    Honestly not trolling but what leaks are you referring to? I don't remember any leaks about Morey against the trade. Genuinely curious.

    Harden will have a 2 week stretch shooting 40-50% from 3 on high volume to get back to his career averages...it’s only a matter of when that stretch will come

    It ain’t just James then. Starts st the top with morey and the analytics and the coach as well.

    I dont understand how harden can put up 40/7 AND Westbrook puts up 21/12/9?

    I thought it was only 1 ball?

    Too close for comfort at the end but I'll take it!

    Can somebody send Eric Gordon to the Fun Doctor? When his shot doesn't fall he's poison. Especially when he takes that 1929 shot (19 ticks left on the shot clock, 29 feet out) he knows and loves.

    It's enough to cause a Great Depression

    I trust EG enough to know he'll show up at least in the playoffs. And the dude can be a relentless rim attacker also so he isn't a zero when his three isn't falling when he decides to attack the paint. He's easily the third best player on the team at attacking the paint.

    glad we got the win. But Harden's dribble dribble dribble step back 3 is getting really old and ridiculous... He probably is one of the most boring superstars in the league today

    When they lock in on defence, they are really dangerous. Problem is we can't do it for 48 minutes yet

    That third quarter was a thing of beauty, shows what the team can do if we start hitting our damn shots. And the Thunder aren't a bad team at all, so I'm fine with the game being close--keeps the blood flowing.

    I gotta say Westbrook has been doing almost everything right so far, even his shot selection has been smarter and he's so passionate and athletic that it blows my mind to see him play.

    And I think it speaks volumes of James Harden's greatness when he scores 40 and everyone (including me) knows he can be much, much better. Can't wait til he finds his usual rhythm behind the line. Same goes for Fun Guy Eric. I know he'll be great soon, his shot was wet during the preseason, and he was stretching the floor waaay out.

    I'm very encouraged. The Rockets just need to get more used to each other and figure out some of the defensive stuff and everything will be golden.

    What you don’t talk to harden? No synergy
