    Rivers was a good get. I feel like he will really help in the playoffs.

    1.5 games out of the 3 seed. The next 3 are tough, @ BOS, @ TOR and home vs. PHI. IF we can get everyone back we should go 2-1. .

    His best game as a Houston Rocket by far. I hope it will give him confidence to bring it every night. EG wasn't missed because of him, but we need both of them to give us a big boost.

    Defense first sadly, is not the identity of this team. This is invaluable despite the freedom of movement rules.

    A very welcome and pleasant performance from Gary Clark. Faried wasn't missed in this game. Keep it up Gary. Hope you will be ready to play soon Kenneth.

    Chris Paul's mid range jumper was the icing on Chef Harden's cake.

    The embrace at the end of the game between 2 brothers was something to see, CP3 and Beard. I love the home crowd energy at the end, this is something we will see come playoffs. You could feel it looking it afar. Even greater win knowing that the Magic beat the Warriors.

    D'Antoni started him at PF hoping he'd be the defensive anchor of this team. Instead, the Rockets are one of the worst defensive teams in the league and THE worst defensive rebounding team in the league.

    Tucker should not play a single minute at the 4. Faried and Clark can play all the minutes there. I'm sure the net rating stats favor PJ a lot more when he's not the PF. Faried/Clark/Tucker/House/Green makes us set at the 3 and 4 which is a good feeling going into the playoffs.

    D'antoni had him playing out of position the whole time. I like the ides of Clark at the 4 backing up Faried, i never considered this. That means we just need to shore up and balance our 3 2 and 1 position. I would say this. I wonder at some points can Faried play the 5 while Clark plays the 4 for short stretches

    GREAT GREAT WIN!

    Miami shot the ball very well from long range. They usually don't shoot that well, but they were on fire. And the Rockets still won. The defense by the Rockets in the 4th quarter was inspiring. If the Rockets can unleash that defense throughout the playoffs, then lookout NBA.

    I almost forgot, we were short handed without Faried, Gordon, or Shump. Good to see Clark step up when we needed him.

    GREAT WIN!

    Man, not sure what Faired and Rivers will be commanding in the free agency market, I hope we find a way to keep them. They are a great fit with this team.

    Next three games are brutal. Toronto in Toronto is the worst.

    A big thank you to the great Dwyane Wade, for his last performance in Houston. My favorite non-Rockets player. All class. He showed flashes of brilliance, smarts and toughness. He is a true HOF, and a deserving NBA champion. I pray and hope that our beloved and brilliant James Harden will be able to emulate him and bring a 3rd NBA championship to Houston.

    Wade gave mad props to Harden by calling him one of the most unguardable players in NBA history.
