    On my old unit basketball team we had a standing rule that missed defensive assignments were 10 pushups a piece and blown layups were 20 apiece. You were either going to be smart or strong lol. A missed layup like Tucker's would have been 50....lmao

    Tucker got to the rim and ran out of talent.

    Best defense we have played all season. Very encouraging finish to the half. I feel we should be up by more though.

    No load management for James Harden?

    The man is carrying the offense while playing outstanding defense on Kawhi.

    Meanwhile, Tilman saving his money and burning out James.

    Gregg Popovich calls timeouts before most coaches when the opponent goes on a mini-run, yet Phil Jackson used to never call timeouts when an opponent was on a run because he believe in letting his team work through it and weather the storm.

    Two all-time great coaches with opposite philosophies. So who knows...

    Miss Green. Mclemore misses so many wide open shots for a specialist 3pt.

    Anyway, love the rockets intensity. Great defense and some lucky breaks on open threes. Harden is balling. Hope wb can be a difference maker in the 4th after sitting out most of the game.

    Really proud of Rockets toughing out that 5min stretch of BS. You know it was crap because NO OTHER PART of the game was like it. Capela playing like a man, and Harden making things happen.

    If Rivers or McL could hit a shot then we'd have a 20pt leave.

    Either way, kept Clips under 40 for the half.

    The Rockets defense was encouraging. They are busting their asses tonight.

    We’re ahead by 12 at the half, 49-37. Somehow, we’re managing. If the refs were human, we’d be ahead by 20. The Clippers have been full of suckage.

    I think this is by far the best defensive game he played in this season, and when he's engaged everyone else is. Clippers are still missing some open shots they won't always miss, but still...

    Harden plays offense and everyone else plays defense... I like it. Quit shooting Clemons, mcclemore. Rivers... shoot. Tucker... shoot. Sefalosha... shoot. Harden scores career high 70 pts.
    Tomorrow’s headlines: Lebron James could reclaim MVP title this year. Lakers a lock for the championship. Harden: I’ll take another bottle please!
