    I'm so glad Westbrick is not on the Rockets anymore.

    Yeah, but understandable considering it's his first game in 2 years and on a completely different team. Harden had 6. The TOs were bad tonight and in the 3rd it felt like everyone decided they'd try cross court passes for some reason.

    I'm so happy that we won! Loving Harden, Wood, Wall and Boogie. EG is coming back too.
    Go Houston Rockets!

    Happy New Year to everyone!

    Got to give it to Luke Walton. Very impressive coaching. Took advantage of all of the Rockets defensive lapses and had some great out of timeout plays.

    D definitely needs help. But honestly, teams have just gotten a lot better offensively. Gone are the days when only us and the Warriors were putting up 30+ 3's a game. The Kings, Blazers, and Nuggets all have five on the floor for stretches that can knock down threes. Defending has become much more difficult, and the teams doing better are honestly ones who have faced bad teams or had a blowout or two skewing their stats for opponents points allowed/game. I think our bigger struggle before today was rebounding, and I don't see us figuring that out without getting a bigger PF (nothing against PJ, its just something he gives up).

    Agreed. Also loved their off-the-ball screens to get players easier shots.

    Then all the more reason to play switch everything defense.

    We know that defense works best vs. Volume 3 shooting teams like GSW.
