    Didn't want to beat his next team. In tough West, Harden's Blazers will need every win they can get.

    Missed the game but watched the highlights. Really impressed with Wood, I think we got a really good player.

    sterling brown is a much better defensive matchup on no-layups mccollum, hopefully silas is still just feeling out his personnel

    It’s crazy that Rockets fans continually need proof of how good Harden is. We are so spoiled. He puts up all star level players career nights multiple times a month.

    As for other contending teams fans, you guys are absolutely insane if you aren’t hoping your GM throws the moon at the Rockets. Stone needs to shut the phone down and see if this team can light it up and keep Harden here.

    11-28 from the field and got carried by CJ to beat this extremely shorthanded team by 2 in OT...

    ESPN says Lillard is a better player than Harden, but Lillard will never even be able to hold Harden’s jockstrap

    if Harden and Lillard swapped rosters last night, Harden and his team would’ve committed child abuse

    The sad “what if”... if Harden kicks that back out and Wood hits a buzzer beating game winner, what are we (and the media) saying today?

    Nobody thinks Lillard is better than Harden. ESPN doesn’t care what they put out but ******** on Harden gets more clicks than putting him in the top 3. They tried to will Anthony Davis into best player in the NBA every single year and he couldn’t even get a team to the playoffs.

    Caboclo plays 4 minutes when we are missing three rotation players. That tells you how much playing time he’s probably going to get this season.

    they don't even have to compliment or thank him

    just giving him a sliver of benefit of the doubt is too much to ask from them

    It took a career game from CJ to beat Harden/Wood and some NBA STREET NPCs.

    Many players shoot lights out to start the season.....then accumulation of games, getting knocked to the ground,
    small aches and pains, fatigue and the result is players not shooting as well in about a month.

    Kyrie Irving is shooting 64% from 3 after 2 games. I don’t expect Kyrie to shoot that well for the entire season.

    CJ and Lillard were very much a two man team on offense. Wall would make them work a little harder on the
    defensive end hopefully.

    I truly believe this quarantine will help this team bond together.....much like the trip to Japan during Olajuwon’s
    time. It’s an “Us against the world moment.” And I felt like Harden chose our side....even if it was for just a brief
    moment. The team solution was watered down with Harden included.....now the bring back the other ingredients
    of Cousins, Wall, Eric Gordon and McLemore after a couple games. Harden got a feel of it being his team again.

    I think it will be hard to trade a $40M contract during the season while getting value back.......might as well make
    the best of the situation you are in.......winning solves a lot of the underlining issues.

    Great game from us. Without EG, DC and JW losing by two points, in overtime, against a 'contender'.

    Harden has to remove Portland from his wishlist after this. One down, 5 to go?

    Tate was good. I saw him playing during his stay in Belgium, never thought he would be this good. I guess that makes me a sucky scout.

    If I were Stone, I would try to trade House + a pick for a serious upgrade on the 3-spot.

    J. Tate is a 6’5 scrappy Pat Bev.
