    How about a list of things you like? I'm not too crazy about imbalanced threads that side with the negative.

    Outside of our team defense, I actually don't hate anything. I guess that I'm too happy about seeing this new and improved Russ(decision making) too be to upset about anything else. Russ playing like this at least gives us chance, if and when we can ever upgrade defensively and get a sound system in place.

    Harden will be fine, and Russ looks like he is serious about changing. There is a lot more to love after 2 games than hate imo. I didn't expect to start out well defensively anyway.

    I think it's pretty cool too. Suits him just fine.

    He was serious about changing last season and did it well until pg13 injured his shoulders and just wasn’t the same guy he had been to that point.

    It is exciting to have an actual all star next to harden who can score 25+ every game and get triple doubles.

    It’s about damn time Morey got a true star next to harden..... Took long enough.

    Harden has the team and the guy who can take over when he’s off.

    Now is the time to win a title.

    Harden was way off last night but he’ll bounce back. What I didn’t like was seeing him lunch 18 three point shots and only connecting on two. The lack of mid range game it’s just ridiculous. No way we do anything in the playoffs with this style type of basketball using the current lineup. Actually, I’m probably more disgusted by the lack of defense. This is the worst defense I’ve seen in the last decade, much worse than last year.

    My starting house theory has been a success so far. Glad that’s working.

    Once Harden turns it on this team will be rolling. He needs to stop forcing 3s though. He does look lethargic on D and on o so far. I would rather him go hard while he is in there and play 5 or 6 minutes less per game.

    Preseason ain't regular season. I can score 20+ against the Shanghai Sharks

    No you can't.

    And Rockets didn't just play the Sharks.

    Westbrook's hairdo is a huge distraction. The other players can't concentrate. They keep thinking they are playing with one of the Little Rascals.

    Yea the point is preseason play isn't anywhere close to real games. Just because Harden looked good in preseason doesn't mean he's in regular season shape. Harden CLEARLY didn't put in any offseason work

    I get what you're saying, but I disagree. Harden did his work in the offseason.

    Is our defense as bad as I think it is?
