    And the Warriors lost to the Bucks....you will always have those losses.

    think of it this way, we started favourite against the Nuggs and Nets...but not against the Spurs, Thunder and Clippers. Our record would be the same if you flip the results according to favoritism

    I wouldn't want to face the Spurs at any stage in the playoffs. Popovich will rip our hearts out with adjustments each and every game. We will always be a step behind them in rotations etc.

    No. Harden hitting a ridiculous 3 one the game. His lineup almost cost them the game with missed FTs.

    I mean...

    I guess I'd rather it be this way than 0-4 to the good teams and 5-0 vs. the bad ones. At least it shows we're capable? I don't know.

    yeah I consider first month of November/December as Rockets "Pre-Season" due to all their Reality TV Melo Drama...take your pick, Lawson, DMO coming back, injuries, McHale on and on and now they beat the Spurs lol

    That's not fair. JB had a hand in this win too. Rockets played the Best D they've played all season.

    So when are people going to give JB credit for putting Capela in the starting line up ? we are soaring since he did that

    I would put that more on the players. It's effort. They showed it for the whole game tonight. He refused to play Thornton at all especially when we went cold and scored what 2 points in like 4 minutes or something like that? Played Brewer WAY to much and continued to play him and only gave DMo 6 minutes when Capela and Howard were missing FT after FT minutes Capelas last 2. Hell Lawson should have played a lot more as well considering how well he was doing. His rotations are awful and they will hold this team back. How do we expect this team to excel without guys like Lawson, DMo and Thornton? Yet they barley play.

    Color me shocked. Sorry I doubted you, Rox! Obviously, we played well and matched them pretty much the whole game while taking it. It is our best game and win this season. They earned it.

    JB is a coach. So, he will never get credit for anything good. But, he will get blamed for everything that goes wrong. Fans.:rolleyes:

    Great game to be at! Both teams shot pretty poorly, especially the Spurs. Not taking anything away from our defense though which may have been the best all season.

    Go rockets and merry Christmas everyone! Lets keep it up!

    That was JB's best move along with starting Beverly over Lawson. However, JB is killing us with his reliance on Corey Brewer over Marcus Thornton. It's unreal.

    We cut out turnovers down, Terry turned back the clock, TJ hit puberty, Dwight held down the middle & Harden came up Clutch in the Clutch!

    We win the second half 50-41

    Second Half Shooting:

    Rockets 16/34 47% FG 12/19 ft
    Spurs 18/48 37.5% FG 2/2 ft

    Tony Parker held to 1/7 shooting.
