    Withstand the first 5 min of this game. This may be the craziest home crowd we've seen in quite awhile in the playoffs. Rockets win by 8.

    Return of Road Anderson. Brings KAT out to the third point line and watch him retreat to the weak side corner >>

    That’s how it is in the first round. Too many games if every 2 games, and that’s with 3 games a night already with how things are

    While keeping up our stellar defense. Overall rebounding will need to be better too. The Beard needs to have a big game on the road. Go Houston Rockets!

    They can't have four games per day on the weekdays. Ratings would suffer due to people being at work. They've had three games per day which seems to be fine. The long time between games gives us a chance for our injured guys to recover anyway.

    D'antoni said something last game when he was mic'd up that will basically determine our playoff success.

    He was saying not to forget who they were and what their identity is. He said play how we did all year, we shoot 3s and we defend. Keep playing like who we are.

    That's gonna be huge as the playoffs continue. Things are gonna slow down a bit but the rockets have to continue to be who they are and not change the way they play.

    If we can get Gordon clicking this time this could very well be a massacre

    I’m here for Flamethrowing RoadRyno.

    But I’ll also take an Eric Gohan appearance as well.

    Don't get fixated on the 3's. The Rockets have been at their best when they have shown versatility on offense, while maintaining solid defense. Take mid range shots, dribble and push the ball up quickly, put the ball on the floor and attack the rim. Even our role players barring Clint can do that.
    I'm not saying to stop ball movement or taking 3's, but over depending on them will put us into trouble.
