Should be fun to see how they play without Harden tonight, the Paul/Splash backcourt combo of doom need to bring it tonight!

Also stop giving up so many easy baskets in the paint, you taints.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Agreed on both points.

Payton's hair is the most amusing thing about this game so far.

Maybe it's just because Harden is out, but tonight I'm really feeling the "wow - Chris Paul is here" thing.

10 assists in the first half.

This Chris Paul fellow is good.

What a great time to be a basketball fan. Never had this much excitement since Rafer Alston, I mean T-Mac and Yao.

I bet there's a pyromaniac out there who's itching to set his hair on fire.

Only 3 games in, but Gerald Green looks like a great signing so far. It's nice to have another shooter who can come off the bench.

Once the Rockets get everyone back he's going to keep getting some minutes at this rate.

Luc, Tuckwagon, Nene, Green, Black & Gordon off of the bench is really nice!

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the minutes get distributed. I'm liking this 10-man rotation though. Maybe MDA reads these boards.

Pretty crazy to think that Tucker doesn't have to shoot once to have an impact in this game.

On the subject of Mr. Elfrid, let's play a quick game of "Spot the Photoshop"

It seems like yesterday when this guy came out of the draft. He has looked great so far. Not bad for a 32 y.o. veteran.

Have you seen those videos that show where even at age 31 he can get his head over the rim?
