    Rockets defense got better every single quarter.

    Ridiculous.

    Credit to D'Antoni and Morey for being true innovators as it relates to building and organizing a team. Lebron and Anthony Davis are two of the top 5 players in the NBA and the Rockets just THROTTLED their team. The Rockets' consistency over the years despite massive roster turnover is impressive. Speaks to very high quality coaching. Should have won the ring in 2018 but had the injury to Paul and the 0-fer from 3 against the Warriors in Game 7.

    I think this could be our year.

    40 - 45 3's more attacking the basket is way better than 60 3's and less attacking. Obviously they can still beat us but this lakers team looks overrated. Id be more worried about the other LA team. They need to bring this D again next game cz Leberm and Lebrow gonna try and be superman.

    Also, surprisingly, the national commentators (Mark Jackson included) called it pretty neutral tonight.

    Crazy part is this was just an average game from Russ but his presence was certainly felt

    the thing is, not too many players like Harden and Westbrook that can do what the Rockets do with this style.

    Man.....I really can't decide who to give game ball to

    Harden: MONSTER our best player and killed these dudes.

    Westbrook: SHUT ME UP AND KILLED THESE DUDES

    Gordon: SHUT UP ALL OF CFS AND KILLED THESE DUDES

    PJ Tucker: DEMORALIZED BOTH LEBRON AND ANTHONY DAVIS

    Ahh Space City.....give me a few minutes of happiness before you make me vomit with those 3 names....Foster and Brothers should have to wear Laker jerseys when they officiate.

    That was too easy.
    I expect Silver to make adjustments to make game 2 more competitive.
