    Outstanding team win. Guys played hard and together.

    Like a lot of you, I hope Harden sees it and realizes how the offense can work so much better at a quicker pace.

    I hope ALL of the guys realize just how good they can be when they really focus on the defensive end.

    I love Harden, but, man.. feels amazing to see other players finally doing something other than him.

    MDA was too focused on Faried being able to shoot threes when he should have focused on if he could get his own shot at the 4. Faried barreling into the lane getting buckets was huge.

    Good win but I really wish this team could play like this against the bottom tier teams as well. It's like they have a fetish for playing down to their competition.

    In the end, team basketball wins. Tonight the Rockets moved the ball, played for the best percentage shots, defended with aggression and I loved it. Harden is a great player, but hopefully, he learned something tonight. It takes a team.

    Things we learned from this game:

    1. Go big, go hard
    I don't wanna see no stretch PF again, we have a crew of brickers ok? All that spacing isn't gonna help, Rox take the most 3s but are the 23rd most accurate 3 pt shooting team in the league. It's time to accept the Rox have the wrong personnel for the "T" half court offense. Replace that useless "space" with big boy rebs and blocks

    2. Tucker is probably having a hard time at PF I mean dude is like 6'5 defending big bulky 6'8 guys. Put him as the starting SF permanently he can guard the SFs of the other team and maybe even have an easier time scoring.

    3. The defense feeds the offense
    Like I already said the Rockets aren't the most talented team in the L, apart from Harden, CP3 and EG we don't really have great scorers on the team. But if the defense is first class and the rebounding is first class then does it matter if the Rockets are bricklayers? If we take enough attempts the shots a re gonna go in and we have super athletic guys who love to run N gun. Just make it fast paced, defend hard and then score in transition. Play like the Nash Suns, I heard those guys were pretty good.

    Chris and Faried have no FEAR and ice water in their veins.
