    Magic number for the 3rd seed is now down to 8. Magic number for home court in the first round is now down to 5(I think).

    A road win is always impressive. This one is more. The beard is doing it all. If your MVP is putting his body to fight for loose ball, the rest of the team has to follow.

    For the bettors out there: Vegas had the Over-Under at 240! :eek: woof....they were way off. That's only been covered 12 times this year in a Rockets game.

    Lou actually played much better in second half when he didn't force the shots but instead drive and dish.

    You can only hope you get this version of Lou next time.

    Not making excuses, I didn't even see the pelican game but I'm starting to at these bubble teams...even lowly lakers getting up to play the rockets like they got a target on their backs now. Denver gave it all they had for sure And still couldn't put it away. Came out hot, played physical...just got beat.

    Harden with another big time tripdub. mVp

    I guess I'll just lie back and relax and let the S/O go downtown.

    Have to give Harden props tonight. A lot of TOs but after MDA stupidly played him most of the 4th Q last night he still comes out with an impressive game to carry the team tonight.

    Harden makes scoring 40 look so easy.

    As valuable as Lou shooting is, I think his ability to deliver a damn alley or pass is more valuable. No one else on the damn team can pass. No one can hit Capela on the roll to save their life except Lou and Harden.

    Jimmy has to "bring it" virtually every night or we lose. As opposed to the other MVP candidates he is not surrounded by a whole lot. I get frustrated with his TO's and passes sometimes but w/o Jimmy would be lucky to win 35 games.JMO.

    2017 Rockets....


    - are now 13-1 2nb2b

    - are now 15-4 when Harden tri-dubs

    - extend their 100+ points-scored streak to 56 games (NBA's second longest streak since '87)

    - first win with <10 3PM

    - Harden extends his (franchise record) consecutive tri-dubs streak to 4 games . including b2b 40-point tri-dubs

    - Harden gets his (NBA record) 7th 40-point tri-dub in a season

    Deserves mention in the "We will be chased off the line" thread...but OP will probably say DEN sucks, so it proves his point, regardless to the fact Denver has an 80-85% win% over like last 10 years playing at home against teams on a B2B.
