    My analysis of this game tells me that it should be Deke night, every night. That glorious man's voice must be like a dog whistle for the other teams. To me, it just makes me think of good times.

    Good shooting practice.

    If you say joombas name enough times he will likely appear, he's sort of like beetlejuice.

    Great win! Garbage opposition but great to see us blow them out, especially with Harden taking a night off. Let's go on another streak and continue this good defensive effort.

    The Rockets are still playing poorly, you don't see the players enjoy to play in the game and very few excitements at all.

    The blowout is more because the Kings suck so bad rather than our own performance.

    MDA really need to do something about this team.

    We weren't good on offense tonight again I agree, but last year's team gives up 110 to this Kings outfit tonight. Good to see some application on defense.

    I don't really agree we have good defense in this game to cause the Kings low scoring, its more about how poorly the Kings played to be honest. We gave away lots of layups in the paint like nobody give a sh't about it. And of course, Cousin is a quitter when things not going his way and then the whole team and their coach are just bad.

    Great game.

    Rockets hold opponent to fewest points this season 83 points.

    Ryan shooting well lately. The fact he did it @Home (where he's been struggling this season) is a great thing.

    Can't read much into this because Kings are our D league team and we often just lay the smack down on them

    Rhyno found his stroke at home which is a good thing considering the number of upcoming home games

    Yea team is playing poorly, but hey we got a win out of it for once. It's not everyday harden scores less than 20+ points and we win with a blowout

    Maybe this team need to win a close game against a good team to put some excitements back to the players and we can pick it up again.

    I kind of think that win at GSW actually jump started the win streak for the Rox.

    Yeah finally another blowout win! Stand out performer of tonight for me is Ryan Anderson. Dude has been really bringing it lately I hope he keeps it up.

    *The last 2 mins showed how screwed the Rox would be this season if the Beasley trade didn't happen. Beasley would be useless as he would be quickly outplayed by Harrell/Dekker and we would totally suffer with bobby brown as the backup pg the first 10 games.

    *Cousins is wasting his talent in Sacramento. He's one of the few guys I'd trade Capela for.

    *The Rox need another big time scorer, even more than they need a big man. Our 3 man center rotation of Capela/Nene/Harrell is good enough to go to war with, our problem is the short guard rotation is really taking its toll on Ariza, Bev, Harden and Gordon. Dekker is a nice complementary player but at this point of time he isn't good enough to be a focal point in the offense, we need another perimeter guy who can score double digits every night.

    Ryan becomes the first beard-less Rocket to be team-leading scorer b2b games this season.

    Well it's a good sign we blow people out when not playing well.

    Good system, players buy in, that helps a lot

    Ryan is becoming a critical player for us. Go Ryan! Go Houston Rockets!
