The Rockets bench reserves are absolute trash. Yikes...

I'm glad Harden doesn't get the same criticism Westbrook got last year any time he was in the game in the 4th with a 5+ point lead. Stat padding!!

For real though, Harden is playing unreal this year. Time to give the man his MVP. If he keeps shooting the three like this, he gets serious consideration for 2nd best player in the league. Needs to perform in the playoffs though.

Missed the game tonight, can somebody give me a quick breakdown of how CP3 looked out there?

As far as integrating with the team?

Zhou missed a good finger wag opportunity.

Goodness - the Suns are just awful...I feel bad for every one of those guys. What's their goal - keep tanking for another pick so they can get another talented young guy who can join their bad team, play video games with them and not get any better?

IMO they need to completely blow it up - trade all those young guys for some talented vets - cause this team is on a perpetual tank treadmill as is. They literally said they play NBA 2K together every night for bonding/team building - that is completely whack if you ask me - just not something that should be part of developing into a professional NBA player. It's like they are a bunch of young dudes enjoying their millions that don't give a crap at all about winning or getting better. No wonder Bledsoe wanted out.

And Jackson was a huge fool for not working out for the Celtics.

He needs to find a way to not suck first.

Fits like a glove. Ultimate veteran that we will appreciate. It felt like our shooters shot better with Paul facilitating their points, but everyone went off so we'll see if that's true against Memphis. Defense was alright, but as a team we have to do better even if we score 140. We're missing Luc so we'll see how that helps. Paul is a damn wizard with the ball, I love watching him.

Chris Paul was totally savage towards Harden in that post game - I couldn't tell if he was serious and/or if Harden was legit pissed or not... Lol - it did seem a little awkward.

If I come into a game wearing a Rockets jersey and start swatting shots, I am getting my Mutumbo on.

Booker is awful man. He's the textbook good stats on bad team type of player. No team will ever have success with him as a #1 option, and probably not as a #2 option either.

He's ass defensively too.

Except Bobby Brown is ridiculously selfish and won't pass the ball.

Meh,...that's his prerogative. :wink:

I'm not sure how it looked from the TNT broadcast, but the TNT Overtime feed showed them horsing around.

He is awful. It seemed like he was mad they took him out of the game when he got that 4th foul cause he couldn't pad his stats...you could almost see the look on face saying "why are you taking me out, we're gonna lose anyway, why can't I get some stats?"...
