    Defense. Did you get a chance to see him lock down Ryan Anderson For the last GW possession? Hard to miss it

    Thornton has been terrible the last couple of games. He sometimes wants to do to much :(

    Who was the 5 squad when we went on the 17-0 run?

    If you aren't sure, don't reply.

    Let's see what Morey can get done on February 18th to get the team a PF.

    he will always put up shots, you just have to hope he gets hot. I sometimes think he tries to play faster than his body can allow him to

    He's streaky. Which we can live with as long as 2 or 3 guys a night are on. Lately, it's been Ariza and Harden. That's what drives me nutz about JB. Part of coaching is finding the hot hand and running plays for those guys. He's so p-ss poor and in-game adjustments. He must've picked that up from McHale.

    Good win but so sick of Frauden averaging triple-doubles.

    Back to back win, on the road, without Howard.

    Great win!

    Right. Teams are probably lining up to trade us a legit starting PF for two players that can't help them in any way. Good suggestion.

    Sure was....winning this game should have been easier once their best player went out, but a win is a win....

    Beggars can't be choosers, especially this season.

    3 games over .500 for the first time this year.

    Nice to swing a few wins together, defense was pure ass as usual, but we made some timely shots and it was an exciting game. Good game from Harden, Ariza and Beverley.

    Josh Smith wearing last year's jersey cut is pretty annoying I must say.

    DMo might be coming down here to the RGV and play for the Vipers to get into game shape. I will be there if he does.

    I was just thinking that this is probably the 1st time they're 3 games over .500. And only 0.5 game behind Dallas for 6th, and 1.5 behind Memphis for 5th. Gotta keep this momentum alive. Wednesday's game is gonna be HUGE!

    That is just crazy. Does Mad Meta Smoove really tip the balance that much?!?

    The Rockets really seemed to lose their steam towards the end of the game, so it was a great job to pull off the win. This was the type of game the Rockets won regularly last year.
