    EGo looks healthy and ready to go. He hasn’t looked this good since his 1st year here. Wood is looking awesome - way better fit with Harden than Capela was. Wall and Boogie looked good 1st 3 games too.

    If Harden isn’t traded and buys into the coaching staff and Raf Stone, this team is gonna surprise a lot of people. He’s actually moving decently well without the ball. Already has 2 made shots off an assist (if I’m not mistaken) - this was unheard of couple of years ago.

    We look so much less predictable so far in the pre-season.

    If only we could get back another superstar for Harden, then we'd be still contending.

    I hope we play all 72 games or whatever it is for your sake. I hate betting but that's a lock to get 36 wins. You have to finish the entire season in the middle of covid though. One missed game and the bets were all off from what I saw.

    That’s why I don’t get why he’s being such a b**** about a new contract, what does he expect

    Seriously a few more games under Silas and playing alongside Woods Harden can surly see how good he has it. Easy and more efficient shots and a absolutely monster partner in Crime in woods

    i want him to stay also, but if he insists it must be done. we dont want to punish the players who want to be here and have constantly hanging over their heads. its not just the front office that has to be uncomfortable and the coaching staff will get tired of it also.

    simmons cant shoot but he is a great defender. imagine him and woods. ben is very athletic and covers lots of ground. he can create a lot of turnovers and we can get out and run.

    herro is a fukkin baller i dont care what yall say. i would not be mad at all if we trade for him. that kid has kobe level confidence and this offense he would go off

    With Wood and what little I’ve seen of the schemes from Silas, Harden’s going to find space on the court he hasn’t had before. Not with the Rockets. With time to gel, we could be a nightmare for opponents. Especially if Wall and Cousins can stay healthy.

    PJ finally got a shot. it looked like Harden deliberately trying to get him a shot.

    Wood is so much more fluid when he gets a drop-off than Capela was.

    Big man basketball is back in H-Town!
