H-Town on a special edition jersey is cool. That font sucks though. 

[ChickenSandwich 9834]

Playing well tonight. Westbrook on the break is fun to watch

[BigOrange1 6436]

this is much more fun than the first couple of weeks.

[HtownHorn 14677]

wtf happened to Portland? They are horrible now. When does Nurkic get back?

Yes. When Harden is scoring at will the Rockets are much better to watch.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

The energy and transition offense that Westbrook has brought is infectious. The improvement since the first 6 games had been impressive. We are a real contender.

[ChickenSandwich 9834]

Damn Clint. 20 & 17

[NowThis 931]

very rare in sports to see 0 vs. 0.  Had it tonight, consider yourself blessed.

[NowThis 931]

so they waived Ryan Anderson.  They gonna pick up a real big now? Andrew Bynum?

Hartenstein is starting to take a similar step that Capela took in year 2. He's becoming a legit rotation player. He needs to play regularly now.

[BigOrange1 6436]

next 4 are gonna tell us a lot: @ denver, @ clippers, vs. dallas and vs. miami.

Sigh, I'm going to miss Dallas being terrible.

Dallas will always be terrible...it's the Mavs sucking that you'll miss.

Last night had all the makings of a trap game and the Rockets did not disappoint. Denver on the road will be a good challenge, although I think the Rockets are up to it.

Glad Ryan Anderson was waived - he never should have been signed in the first place. Chris Clemons and Isaiah Hartenstein are solid contributors especially on defense. Bench shaping out to be Chris Clemons, Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, Eric Gordon, and Isaiah Hartenstein - that's a playing rotation of 10.

Random fact: Isaiah Hartenstein is apparently Afro-German (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Hartenstein) 

[HtownHorn 14677]

Maybe Gordon doesn't come back. This team is much better when he's not on the court bricking shots and allowing his assignment to score at will.

[BigOrange1 6436]

another awful half from westbrook...

[ChickenSandwich 9834]

Meh. Down 3 at half. I’ll take it. 

[HtownHorn 14677]

Damn House can't stay healthy.

[Tylerocks 2553]

Looked like shit last night.

Lots of bonehead plays/passes.  They guarded Harden pretty well.

 

The flagrant foul on McLemore was a joke.

[HtownHorn 14677]

The Rockets needs another wing badly.

[BigOrange1 6436]

westbrook is just not good.

[BigOrange1 6436]

harden, on the other hand, is.

[TexArcher 37774]

Beautiful third quarter so far.  

[NowThis 931]

Trainwreck can't make a FT, can't make a jumper and has missed on 3 or 4 lobs to Capela. He's easily a negative 10 on all that. Had he executed on those just as a typical NBA starter, Houston would be up by 15.

[goatsaag 279]

Using the constant double teams on Harden to get Westbrook the ball in space attacking a rotating defense 4 on 3 should lead to some pretty good results. No one else on the Rockets can really consistently attack those opportunities.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Our guys are getting hammered and no calls 

[NowThis 931]

tied at 76, the Clips bench has outscored Rox bench 32-13.  Badly need Gordon and Green to return.

and Trainwreck blows the layup trying to be too cute.

What the fuck is this camera angle they are using. It’s horrible 

[BigOrange1 6436]

4 fouls on the rockets in the span of about 30 seconds.

Terrible.  Felt like I was getting motion sickness.

[SilasCoade 2622]

I know this is the wrong thread, but I hate James Harden and think he's terrible for the game.

[TexArcher 37774]

You're right -- it really is the wrong thread.

[BigOrange1 6436]

how many fucking layups is westbrook gonna brick?

[BigOrange1 6436]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT JAMES HARDEN

[TexArcher 37774]

PJ is a bad man.

[BigOrange1 6436]

 

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Harden missing the and-1 freethrow may be crucial 

[BigOrange1 6436]

fuck off russ

[TexArcher 37774]

Why the fuck is Russ jacking a 3 there?  God damn.

[goatsaag 279]

Westbrook has to get the ball back to Harden there. Jacking up a 3 is awful

[DaysOff 7947]

Bad.

"I'm 1 of 6 on threes, but fuck it, I'ma shoot another because we're down by 1 and I suck at math and three-pointers and I'm the only one who matters and did y'all see my shoes, tho?"

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Clemons was wide open

[TonyTexas 10510]

 

[Zepol87 9185]

I’ll be in Houston on Sunday for the game. Lmk if anyone wants to kick it before the game

[NowThis 931]

Trainwreck reminds me of Puig who is genuinely a tard.

The two blown layups are unforgivable ma fool. Keep in mind, we're going to see this for the next 3 years and the clown show will get worse.  Not to mention this will waste Harden's HOF career with the idiot glued to his side.
