    RJ Hunter looked a dependable PG for 30 seconds than Webber ever was. No more Black clumsy defensive lapse was also good. We finally looked like what we supposed to be. What’s the excuse for Anderson though.

    Yeah. Rockets also did well protecting the ball - only 9 turnovers.

    I counted him passing up like 3 wide open looks. Bjelcia outplayed him and had a quicker trigger finger on his 3s.

    Better defense this game - the team as a whole played more physical. I was glad to see LMM knock down some 3s and Nene was huge.

    Just wait till ariza n green are back. Ariza is a key piece too make no mistake. That's why I loved the luc move. Cuts his minutes down. N green. I'm intrigued to see him with the full team. Maybe cuts harden n Gordon mins down. Which is helpful. We just need that big like I always to sandwich between capella and days the Nene doesn't play. (Tyson Chandler pl3ase lol)

    I can’t wait to see a lineup of:

    R.J. Hunter
    G.Green
    Troy Williams
    Zhou Qi
    Black

    I would love to have a physical enforcer type presence inside.

    Harden is the best playmaker in the league because he's one of the biggest threats to score, himself. Even a rusty Harden made a difference out there.

    It's not the same style. First harden has played with Capela for years now and has a year already with Nene. Second and most important when harden drives the line you have the leader scorer in the NBA and will always garner more attention from the defense. Lastly Hardens size helps as well to get into areas with his length and strength Paul may not.

    All that being said Paul still is the better passer and player around but in the lane where the space is smaller. Hardens elite scoring ability and size give him the advantage in getting the ball to our big men.

    They played the 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th at home. They played in Orlando on the 16th and in Houston on the 18th.

    Houston played 1 less game in the same time period but went to Detroit, to Chicago, to Houston, to Phoenix, to Los Angeles and to Houston.

    So...at worst, the schedule was a wash.
