn't get enough chow, nobody re-filled.

    Yikes, D’Antoni getting desperate. Then again he knows this is his last year.

    Eric Gordon might be the king of practice court given how much mike was ranting on about but he looked awful. Outside of house not much to like. Harden started well but faded a bit but it’s understandable. Russ showed flashes but he is rusty so he will improve

    its kinda crazy to think that harden has never played with a great x's and o's coach since hes been in the NBA

    scott brooks, then mchale, bickerstaff and now mike dantoni

    meanwhile kawhi has had great coaches and teams his entire career in the NBA

    only harden/house/roco look close to being in game shape right now

    gordon still looks god awful

    i have doubts about mclemore/green getting much playing time in the playoff games b/c they're both such defensive liabilities

    with roco out, our paint defense goes to hell

    bruno is hopeless

    refs still hate us

    hoping westbrook's T doesn't count

    luc was on the bench tonite

    Amazing. Gordon is 22/94 from the 3pt line in his last 13 games. That's an amazing 23.4% from the 3pt line.

    Good first game. Russ just needs to get loose and they should be ready to go.

    I want House to start tho

    Talent isn't the issue when you have Morey as GM. The problem is discipline when you have a coach like D'Antoni. Ben Mac looks rusty. Jeff Green looks rusty..... we didn't play with a sense of urgency. We're either all Locked in and completwly focused to win this or we're not. Every game is going to require us to be locked in and win it. This is not like a regular season.

    Westbrook didn't play the second half, if I recall correctly. Team looked decent towards the end of the 3rd quarter, especially on defense, and up one at the end.

    Harden sat the entire 4th. The bench squad failed against the Raptors bench.

    Kyle Lowry is who casual fans think Harden is when it comes to flopping.

    I think that we should definitely continue to start harden

    Talent is an issue when you have an owner who is a cheap ****.
