    I'd love to see Tucker run into Schroeder in the bubble

    They are in the same wing. They are gong to run into each other.

    I really hate OKC the more I watch them. Dirty shots every game. Nobody can lay a hand on Paul without drawing a foul, yet he can wrap his arm up through James and pull him to the ground and not get called for a foul. He can climb all over Tucker and not get a foul. He can throw in nut shots and not get a foul. I can't stand him. Gordon can get clobbered and not draw a foul. It's ridiculous. He should be at that foul line a lot more than he is.

    shoutout to Covington for finally hitting some shots

    Russ looked rusty as hell...he was dribbling like he had 3 broken fingers

    Harden just has a different type of energy when Russ is out there

    also, I like that Harden wasn’t spamming the dribble between the legs stepback this game...he had 2 assisted spot ups, and the rest were easy pullups...he also attacked quickly on “Harden stopper” :rolleyes: Dort

    speaking of Dort, I’ve never seen a player fall right into the other team’s hands to this degree...he doesn’t realize he’s wide open for a reason...there comes a point in time u gotta stop telling a guy to keep his head up and keep shooting...I hope he continues the foolishness...exposed badly today

    Shai is a traffic cone on defense...most of OKC’s perimeter defenders are...keep attacking

    Where are all the Harden haters tonight?

    They were so quick to jump on him as soon as we lost the last game, but they're not here to praise him when we win.

    I dont even understand why he is so bad at shooting; his shot mechanics look fine. His shot mechanics look so good I worry every time that he will start hitting those eventually. I'm glad even though Dort is a terrible shooter, Rockets got a hand up.

    Schroder has security on speed dial...he wants no smoke with PJ

    he doesn’t have CP3’s experience with nut shots...CP3 is better at making it look like an “accident”

    Best play of the game goes to Tucker for taking one for the team and getting Schroder ejected!

    If that had been Paul they wouldn't even have called the foul, and certainly wouldn't have ejected him.

    Don’t forget Schroder ejection. They’ve overcome double digit deficit to us but I feel like that Ejection killed any chance.

    I just want to see House, Covington and McLemore cut the mops off the top of their heads and Harden shave the beard. That would be a nice change.
