    Time to seriously hit the champagne and later, take some fireworks up the hill for some fun. It was a beautiful day today in Austin, and it’s a great night with a Rockets win over a rival.

    Happy New Year!

    Good Gordon is better, especially as a floor spacer for our star PG tandem

    Great win. Perhaps the best of the season. Rockets blew the blowout, then re-blew... against a very good team.

    Rockets should never lose when they shoot 45% 3PT. We shot great and out-rebounded Denver.

    This team would be amazing if Rick Adelman still coach this team.

    I rather overpay a guy who rebounds and is tall then a tall guy who only shoots 3s (he was a Rocket this year).

    Rivers is still a good player though, it really is shame, dude balled out for against GS and took a pay cut to play here.

    Good game to end the year. As expected, Rivers will lose most of the playing time. He will be more important once playoff starts though.

    When the Nuggets cut the lead to 3 at the end of the 4th, I remembered why they are considered a top team in the league.

    Then the Rockets smashed then in the 4th and I remembered why we’re probably the worst matchup possible for them.

    The team is finally healthy. Hartenstein is getting his chance to cement his role. What a way to end 2019! Happy New Year, fellas.

    Rockets played with real effort for 3 quarters. Won all 3 big.

    thats all it takes. The ceiling is high if they choose to make it happen

    Glad D'Antoni went away from House to begin the fourth and let it ride with McLemore after the Nuggets got right back into the game.

    House was very subpar tonight in his minutes.

    Hart should be getting 15 minutes every game here on out. We can only pray this doesn't turn into another Trez.

    What's annoying is the Rockets should have won the games against the Kings, Spurs and Pelicans. If they did they'd be 26-8 for the 2nd seed.
