    Bill Simmons said that the Rockets have finally found their starting five and five best players. The players that started today.

    Looks like you are really looking for drama. They were clearly joking around.

    Great win but we saw the need for a backup center and some bench help. Either trade Asulk for some help or get him back out there!

    Which is fine. Refs swallow their whistles in the playoffs.

    Its these kinds of games that will build this team's character.

    My wife mentioned that to me too. I had glanced away.

    Won't make much of it. Maybe Dwight's goofing around does start to rub the wrong way, who knows; but this was a great team win tonight.

    Harden might be on crutches for the next week, but great win.

    Great game, great win by our Rockets!!! :)

    Okay CF, does this now mean we go on a losing streak? ;). Hope not! We should handle our opponents with any above average effort! Let's keep it going.

    Bench was terrible. Let's call up Covington, Daniels, and Ohlbrecht, at least they'll play with some fire.

    good basketball, no possession seems forced. no forced post play by howard, no forced iso by harden, no forced drives by lin. anchored by great defense, everyone seemed patient on offense.

    I held onto Jeremy in fantasy and picked up AB, but I was thisclose to dropping TJ. Epic sigh of relief I didn't.

    I couldn't agree with you more. However, the truth is that Houston bench is still kind of week.....just 13 points from the bench for tonight in a game where the total points was 111. A healthy Asik would be beneficial....

    Just check out +/- for the bench tonight, just horrible horrible performance from our bench. Really glad that our starters prevailed in this one.

    Great team effort. The Rockets controlled the game from the opening tip. Aside from the foul shooting, it's hard to ask for more from these guys. Now don't cancel out this win by losing at home to the Grizzlies tomorrow night.

    same could be said for the spurs to. it was a physical game where ticky tacky fouls were not called so much.
