    Let's never forget that Jeff created SaveOurRockets and stopped Les Alexander from moving the team and becoming the Kentucky Fried Rockets

    He did it, the power of the 99ers can stop billionaires

    What I like is even when we're not hitting our 3's we've still found a way to win games. To me that's a sign of being a real contender.

    Good read, but I strongly disagree on giving up mid ranges. Reason is simple. in regular season, opponent teams do not have enough time to make as much specific plan for defence. In 7 game series, they would. You do not expect to win in playoffs by giving up one third of the offensive space.

    Very cool article. I really enjoyed reading it. It's hard to pick a favorite of the reasons listed. One of them might be winning the games that they should. It's hard to do that on a consistent basis. But not winning all of the games a team is supposed to is something that GSW has done, the Rockets have done, and most teams have done. It's harder than it seems. On any night in the NBA even the worst teams have a chance to win.

    One thing I like about the way the Rockets win is where their scoring comes from. Harden and Gordon almost always score big. But the third scorer could come from a number of options which is a great sign for a team. Sometimes it's Harrell, sometimes Ariza, sometimes Patrick Beverley, sometimes Ryan Anderson. I like all of it, and this is a fun team.
