    16 point lead very good. All is right with the world. No need to go to the edge of tomorrow.

    Is James Harden the best penetrator in NBA history??

    Outstanding man defense on the perimiter from the role players. Very impressive.

    A real shooting big on this team, even an average one, and they are title favorites.

    Covington/Tucker/Green will give us a chance though.

    Great first half.

    Shots dropped but more importantly they are locked the F in defensively.

    I like it heh heh heh

    I like the new wrinkle in having Green run point. Reminds me a little of how the Warriors would sometimes run their offense through Draymond.

    Harden needs to continue to body that rat shrewder to the rim, he's too weak, cant settle for those contested long range jumpers when they're not falling.

    Dennis Schroder cannot guard James Harden.

    Man, I need to be dishing out some apologies to Eric Gordon. Love how he attacked the basket.

    If they can shoot like this, we're gonna be just fine. It will be like Snoop Dog with a Corona.

    Looks like CP3 was instructing his young squad to get under our skin but Harden is clearly living in Schroeder’s head rent free.

    We need to come out for the 3rd and step on the gas. Keep the pressure on. OKC is outmatched. Prove it.

    Very nice 1st half. I’m guessing OKC is going to have a lot more ball movement in the second half. Might see them start trying to double to cut down the drives.

    Just gotta stay focused and play smart

    Keep the defensive intensity up.

    keep making your open shots.

    keep cooking harden.

    They are a clutch team so don’t give them confidence going into the 4th.

    1 more good quarter should do.

    let’s get it.
