    Rockets looking like they're ready to fail.

    Happy getting the win, but disappointing considering expectations. We clobbered MIN every time this season before tonight.

    Won Game 1 with one of the worst shooting nights you could have from three while Minnesota hit their threes. Not to mention only Capela and Harden showed up to play tonight.

    I'm not worried one bit. However, if they continue to play like that in games 2 and 3 then I will start to panic a little.

    Got the W but only Harden and Capela came to play.
    Game 2 - the whole team shows up = blowout

    WOW that was a terribly highblood inducing game . No thanks to you CP3. Hope this is just a simple first game playoff jitters. Glad MVP harden showed up. Still its a win. Do better next time please.

    Harden was Jordanesque. Capela is for real. The rest of the team was MIA. Surely they will not play that badly again in the series. They couldn't hit anything. Gordon and Ariza were awful. CP3 was disappointing. Green played fairly well and JJ played hardly at all.

    MDA now boasts a 28-33 playoff record.

    Better than when he entered tonight.

    I think he's just getting senile at this point, he called a Dieng mid range a 3pt shot at some point.

    Also, on a side note, I went back and checked that free throw play. Even though he was really close to handing the ball to the ref, it was correct to let it play on. KAT didn't travel.
