We're going to be hell for contenders in the playoffs. If only we could beat the bad teams,

 

It's not interesting at all. Those types of plays happen all the time to a bunch of different players.

 

Jesus, did that guy in your sig really call Watt an unathletic loser?

 

zero defense. he's better at guarding small forwards but against the spurs?

 

Village Idiot gonna Village Idiot

 

Great win, great game.

It's been a terrible year, but every once in awhile last year's team shows up.

Just to be fair, DMO has already had one or two good games since he's been back.

 

Where is the gif of him forcing a bad pass from Green?

 

Harden is far from a volume shooter. Lol. He was awesome today.

Tim Duncan on #Rockets: "They were very physical and take it over the top, sometimes. Such is basketball and they had us on our heels."

haha music to my ears..the bully got bullied

 

Awesome game! Everybody kicked ass except for Corey Sewer- complete garbage.

 

Great win.

 

Nice!

 

You do not have to force yourself to defend him.

Both Jones and Moti are flawed, they are what they are.

Jones will score more, rebound and block but make mental mistakes that the majority here cannot tolerate. Whatever.

Moti is just inconsistent, not a good shooter, good team player and a good defensive guy when he gets more games under his belt. Not a lockdown defender.

He cannot rebound very well and block shots with his 7ft frame.

Yes his post game is good but this league is about shooting now and face up game is you could say more important. Different era.

The Rockets would be much better if either Jones or Dmo could shoot like Ryan Anderson from the parking lot.

Or with James Harden playing a lick better defense like against the Spurs.

 

Yup but a 29 old Duncan would be different to defend.

 

Finally got to watch a game in Houston on TV for the first time in ages with my brother-in-law from SA, huge Spurs fan, who's got great season tickets that he's had for years and years, sort of like heypartner. Spurs are killin' the league, have won 7 straight, and he's expecting them to win, of course. Ha ha ha! I love it! What a Christmas! Thanks for the win, Rockets, gift wrapped with a huge bow for all us rabid fans. I'll be throwing this win in his face at the dinner table every Christmas for the next few years. Yes I will!

On a more sad and disgusting note, what's with the crap posts from a few members who seem incapable of enjoying such a great win on such a great day? Are you people nuts? Sick? Demented? From another planet? The b*stard children of an Orc with terminal diarrhea of the upper orifice? Dropped on your head while a baby? What is it with you people? Thank god I am not you.

The rest of you? A magical day. Hope you all have a great New Year. Knock a few back for me, OK? I'll be busy returning the favor.
