    They're really jamming CP3 at the elbows

    Ariza playing slip and slide and CP3 and Harden both instantly there to help him up.

    Paul and harden definitely have some chemistry to work out .. But that will come
    With experience .

    This is only their second game together against pro competition .

    To me both need to gain some comfort as scorers off the ball .

    So Harden nor CP3 doing much off the ball and CP3 already taken out of his natural game, which is look for mid-range shots and lay-ups. Good job MDA, great mf-ing job!!

    They are just a tick off right now. They will adjust.

    Paul has gotten bumped several times with no call ... I wonder if he is gonna get the rockets treatment ... I thought he might be above it , but maybe not .

    If they start calling Paul for tacky **** on D and don't give him his usual calls on offense then we might actually be in trouble lol

    Exactly ... This whole game , the team is just a half step or so off .

    I'm not worried .

    It might just be this game, but Harden looks like a better passer than CP3, while Cp3 is better at taking less risks and fewer turnovers.

    We are beating them playing a very poor brand of our basketball.

    This team is still TOO LEGIT TO QUIT! (someone give me a MC Hammer gif)

    In the end, talent wins out. When CP3 comes in at the beginning of fourth, he will extend the lead to ice the game.

    it's just this game. CP3 is a way better passer than James. James is arguably a better creator though because he's a better scorer.

    is there any competition at 6MOY? i think gordon might repeat

    We are just brute forcing this win. It's like smash mouth football; you just keep ramming it until it starts going through.

    We're fine y'all .

    Despite so much being off , a lot of things have worked and when they've worked it looks effortless .

    When we get into form and pj , Luc , Ariza , and the crew is flying all over the place and James and Chris are sharp ...

    Let's just say it's gonna be a very interesting year.

    Rockets aren't going to dominate every night. But they're going to be very good and win a lot of games against good teams.

    Hell...they're up 7 right now and all y'all are losing your minds.
