    Zach Lowe suggested a possible CJ Mccollum trade down the line because he doesn't think a starting backcourt with him and Lillard is feasible on defense. They're explosive offensively but redundant. Wes Matthews in his prime was a much better fit.

    Really amazing start. We should be a solid 13-4 but i'll take 11-6, especially after witnessing what the Texans are doing.

    I don't know why....when healthy they beat the Warriors as well.

    Lakers have a decent squad.

    Rockets are still learning the system.

    They are showing signs of dominant basketball.

    Eh, the Thunder loss p-ssed me off, but you could argue the Pistons game shouldn't have been a W. I'm honestly over the Lakers defeat since they're not exactly the joke of the league they were a year ago. In fact, once they're done kicking the crap out of the Hawks tonight, they'll be 9-9.

    When the 3s are falling Houston looks unbeatable.

    Contributions across the board gotta love it.

    Seeing more solid defense being played when it's needed.

    Capela and Gordon were awesome.

    yep and on top of it all, this Portland win makes up for the Lakers loss if we wanna look at it this way...I didn't see the Rox blowing out Portland like this on the road in my crystal ball...might be time to throw it away this year

    I wasn't able to watch the first half, but I thought the defense was solid in the second. I know the score doesn't reflect that though.

    The Lakers are smashing Atlanta into shreds right now. They are not as bad as we thought they'll be.

    It's gonna really be hard to decide who to trade and who to trade for if we continue to improve play like this. Chemistry is almost as important as talent. We know Morey will make a trade, especially now that more of our players will be wanted. What he decides to do will be interesting to watch.

    Ariza celebrating with Ryan after that made 3 got me thinking they really do enjoy playing with each other.

    Lots of smiles on the team after the game. Complete night and day contrast to last season's chemistry. We went from visibly showing dislike for each other (even on the court with the cameras rolling) to genuinely enjoying each other's company. Stay healthy and continue to get comfortable with the coach's system.

    What an awesome victory. Especially after that nonsense I seen from the Texans. I'm so glad the Rockets made my night. So many big time shots and plays from several players tonight. Gordon off the bench was amazingly hot. Ariza was sizzling hot as well. Harden was being Harden. Capela was very stout tonight and Anderson did his thing as well.

    Great freaking win

    LOL....that goes without saying. I still think Brewer and Ennis have no trade value, well make that negative trade value. I mean, of our starters and Gordon, someone will have to go in order to get another "star", if that trade presents it self by the deadline.....say a potential Cousins or something.
