    You could even see the older female Jazz fans scowling and heckling the Rockets and refs. A little kid was trying to interfere with an inbound pass before someone moved him away.

    I may be in the minority, but I believe this team is more well rounded than previous seasons, including last season's team. In previous years, if Harden had the type of game he had tonight, it was almost automatic loss. But this year is different. D'antoni has more faith in our bench, playing 9-10 man roster. Our bench was pretty solid on both ends keeping the game within reach. We showed a lot of grit and tenacity tonight. It was a very physical game and poorly officiated in my opinion. But in the end, a win is still a win.

    Great team and court focus to withstand their early game adrenaline and keep playing

    and the Rockets won 65 games last year, were 42-3 when CP3, Harden, and Capela were in the lineup, and were 1 of the best defensive teams in the league last season...you’d swear we were average defensively last year the way you’ve been talking...

    this was a nice win, but let’s not act like there’s no way last season’s team would’ve pulled this game out against Utah...that is most certainly underrating them

    Good point about the bench. MDA broadened his rotation, which says a hell of a lot about his faith in them, since he's notorious for having a short one.

    Karla, Stockton and Sloan are always in their hearts. They even teach their kids to do bad things on the court.

    Still ragging on him. Doesn't matter what he does. PeterKingX just can't get over him. LOL

    I think he's talking about the team playing now, not the team during the regular season last year before Luc was injured. That was a huge blow to our rotation during the playoffs.
