    Best win of the season. The Rockets FINALLY looked like the Rockets. Everyone seemed to know their roles in this game and function as one. #RunAsOne! :p

    We have been seeing some dud box scores with Tucker and Ennis. Games where they have 0pts and 1pt. And tonight, 12pts and 16pts? That kind of production from the starting forwards is HUGE! And quite frankly, going to be needed moving forward.

    Chris Paul. I have been HARPING ON THIS and will continue to do so. But AGGRESSIVE Chris Paul is the CP we need. Not passive. LOOK FOR YOUR SHOT! I love CP's passing, but on THIS TEAM we need his scoring. Because we can't count on Eric Gordon right now.

    Speaking of Eric Gordon....

    Gordon is struggling on wide open shots, as he is 9-41 (22 percent) on wide-open 3-pointers (wide open is defined as no defender within 6 feet of the shooter). Just for reference, Gordon hit 43.3 percent of such shots last season

    Uh, this needs to turnaround. Quick.

    PJ T H I C C playing ANOTHER 41 minutes (while SICK). And a +26. SO T H I C C!!!!!!!

    lost in all these. capela ("overpaid') vs another $25+ mil premier center and absolutely held his own. but of course, you won't hear much of that. it isn't how that goes here

    I'll also add, Capela played 36 minutes last night at high altitude. Stamina is an issue for him and he battled through it.

    good breakdown of a play in the denver game

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Last Night, In Basketball (11-13-18)<br><br>The Rockets showed Nikola Jokic ~nine different actions in seven seconds and it was all designed to get him LOST IN SPACE. This will shock you, but the sequence ended with an easy dunk for Clint Capela. <br><br>Subscribe! <a href="https://t.co/LCKYjbP0bU">https://t.co/LCKYjbP0bU</a> <a href="https://t.co/HL0Zmm9Jyt">pic.twitter.com/HL0Zmm9Jyt</a></p>&mdash; Yaya Dubin (@JADubin5) <a href="">November 14, 2018</a></blockquote>

    Rockets can legitimately win all 7 or at least 6/7 of their upcoming games

    Amen. I am feeling bullish after that great win. Yes, the team needs more tinkering, but our defense starting to show signs is fantastic. The joy, (sorry, I think part of it is minus joy-less Carmelo), also seemed to return.

    truly this deserves its own thread. please don't let this remain buried in the game thread, I almost missed it and I'm sure there are a lot of others who have missed it also

    its crazy to see people actually think one of the great offensive coaches in league history just has his teams out there playing pick up

    59 points allowed at halftime

    Huge turnaround if we allow <105 for the game.
