    Opposing teams always go ham against the rox from the 3pt line it's crazy.

    There isn't a lot of guys who are centers and can shoot the 3, and other than Porzingis centers who shoot the 3 in the league can't defend so you can't pair them with Anderson.

    We may get on Ennis a lot but if Bobby Brown isn't scoring, what is he doing?

    I'm so over this media hype train about Harden and his defense. That's all they can ever say

    I think they're trying to see who they are cutting to make room for Dmo.

    So long as Harden plays 40 minutes a game and no one gets hurt, the Rockets might be above .500 this season.

    I think he was in that first half. But were you watching those longer possession? He would pass around looking to see if anyone wanted to take a shot or drive at the rim, and the ball always ended back in his hands. The rest of the team just doesn't have a ton of confidence right now, and he's being forced to run everything offensively.

    He played an unbelievable first half. But that's not sustainable. A second scorer or playmaker needs to emerge or this game could get ugly in the second half.

    the nfl even with the ratings being down and their disdain for cam and his dabbing recognize his talent, the nba is a great sport to watch, but man their analysts are dumb as rocks

    Not really.

    He did a phenomenal job in rage first half.

    But at the end of half he went on a few plays where he was forcing the offense.

    You know, sometimes, SOMETIMES.. I can't blame them. You have a lot of games to keep track of in the NBA. It's not like the NFL where you can watch other games over the course of week. the NBA has multiple game on everyday; you almost have to fall back on the tired old narratives just to have an opinion in the moment.

    I think we are playing pretty well. Cleveland had to hit some ridiculous shots to get that lead, along with foul after foul for the first half of the quarter.

    I hope we can keep this up. our D isn't spectaculareally, but we've seen worse in our first few games.

    you can definetly blame them, what stops them from admitting steph curry is a bad defender.
