Props to Rockets signing players who makes up for Harden's terrible hustle and defense.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

Yeah that’s how it works lol.


Normally, I'd agree with you. A lot of the time it's just one team hitting the shots that the other team misses.

But this isn't the case here. Just look at how many offensive rebounds the Rockets have. Just look at PJ Tucker going after every loose ball like a madman. You cannot tell me that there's any Cav on the court that wanted this win as much as PJ Tucker and Clint Capela.

We miss Thompson badly. Use that Nets pick and get us a goddamn rim protector/paint presence. Ayton or Bamba please.

Great game. Shows the potential of the Cavs IMO, and did it without 3 key components.

Good game Rockets fans.

Cavs lost in Houston 112-117 last year, so a 1pt improvement, we did have one less FTA though.

Why is an OKC Nuggets game blacked out in Illinois on TNT?

And Harden gets some of the most laughable calls in his favor. Rockets deserved this game because of our piss poor defensive rebounding effort alone. But man, the Beard gets unlimited respect on those drives.

Capela isn't a scrub. He is averaging a double-double and he's shooting over 70% from the field.

I’m talking about the specific loose ball where Tucker was on the ground and 3 Cavs hit the floor trying to get possession.
