    I don't understand how someone gets that bad at shooting 3s after seasons and seasons of being great at it.

    We're just going to tarnish Nash's reputation? C'mon, man.

    Man...I know there is gonna be alot of complaining about Gordon...lol,

    But can we talk about those passes from CP....holy crap dude....that is just amazing. Im serious when I say we should run more Pnr near the block for him cause he absolutely can get it through those tight spaces.

    Sucks when ppl reading cfnet adopt something to twitter, then twitter gets credit ... because media always gives twitter credit...(same with reddit)

    at least Murray knows where "Kicking the Can" came from. @DaDakota

    What a brilliant give and go between Chris and Clint a few minutes back. One of those plays where you just go "wow!" without thinking. I hope it's a trend. I've been waiting for the pair to get the synergy that James and Clint obviously have. CP3's such a brilliant player, and Capela's underrated in that department, in my opinion. He's still growing his game, still trying to get better. I don't see a guy kicking back a little because he got the big contract. The vibes are improving on this team. I like it.

    I remember JVG said this vs the warriors in 14-15 .

    Anyone that doesn't think james is an absolutely special , dominant player is a fool.

    He's upped his game again this year with more consistent defense in the post and steals .

    If CP and Gordon were hitting 3's at their normal clip ( shoutout to CP3 tonight !) harden would be averaging like 13 assists

    Nash’s was good or great but harden is better. Nash was better overall passer but Harden’s ability to control the pace of his passes out of the pick and roll and still hit them exactly on the spot is uncanny.

    He's a classic 3rd and 4th quarter wrecking ball. He officiates innocent in the 1st half then boom

    Trust me, I've watched both heavily for their careers Harden is not better than Nash or even CP(at Pnr passing) .....just my opinion though haha.

    Careful
    We haven't even started our second half meltdown yet.
    You have a short memory. Dallas anyone? TWolves?

    Minny game as I recall we were all-world in the 1st half and
    scored like 25 points in the whole second half

    Last year I might have called it early, but not THIS team

    I'm sorry, but have you seen game threads when we lose? So many posters act like Harden is trash.

    The social media game is tough. I have to work on my internet clout by tweeting at the Rockets more.

    @KlutchQT gets it.
