    I love that Viper core. Real stingy defense. A lot of 3 ball shooting. I can see Dwight + Vipers doing a lot of damage on the court.

    While we're at it, maybe we can also put an end to the Canaan should start nonsense.

    Yep Phil Jackson did it in the playoffs so many times... He would always have wildcard players you wouldn't expect to play.

    What a puzzling post this is. 2-3 and a big time steal in 11 minutes isn't bad. Made a 3 pointer. Solid defense.

    Expected this to be a loss, 2 starters out, tail end of back to back, opposing team wants revenge badly, towards end of season when inclined to rest starters, and to top it off in Mile High city, one of the toughest to play in due to altitude and O2 adjustment issues... Not surprised at all. Woulda been nice to win, but whatever.

    Fun to see the Vipers on the court at the end. That was an interesting experiment that might come in handy in the playoffs during stretches. Injuries happen...

    What's up with harden's injury? Any news?

    Agree...don't slide starters back in when they played like a bunch of yellow dogs...no energy,no pride, no hustle, no heart.

    Canaan sucked. 2/10, 1/8 3p, what a performance. When his 3s do not go in, he's a pure liability.

    Rockets embarrassed themselves by letting Foye go off for 30 and 15.

    Yeah but generally the more experienced players will make better decisions, better plays and have better composure when things get tight. But anyway I ain't too mad, the reserves deserved it.

    You people complaining about Mchale not putting in the starters are stupid.

    These 3rd stringers deserved to be in there more then the starters. NONE of them showed any effort at all in the game.

    If Rockets lose home court for the play offs remember this game. Win them all, then rest.

    Jeopardy? Seriously?

    We just have to go 2-2 or better IF the Blazers win out...

    One more loss from the Blazers and we only have to win one more game to secure.

    Lin should have stayed on the floor over Canaan while the rest of the starters sat. Could have made the difference.
