    Lawson didn't play at all.....I bet he's gone as soon as he is eligible to be traded.

    We are like the 10th or 12th seed.....forget last season. This season we suck. All wins are good wins.

    Yeah, Brewer was the reason the Knicks built that 14 point lead in the 4th to begin with. Back-to-back stupid turnovers. Harden didn't help matters with a bunch on ISO ball, but he at least contributed to the win. Brewer needs to sit on the bench til 12/15 when Morey can unload him.

    I'm surprised Fisher didn't exploit having Ariza on Kristops in the 4th/OT. That's a 7 inch advantage.

    Unless we go into overtime again. Or we'll get blown out and Howard will be sitting the whole fourth.

    And 2nd half defense has been very solid and aggresive. Must be said.

    Agreed. The defense picked up.....they played like they cared and actually won. Amazing.

    The game was AWFUL. Rockets didn't have that many turnovers because they were walking it up every time. That isn't how the Rockets play. They hardly pushed the ball at all...

    having an off night is not the same as 'trying to lose'. the problem is he's too inconsistent and even last year when he was a MVP candidate, he was def one of the most streaky superstars out there. that's always been a problem for him, but that's why you need 2nd or 3rd guy that can step up in case Harden has an off night.

    It's encouraging that the Rockets were able to win this with Harden scoring less than 30 points. A more efficient Harden and this game is a blowout.

    I dont know if someone can pull up the play...but before the huge 3 by Thornton...he made a huge jumper, b/c Beverley waived off Harden who was wanting to ISO. Instead they ran a set play...AND IT WORKED!!!

    Hope someone can pull it up.

    Playing halfcourt definatley limits our turnovers. I liked halfcourt ball and shooting less threes. We got away from analytics this game and it worked. We shot midrange after midrange.

    So there was a stint in the fourth there where the Rockets actually played nice trapping defense. Hope we see more of it.
