    Again, don't think you truly got what I was saying. I never said Ariza was not a good defender, but it's clear he has fallen off since the first year he was here. People get older. Never said he wasn't one of the better 3-D players in the league, I simply said his defensive ability is overblown on this board.

    I'll take credit for the win. I turned off the game when the Rockets were down 13 points the 3rd thinking this was an unfortunate loss then had an inkling and took a peak and we were up 12. Love this team. Won't doubt them again. But I might turn the tv off for a little bit to let them come back. ;)

    It's amazing and it's been said quite a bit on this board, you may get frustrated when we start off slow, but there's no panic as a fan or on the Rockets team.

    You just expect the shots to eventually fall and just explode.

    People who hate on rockets or harden are just saying now " wait and let's see what they do in the playoffs"

    I hate that just because we won, all of the legitimate criticisms about Harden suddenly becomes 'hate'. Absolute BS.

    That is a very impressive win, was a grind but didn't drop their heads. Harrell & Harden were HUGE.

    You can just see how much fun these guys are having, that reaction from Harden when he drew the charge was brilliant.

    Harrell is really good for offensive. Nene is also good for bench. Dont know how to do if caplea back. Sam derrek is not playing well tonight.

    I remember last night D3 and Caron Butler on NBATV said the reason they would vote Westbrook MVP (after he got a 30,10,10 night against nuggets) was because, if they asked Westbrook to get a stop, he could get you a stop (I know, what?)

    James Harden just locked down a prolific scorer in Derozan on a huge Raptors possession and then hit a clutch 3 to essentially end the game.

    Why are they not entertained?

    Your right, but he was 1/9 with 3pt. I would let him shoot a 10th attempt on 3s, the chance of him making it is high.

    Huge win! Impressive how this team has the mental strengh to keep doing their thing even down 13 in the 3rd Quarter. This is what real great teams do and I think we're on something here...

    Memphis and golden state are the real challenge for the team

    Get in this FOOL'S FACE, MDA

    COSTING this team TOO MUCH in their 85% win percentage in last 25 games - How can you WIN GAMES allowing that?!!

    Wow it just never seems to matter how bad they begin a game they find a way to win...

    We haven't had a blowout in awhile can we have one for the GS game please?
