    A highly efficient game from Westbrook. It was encouraging to see that. I was concerned that the Rockets had no defensive strategy against their pick and pop
    shooting and off the ball cutting. Stronger teams will exploit our weaknesses better than the Suns. Turner needs to work harder in practice with our guys.

    he will..trust me. just like i saw clint becoming better when i saw the first 2 games with him n russ.

    im watching the lil things before everyone else sees it. like he really makes it hard for the offenser player.

    nothing cheap, just moving his feet...using his body when he should. staying straight up....using the baseline to pin the guy he defending. im saying it. im dont know what the advance stuff say...but i bet he our second best defender. n maybe right behind tucker. can the nerds look this out for me please

    Ayton was coming back, and luckily they missed him.

    Good win, Suns are no joke now.

    I still wouldn't play him 40 minutes in the Playoffs unless it's the later rounds, but okay, the postseason is fair. However, consistently playing him 40 minutes this early in the regular season is beyond negligence and malfeasance. It's destructive.

    True true so true if we look at 23 the wrong way it's going to be a foul.

    Nice little win! It's hard to be unhappy with what we saw tonight. Not that it was perfect, but perfection is a pretty stupid expectation. Geaux RoX!

    McLemore from the bench is hot, that's good to see and you saw today that Westbrook can get you the type of baskets that CP3 could not and we need those drives and fast break points big time.

    Really? He just scored 17-18 points in 7-8 minutes down the stretch in the 4th quarter.

    Per bball reference Harden is AT LEAST top 3 in Win Shares, Offensive Win Shares, Box Plus Minus, and VORP, he also leads the league by a sizable margin in 538's RAPTOR model. So no, I'm not just looking at "points scored."

    He did make a lot of points in the 4th quarter, and all 3 of his steals were in the 4th quarter. That was awesome. My point was his shooting wasn't good.

    You do realize he was 1 of 10 from behind the arc before the 4th quarter and McLemore was 5 of 8 don't you? Yet, McLemore only takes one more 3 and James takes 7 more. James also took as many shots as the rest of the team combined in the 4th quarter, even though Tucker was the only one shooting worse than him. I just hate when he has to be the pig on bad shooting nights. It's selfish and stupid Sure we won, which is great, but James and his hero ball can get old.

    Actually the solution is developing Hartenstein.
    This is the time to push him todo better and work on his vertical game

    Teams cannot hack him either
