Strange how strong the team has performed yet every game you hear about "McFail!!!1!" The Rockets doing this all without Dwight Howard a majority of the time is awesome. Love this year's squad.
I'm encouraged by wins like this. Championship teams win games like this where they are hurt, start slowly, but keep fighting back even as the opponent plays unusually well and with confidence. This is the kind of game the Rockets would have lost in recent seasons past. Oh, and remember in November how our depth was our biggest weakness? NOW, (aside from James Harden) its our greatest STRENGTH. Thank you Darryl Morey.
In order for Westbrook to win the MVP he will need to lead the Thunder to the top 4 spot in the West.

Pablo is really good playing the pick and roll. I hope he gets his shooting back and he is really going to help the team in the playoffs.
Absolutely...and considering all the time without D12 and TJones and integrating Brewer, Smith, Prige all on the fly and seamlessly..any reasonable person has to say this has been an outstanding accomplishment. The team, coaches, and GM deserve huge credit.

Both Bull and Bill have said he was playing on a "badly bruised ankle" "Sprained Ankle". They actually said it several times at the end of the game.
That darn Westbrook is flirting with another triple double 19/8/7. This joker will win Player of the Month. Was kinda hoping Harden would win it . Would have been 3 in a row. Dang
Heard 'em talking about it on recent episode of Rocketscast. We are undefeated when Trevor Ariza makes 5+ three pointers in a game. Tonight's game was no exception (5-9) Let's keep that run going.
