    Still too much IsoHarden. We wont win nothing like this. Solution is simple and easy having Dwight and DMo on the team.

    They may lose simply because the turnaround is so quick. That game tips off less than 24 hours after tonight's game started(not finished, STARTED!). The Rockets do not respond well to those situations. See last year when they had to come home after an OT win in Denver and face the Pelicans(go figure) and looked like zombies out there on the court.

    I knew that **** start wasn't what this team really is. Too much talent.

    Avoid the 8 seed and you never know what could happen.

    Rockets were never favored in this. It opened at spurs -5/6 depending on the line

    Our offense is still cringeworthy at times, but if we play Defense like that for the rest of the year we will be a top 4 seed. Awesome, awesome win. We gave San Antonio nothing. I have been one of those people who have wanted Jones gone but he balled out today (still can't guard anyone). Howard was awesome on the boards. Capela looked like the occasion got the better of him but he still played a good game.

    If you look at the box score, Harden went 7-21 for 20 points, but i thought he was excellent tonight. He had 9 assists and those two huge threes were clutch as hell, he always finds a way to contribute even when he hes been quiet. Considering Leonard has been stitching up everyone this season, and held Paul George to 1-14 and 7 turnovers the other day, Harden was huge.

    Lawson looked very good tonight too and Jason Terry... Take a bow my man. Talk about showing up when it matters!
