    damn, i watched this video expecting to see good execution by the rockets and dwight. Instead i see a mess of an offense, and people not knowing where to go and getting into each other's way. Its a miracle the Rockets have the record they do, probably more because of talent, then coaching. ugly ugly ugy.

    This wasn't much emphasis on good Dwight play considering the title.

    I never knew double lane violations led to a jumpball at half court.

    All I got from this video was we should thank the refs again for the big win over PHX

    The tagline for the video (and the game)?

    "Rockets get a lucky win against Phoenix. Really, really lucky."

    Our offense stunk, defense stunk, and the refs helped us (moreso than Phoenix) down the stretch, no doubt about it.

    Well the good news is that we could be even better cause watching that breakdown was cringeworthy even though we won.

    Lots of defensive breakdowns and sloppy offense execution

    Indeed. When you need to rely on Bev and Refs to carry your team in the 4th quarter, something is wrong with your offense. I'm not discrediting his performance at all because he definitely stepped up in clutch time. Just an observation that this win was atypical for the rockets.

    I think this shows we're only as good (or as bad) as the Suns. Refs call one or two of those properly and PHX escapes with a win.

    We didn't want to take Dwight out so that created the mismatch with Morris. Understandable. But team defense still is bad.

    We also still can't figure out our secondary options on offense and often have to ISO Harden. Great if he was like Lebron or KD but he's not. Now we're ISOing Bev also.

    Lin at the end just confuses the heck out of me, I know he knows, I only hope he fixes it.

    for Jeremy going to harvard, his bball IQ isn't high. I was yelling when he was hedging and trying to help on that last drive instead of staying on dragic. we got lucky goran didn't hit.

    man, do we need to fix our down the stretch offensive execution. Just pathetic McHale. This confirms that McHale is garbage.
