    Definitely, though Tucker playing through pain and hitting all his threes, plus those boards and defensive boxouts were just crazy. This guy is Mario Ele on steroids.

    CP3 -36 hahaha

    Gordon needs to take a breath and chill on his threes he's forcing too many -- but his crazy drives are working.

    The Houston Rockets are playing championship level defense.

    This is why we traded him. He is 35 and might not be able to keep up his high performance.

    Man Gordon starts to worry me, what happened to his shots?

    Harden disappears in the playoffs as usual

    OKC could not win even with Rockets shooting 33% from distance.

    Our D is lockdown.

    3rd and 4th Quarters were works of art.

    Balanced scoring and tough D are beautiful things

    Harden despite the poor shooting was engaged all game and passed the ball well and had no turnovers. Played good defense and didn’t sulk. Positive

    house was the king of the castle tonight. The House was his domain. Amazing game by him.


    Jeff Green what a second half and Rivers played a great cameo.

    Tucker was great tonight

    Watching the rockets give full intensity on defense and rebounding actually gave me goosebumps multiple times during the game

    Don't know yet whether we're watching a champion. But we're definitely watching a revolution.

    He’s got a ways to go before he’s out of my dog house I’ll give him credit for staying aggressive even though his shot wasn’t going.

    his 3pt shot is nonexistent...its breweresque.... he better continue to slash and drive... and sprinkle a couple of 3pointers in between to keep defenses honest... it can be done ...russ proved it....

    The defense was beautiful all game. So few lapses, we forced them to make tough shots. The only uncontested ones we gave up were to Dort and that was intentional.

    It must chap your ass to see people actually praising Harden's defense and leadership.
