    Dammit CJ, now the team won't want to trade you.

    We actually look quite good to me. Second unit needs fixing that’s all.

    What was Tucker doing there? He needed to be in the corner.

    Also thanks Harden. We know what you did.

    A win is a win but the real story is what the fuck is going on with GTJ? Injured? That wouldn’t explain him pouting like a little kid on the bench.

    Yay....we edged the depleted Rockets in OT at home. A win is a win, but that is comical it was that close.

    So we beat a team that was missing 4 rotation players... that's not too impressive but it will raise team morale and we saw the defense start to come together in that second half. It's also nice to see both Dame and CJ get some shots going in. It's not an impressive win but it could be an important one.

    I thought RoCo and DJJ defended Harden well he was just unstoppable. I think you actually want Harden to take the 3 when defending him so I think they were too aggressive.

    "Stotts never has any players who can play defense."

    Proceeds to sit one of our only players who plays defense and is a young stud.
