    Beating the Warriors at their place with both curry and Durant having big games. Harden's shot wasn't falling, but he still had a triple double. I can't remember the last time the Rockets played this well against a big time competition where both teams were playing well.

    Took a lot of grit and effort. A real tough fought game from a mostly jump-shooting team.

    They didn't wilt and put their heads down when they lost the lead. I gotta give some of that to coaching. MDA has made a big difference

    We live for days like this. Great moment for Rox fans, hope it's a sign of good times ahead.

    Not to put a damper on this, but do we really have to go to Denver tomorrow?? Lols...

    That was the best game since game 6 against the Clippers.

    Even in that game they pretty much had a monster 1.5 Qs. This was more of a complete game I felt.

    hearing charles saying harden has to get 30 points every night for us to say competitive while the warriors have players that can just flat out score maybe we need to find away to get rudy gay without trading ariza I know rudy gay has a bad rep around the leauge but harden has to we might need him more than we think.

    Great win. I have faith in this team. Just need to clean up those random losses to low teams. A lot of guys showed up tonight. I hope the role players gain the confidence now.

    I was the biggest Sam Dekker hater but man is he impressing me.

    Oh and please play more Montrezel. Goodbye D Mo.

    At the end of the day this game means nothing. It's just a regular season game on Dec 1 between two teams that won't be close in the standings.

    This felt good. I've cooled on the Rockets considerably over the last 2 years.

    Hadn't repeatedly shouted at the TV in a very long time.

    To fight like that is unbelievable. That is one hell of a heart. Warriors invicinbility is gone.

    I think the Rox might be the only NBA team that's beaten both spurs and warriors this year

    If you can't muster up something a little more positive than that after one of the best games of the year than you need to refocus on why you're actually watching. Just enjoy it.

    Please please dont follow this huge win witha lost to the thuggets. We were swept last year.
    That would be demoralizing and the biggest lost of the year

    This game shows the Rockets are tough and together. We need these qualities for the playoffs.

    Back and forth trading buckets. This game was so awesome, I'm going to rewatch it again later tomorrow. After the Denver game of course.
