Houston Rockets
Already there. (Well, almost.)
That Yahoo content is basically the social media version of First Take. It’s DESIGNED to elicit a reaction. (And I reacted to it!) But that’s where we’re gonna head. NBA Social Media is getting more homogenized every day and it’s all run by people who live in two cities.
Robert Covington scores 20 with four blocks https://t.co/YQdLxNPLQq
RT @KendrickPerkins: I know the Rockets are Playing Golden State but unless Tony Allen, Bruce Bowen or Ron Artest are coming outta of retirement, I don’t see nobody stopping Russ, Harden and the Houston Rockets offense. They are really scary and I’m anxious to see who comes up with plan to stop them
RT @dan_bernstein_: Russell Westbrook spoke about his ejection tonight and what he feels is an unfair negative perception of him in heated moments. https://t.co/KPinyTbvLU
The Jeff Green experience is going to hit a lot of you hard this season.
While he shot the ball poorly (3 of 12 from 3-PT range), James Harden still manage to be efficient (64.2% true shooting) and a team-high +32.
Really nice win for Houston.

James Harden and Russell Westbrook had 50 points and 20 assists. P.J. Tucker, Robert Covington, and Jeff Green made 14 of 20 (70%) 3-pointers!
The #Rockets (35-20) won by 30 on the road and have now won six of eight games overall. Good night. #OneMission

Road rout: Covington, Tucker shoot smaller Rockets past Warriors https://t.co/TIhwvrcJ71
The Rockets were up by 35 when Westbrook got ejected after getting into it with some Warriors players.
Rockets blowout the W's 135-105 in their 1st game post All-Star break. Houston nailed 25 3's. 6 players finished in double-figures including 17 from Jeff Green who was terrific in his Rockets debut. RoCo had 20 & 4 more blocks. PJ hit 5 3's & James/Russ each had double-doubles
RT @mshap2: 12 different #Rockets played in Golden State on Thursday night, and eight hit a three in Houston's blowout victory.
This roster is unconventional, but it looked more than functional as the Rockets kicked off the final stretch with a barrage of threes.

“We’re on a mission.”
Harden talks to @KristenLedlow after the Rockets get the dub at Golden State.
The Houston Rockets stood tall in the Bay Area with a 20-point demolition of the Golden State Warriors! 🚀
HIGHLIGHTS: https://t.co/lU7raxcmBK
Draymond Green was suspended in the 2016 Finals because of flagrant foul points. Dwight Howard also drew a suspension because of flagrant foul points, but he hit the number during the Rockets elimination game so he served in the next season
@AdamSpolane I thought they carry into the playoffs because of what happened to Draymond in Reb ‘16 finals
Tucker, Harden, and Russ all played 30 minutes tonight. You love to see it. #OneMission
FINAL: Rockets 135, Warriors 105. You hate to see it. Rockets crush the Warriors out of the gate, drop in 25 threes and get revenge for the Christmas Day embarrassment. Harden 29p-10a through 3Q, Westbrook 21p-10a, Covington/Tucker/Jeff Green hit 14-20 3P (!)
Why are some of #RocketsTwitter already passing judgment on DeMarre Carroll after a whopping 13 whole minutes of play? Dude hasn't even practiced with the team lol
RT @Fonzo_Ball: The Rockets are finally playing how they should with contributions from everyone on the squad 🚀 😎
#Rockets win easily at Golden St 135-105. Jeff Green in his first game with Houston: 24 min, 6-8 from the field, 4-5 from three, 17 points. DeMarre Carroll first game with the Rockets: 13 min, two points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists.
Rockets win in an absolute BLOWOUT: 135-105.
Jeff Green with 17 pts, 4/5 from 3 in his debut, DeMarre Carroll with a pair of FTs, 4 assists, 3 reb in his.
Harden with 29 pts, 10 assists, Russ with 21 pts, 10 assists.
