    It’s comically funny how wrong they are. They literally said the opposite of what Webber said live at the game, which is Lakers throwing the ball inside too much w/ forced passes leading to TOs. Both didn’t credit Rockets defense for any of it though.

    Barkley had the dumbest take that he didn’t even finish, that now - not explaining why now - there’s more pressure on Harden and or Westbrook to be great every night. Uhm isn’t that what they’ve been doing most of their careers? And Capela being gone puts more pressure on them how?

    Yeah, I wouldn't have predicted a 10 point win either. Thought before this game that it would be a 10 point loss, if that close. Glad I don't bet on sports anymore.

    I hope this at least gives pause to all of the ringchasers in the conga line to get the Clips or Lakers to look at them. Hey, Houston doesn't suck after all! And have you seen our strip clubs....?

    Covington will have more blocks than Capela in his first game as Hawks. I was watching Covington all game, he plays a control game. A few times he could of jack shots up. Mainly, he plays everywhere and isn't scare to try to get the big guys (A.Davis). We will love him for his personality off and on the court. Fire Morey!!!!

    Love the Spongebob one. 32/13 and 18/9/15 aren't bad, but nowhere near what Davis and LBJ had to think they were going to do at home against that bunch of midgets.

    Look at Harden teaching people how to have heart

    So fun that watch. I havent stayed up for an entire west coast regular season game in a while.

    Funniest thing to me...rockets were supposed to be the one "worn down" according to the TNT "experts." But, the game sure did close out looking very much the opposite. Big men are gonna be forced to chase our guys around. So fun to watch. Outcome extremely satisfying.

    Great that Daddy D'Antoni didn't have to spank them after the game.

    And to think that RoCo just joined the team the day of the game...such a seamless insertion into the lineup. Imagine getting the chance to build some chemistry, cohesion, and familiarity. Very good player. Looks like the best acquisition of the deadline. Honestly

    He can pretend all he wants like they didnt have controlled post possessions when the game was still in the balance all he wants. The rockets speed and athleticism in defending those possessions was, and seemingly still is underrated. That's a good thing for us. Keep trying

    Hartenstein and Chandler must feel like outsiders on this team. Highly paid cheerleaders.

    There is no reason that RoCo or PJ cannot rim run after rebounds against Jokic
    and then let's see who loses their legs in the 4th
