Westbrook's shot selection this game is exactly how it should be from now on.

    If he can have this discipline with his shot selection from now not many teams can stop us. I hope he doesn't revert. Harden can only go up from here.

    Sefalosa in 12 minutes has 6 boards.
    Capela in 25 minutes has 6 boards.

    All that matters is that after 48 minutes, Rockets better have a W.

    It’s going to be good and bad with Russ... that’s just what you get with him.

    What we also get is a guy who’s energy is infectious that won’t quit and won’t jack up 3’s repeatedly when nobody’s hitting.

    I love beard and I’m thankful for him. But his energy and effort can’t come and go when he is/isn’t making shots

    We would be all world if WB played like this every game and Harden took his head out of his rear. James looks so depressed...like he can’t handle that WB is actually showing joy and energy playing bball...while Harden just wants to walk up the court ...with that bored style and lull his defender to sleep with the entire team watching him.

    WB's been good... but anybody else want to slap the *** out of Harden for going out there and playing like an ******* for our first two games?

    Dudes playing like he's drunk.

    The problem with Clint is he doesn't rebound outside his area, Thabo, House (when he hustles) and Russ go after rebounds. Clint, EG, Rivers, Harden, they watch all of these rebounds.

    Yep, i think he took 4 of those ugly ass mid range shots and missed all of them lol, but if he keeps those that low i think we can live with that, also cause for how bad he is it's not like he's going to go 0-4 everytime.

    Westbrook's shot selection was way better than Harden's.

    That man is now 3-27 from 3 in 2 games. CALM. DOWN.

    I mean, Capela is probably the center that switch into small players on the perimeter more in the entire league, and the Pelicans played small a lot today...

    Harden starts of slow shooting every year look it up its facts.

    Once he gets his groove back it’s over. Us and clippers are the best teams in the League.

    Nice to have a true superstar next to James.

    I’m not worried about Hardens shooting at all he does this every year to start off the season.

    Now Russ is a sight for sore eyes. It’s so great to see an actual superstar playing with harden. It’s about damn time.

    Go stros!!!!!

    Capela’s problem is he just plays too soft. He has to play tougher in the paint, whether it’s dunking the ball with authority rather than laying it up, or doing whatever it takes to secure the defensive rebound.

    Harden seems uncomfortable trying to tailor his game to this speed honestly...no doubt this just one of those krazy slumps but overall he just seems to be forcing his rhythm...WB showed an ideal infectious style tonight if harden can master this pace this pairing could be just as dynamic as we’ve hoped...

    Actually it's the opposite... I'm just saying don't say this and then a couple of WB performances later, you trash him...A regular theme with most fans... Keep it that same energy.. I've been down with WB since day 1... Through the good and the bad.. He aight wit me!
