Watching Gobert trying to defend Harden around the perimeter is glorious.

If they're not going to rotate Gobert off of Harden this is going to be fun!

It's crazy how much of an effect Luc has on this team.

Paul is looking sharp as hell out there, my god. I love his mid-range game so much.

“Putting 3 guys who typically have higher than a .300 WP48 on the same team is a STUPID idea. You guys should be smart like OKC and put 3 high volume shooters who typically each have under a .125 WP48 on the same team, idiots.”

“WHY DIDN'T IT WORK???!!! CARMELO MUST HAVE LOST A STEP!!! MAYBE WESTBROOK ISN’T THE RIGHT GUY TO BUILD A TEAM AROUND. WHO COULD HAVE EVER KNOWN THIS BEFOREHAND?”

Rockets spam 3s. Chris Paul likes those long 2s. The fit is horrible.

Second highest +/- on games played vs missed on the team.

I need to get the chart finished for the year at some point...

Harden & Paul have to love having a guy like Capela down there.

Usually we state it the other way around, but man, they must love knowing that Capela is there!

But...that Utah defense!

This is why I keep getting frustated with people saying that Houston has to worry about matchups...it's other teams who have to stay up all night worrying about Houston!
