GT: Houston Rockets @ Utah 12/7/2017 9:30 CDT

[Mr. E]

Damn, Houston! That was how you come out of the halftime break!

Let's just finish this one up.

[moofs]

Can we please go back and talk about the fit?

Such an awful fit. This has no chance of working. There's only one ball.

But hey - OKC is guaranteed to be great!

Too many guys going for a triple double. Only one Steven Adams and one Andre Roberson.

Wait, are you guys suggesting that the OKC thing might not be the best idea and could have trouble working?

[Mr. E]

No - Houston is the one that won't work. It just can't.

The experts and people on the internet have told me that repeatedly.

[inquisitive]

wth was that call on black?

[Mr. E]

Utah is going with some pretty hard fouls.

[Mr. E]

Spaceman can only hit the 3! That's all he does....oh yeah, he does more.

[Mr. E]

People who hate the rise of the 3-point shot in the game are crying right now.

[Mr. E]

I know that I am an unabashed Anderson fan; but the dude came into this season ready to work. He was already a good interior rebounder, but I'm seeing some serious improvement in his play down low.

Geez man, I remember growing up when rookie Shaq came into the league, my uncles would complain, "This stupid game is all about dunking! When they invented it, not everyone was 7'! Yeah, THAT takes a lot of skill. Dunking at 7' tall. Gee whiz. Why don't they raise the rim to 12'? Nobody can pass or shoot anymore!"

You won't believe this, but now that there is NO argument that they can't pass or shoot, they're still complaining about how easy it is to dunk the ball.

Yeah, that won't work in today's lowly era. Maybe in the future they will allow more than one Adams, one Roberson and one Spalding.

Triple double for everyone!

experts? i prefer calling them sport reporters
there is a reason why no team hiring them

[MaxRider]

this is one of those game i feel like we won't win without CP3

It's the damn fit!

[MaxRider]

It's the damn fit!

it's because team try to shut down the paint and 3pts and force us to shoot mid range
there is no one better than CP3

[King Roosk]

this is one of those game i feel like we won't win without CP3

I was thinking the exact same thing when I was watching last night. I think CP3's ability to run an effective half-court set could be huge for us against teams like Utah and San Antonio that try to slow things down by staying locked on the perimeter while leaving the middle area open. Other than a Harden iso/fadeaway mid-range jumper, last year's team didn't have any answer for the Spurs when they forced us into the middle.

We've been absolutely crushing teams and I love it. We've got a tough schedule coming up starting Saturday -- 8 games in 13 days -- so let's see how this group handles it.

Sport reporters? I prefer calling them "writers who weren't good enough to land a gig that actually required real writing, and weren't quite smart enough to sculpt words for the big boys and girls sections of the paper".

[Mr. E]

It's the damn fit!

Chris Paul gelling quickly with the team and looking like he’s having the time of his life is a clear distraction so we won’t see the poor fit.
