    The good feeling of Rockets never losing a game when I go live to TC, quite a big sample size ;)

    Rockets have been top 10 in both OFF and DEF efficiency in December. Top 5 in overall Net Rating.

    Encouraging stuff.

    a good win. harden played well, and tjones gave a surprising good performance.

    but i am not excited. i am holding my breath because a tough stretch of our schedule is about to begin. will see how the team does.

    feel like there have been some positive changes, but may not be enough.

    last night w/ about 2 mins left it was a tied game, could've gone either way. and the fact that charlotte as a team has a better record than ours kinda pisses me off a bit...

    Seriously? The whole team was playing bad basketball or inconsistent ball game before this win streak.

    Have you been sleeping under a rock, way to blame it on 1 player.

    Ugly game... but i appreciate the fact that Harden was more active on the defense...

    - ive been ragging on him mercilessly - so i'll give credit as well! :)

    I'll give Harden credit when he does it for all 4 quarters and consistently throughout the season like last year

    I think Jones can be a more consistent performer when he gets a run of games (injury free) like he's been getting of late. I think it would be a mistake to trade him.
    With Jones we know what we get - unlike a Morris, so better the devil you know.
    Glad we got the win last night, esp when Charlotte drew level. We seem to have a knack of pulling out the close ones.
    But DAMN the refs were horrible (both ways). But gotta feel sorry for our bigs Howard & Capella especially.

    Lighten up.
    You can't tell me that TJ doesn't regularly get stuffed under the basket.
    Happens on a regular basis.

    Don't have anything against him as a person, but would still like to see him in another teams' jersey. Regardless of his 1 decent game
