    Mike:

    Maybe we were due for one. They played well. They hit shots early & we got a big hole, one we couldn't climb out of. They got to every ball, rebound, fastbreak, we never broke out of that.

    When you're soft & not playing hard, the energy level was down...we have to write that one off & get the next one.

    2 1/2 hour bus ride mess things up?

    Nice excuse & shouldn't have excuses. We can't go there. Doesn't help obviously. There are people worried about meals on wheels & healthcare & we're worried about an extra half hour on the bus? That's not the right perspective. We just didn't do it. It happens.

    (Didn't hear who? Sam?) Spasms before the game. Wanted to try it. Nothing major. Could affect him in Denver. He had them a couple games ago(it started) & played through it. Today, his back tightened up.

    Surprised how the Pelicans came out?

    Not surprised. If I was a Pelicans fan, that's how they have to play & they did it. They were aggressive, they were good.

    Yeah, that would be Dekker. It was mentioned during the game that he went back to the locker room

    Please hop off the Smoove wagon, he's washed up.

    Playing Bev, Lou, James Harden, Gordon, and Harrell together is what ruins the Rockets.

    Dude we were down 20 before that lineup ever came in .

    Tonight , playing pretty much anyone other than James ruined us .

    Day's end, a 3-1 record vs a division opponent is great.

    Win next Friday.

    Never mind Ryno, would use him over Dekker. Dekker is struggling offensively (before it was just defensively) and now body is breaking down, not what you want heading into postseason. Would take Smoove as Anderson's back up. Unless Casspi's thumb is 100%.

    Don't like winning? Or don't like historically good offense?

    Actually they had a lot to lose. The playoffs are still within reach for them. Had a chance to beat Miami but had a horrible end of 4th Q. So they were ready tonight. Boogie or no Boogie. Homers.

    But that's still a bad line up though.
