    Yeah, our rebounding is a team effort. Everyone has jobs to do and none of them are traditional. It works well enough considering we should be horrible.

    Excellent win and the right answer to that loss to Golden State. Can't remember to see the Grizzlies that uninspired and careless on both ends of the floor. D'Antoni made the correct call to start Dekker, Brewer is a little more tolerable bringing energy off the bench.

    Refs were afwul, having to correct each other even on the most obvious situations or even missing them. Gotta be happy that they had no chance of ruining the game.

    Now take that flow to the Eastern roadtrip next week. Good news is we're only having two more back to backs in the whole season.

    They play every other day on this road trip. But after that, the schedule gets a lot easier. February is a joke.

    After last nights really bad effort tonight they came out and led by Dekker they put forward probably our most complete effort on both sides of the ball. Dekker's coming out party was a joy to watch.

    Yep, when you have to play the Warriors and Grizz on B2B nights almost any team would be happy with a 1-1 split there.

    Professional display by the Rockets after last night's debacle.

    You bet this team would have lost this game last season under a similar scenario

    Dekker continues to impress, he's such a great ball handler and explosive off the dribble, if he can consistently hit the outside shot like he did tonight... he should start over Anderson. Also My God what an efficient game from Harden offensively... only needed 9 shot attempts to put up 29 pts!! Wow

    MDA Is really good at minutes distribution. Nene still hasn't played that much even with all the injuries. He is also easing Clint back too.

    Rockets might lose this game every year since '97.

    That female ref was so biased for the Chandler Grizzlies.
    Is she usually this bad?

    Man! Rockets sure do seem like they have a ton of b2b games every season (this season especially). Feels like they've had an uncharacteristic amount of b2b games already this season. It's ridiculous

    She's actually usually a lot better. She was just having an off night.
