    It feels so weird having a defense.

    I agree. The defense was also bad because Silas is a new coach with no practice to figure out what he wanted to do. A lot were ready to throw him away because he was figuring things out on the fly -- with a disgruntled Harden.

    Yep.

    We have tons of interviews and quotes about how much the Rockets loathed two point shots over the MDA years, I'm not sure how it can even be argued at this point that it was a near mandate not to shoot them outside of CP3.

    And yeah, it was silly how they passed up on easy looks especially when sometimes the shot they'd end up with would be a contested 3.

    I’ve never been so bored watching our team break their franchise record of 3-pointers. Love it! As our friend Eric Gordon so memorably said: “That was sweets to see”.

    We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of our defensive potential. I don’t even know WHAT we are offensively yet but today was an eye-opener for sure.

    Next game will be tough. OKC will come out energized and looking for revenge—but I have faith that the good guys will grab another win!

    OMG how I love having 2 centers who can shoot 3's!!! That's so cool. Cousins and Wood 7 of 12 from behind the arc, 35 pts and 19 rebounds!!

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! We just set a franchise record! Wooohoooo. So much to love about our team. Everybody brings it!!!

    OKC sucks so I still want to see how we do against good teams at full strength, but consistently beating down inferior competition is a great sign, and extremely fun to watch.
