    Paul George is playing on another level right now, can't wait to see how Iman fits in with our roster. Please win Rockets.

    The reason I’m thankful Morey is our GM is because he didn’t draft Westbrook Harden Ibaka and Durant and not win a single championship, while letting the 2 best players walk for nothing.

    As a fan I don’t care if my owner pays 66 million in luxury tax. That does not affect me any. In fact I wish our owner would do that. Wasting the best year of Harden by dumping salary and playing games with House. So glad we can no play a lineup with 5 guys 6’5” and under.

    It is going to be interesting to see how the Rockets deal with the Thunder rebounding. Adams and Grant.

    Like any game with the Thunder, it is all about rebounding. But without Capela it is going to be a struggle.

    at least roberson is injured...CP3 is the x factor, he's going to have to score, since they're going to take the ball out of Harden's hands...he needs to get his 3 back.

    No .

    That was a joke . The bonus for making the WCF has already been counted because it was classified as "likely"

    I expect Adams to be a problem, would be good if Nene had another Utah kind of game in the bag. Regardless, we just need to play defense and shoot well enough, i'm confident cause against good teams we usually come out with the right attitude.

    Man if Nene can just play 20 minutes of tough basketball against Adams I'd be grateful.

    Interesting that Shump was actually our consolation prize after deals with Memphis, Miami, and Boston fell through. Sometimes Morey's plan B is better than his plan A, see Pau Gasol trade, Bosh signing, etc.

    So is he starting at the 3 then?

    No backup PF available in this game with Clark in the G League (and Ennis traded). Kind of surprised be this.

    Rockets gonna go Tucker & 4 smalls?

    Unfortunately, that money goes to welfare queen Michael Jordan and his part-time hobby of owning the Hornets.
