    Get well soon Eric! I hope he's with the team, sitting on the bench, cheering them on and making sure they're having fun.

    This post is pure. Tinman hasn't liked it yet?

    @DreamShook is educating the non-believers and folks everywhere! @DreamShook is pure.

    Flashback to 2017 first round - Harden is better because he has "so many weapons" like Bev and Brewer, and poor Russ has to make do with Oladipo

    House as starter, we got all wins. Austin can make Gordon obsolete. I hope Brandon knight can treasure the minutes he plays to have more points and rebounds

    I want MCW to play well, we need all the help that we can get. This is not a ringing endorsement of him, unfortunately.

    We need Gordon back ASAP. Although I'm interested to see what Knight can do in spot minutes tonight, it could get dicey against GS.

    Harden had the #1 or 2 play a week or so ago w that bounce pass between his legs to capela for the slam but ok.

    Y’all are obsessed w this “we’re being disrespected by the national media” bullish!t and it’s hilarious. You can’t get 90% of houston to care about the rockets but y’all demand respect from every other corner of the globe. This whole b****fest is getting old.

    Woah, rivers is playing great but make Gordon obsolete?. Rivers will never be better then Gordon specially offensively. Gordon has struggled this season but was actually picking up his play as of late

    We've seen what he can do in spot minutes. He will never get a rhythm the way his role will be defined in this team, therefore he will just continue bricking. Would be nice if he surges, but not holding my breath.

    I swear if the Rockets were 35 - 0 there would still be some people here complaining about D’Antoni’s rotation or Morey’s signings.

    The Rockets are winning. Harden is in one of the greatest offensive stretches in NBA history. Shut up and enjoy it while it lasts.

    Yeah, that's what I see with BK right now too. If he is given clean looks at the 3pt line that is the best shot for him. But he isn't trusting his body right now in terms of drives and "accepting contact." That will come back eventually. But might be a while. AR25 being here to be able to drive with contact is huge right now.

    Seems defending Harden against media b****ing is not 20+ yrs old.

    My main concern is he can’t play defense, right now, exacerbated by the “trusting body right now” issues, on top of it was never a strong point of his to begin with.

    But, if he can start scoring, and we can showcase that, then ....

    From what I saw, he was OK on defense. Like I didn't see him get totally abused. That said, he MDA had limited his minutes.

    He just looks super tentative out there. Looks like a guy on the floor to "soak up minutes." What is funny (and sad) is he is out there, * in his current state *, and a "healthy" MCW is nailed to the bench. That says a lot.
