    Montrezl looked like he wanted to win the game for about 5 minutes in the 4th. He was pretty awful for a majority of the game.

    Yep.. They look like stir fried cat crap. They really miss Durrant. I think they boned the camal when they broke up a 73-9 team. Ok. They lost in 7 in the finals. Err. It is not like they were that far off.

    They pretty much gave up their whole depth to get him. Barbosa, Bogut, Barnes, Festus and co. They got no bench outside of Iggy.

    Oh really? It seems like a vast majority of p*rn actresses are white, an Asian American p*rn actresses are quite rare.

    I think we're at the point where we shouldn't even worry about the Harden MVP case. The media (once again) is not his biggest fan and guess what? They're the ones that vote. They're the ones who decided he wasn't even worth being on an All-NBA team last year. You think that same media will suddenly give him MVP the following year? That would require a bit of an acknowledgement that they f-ed up their voting last year. That ain't happening.

    Speaking of which, don't be surprised if he's left off 1st-team All-NBA's this year by many voters too.

    I found it interesting that the entire Rockets' starting lineup had a positive +/-. It's really rare for a team to lose in that scenario. How did that happen then?

    Harrell: -10
    Dekker: -22
    Williams: -16

    Gordon is usually a bench player but he started with Anderson being out.

    Ryan's a legitimately big loss now when he doesn't play. Moreyball's latest innovation if you will is stretching the shooters further out from the 3pt line. This opens the lane for Harden even more and prevents defenders from rotating over faster. Anderson is the face of this new "update".

    No one grab rebounds today. Missing ryno is not ok. Vs defensive team, i suggest capela and nene rather than harrel

    Roster spot never grabbed a rebound. Roster spot never boxed out.

    Defense and attitude were the biggest problem yesterday, like they've been in other games.

    Allowing the Jazz to score 60 points (or more, can't even remember now) when they're missing half of their starting five in a tie breaker game at home is just bad.

    We could not get rebounds. Sitting courtside, what really struck me, even during warmups, was how the Jazz roster must average 6" greater height and wingspan than ours-- and we all know how important 6" can be.

    Three ahead in losss column. Is that enough I have not seen the jazz holes remaining schedule. We have Cleveland and 2 gsw left. Can we take one of those or is that the three games right there?

    Well, the Jazz are going to lose more games too. it's not like they'll win out. They're just an overall bad match up for the Rockets

    They have long perimeter defenders who can switch and who can shut you down from 3 point line and when you drive, you have Gobert waiting at the rim.

    Plus that Hood dude seems to go off whenever he plays the Rockets

    They should not hit 3 points next time vs Jazz. Shoot more 2 points. Jazz already know how to defense houston 3 point strategy

    this!
    Rockets are taking it easy, as they should, we are a team with multiple players susceptible to injuries, seeding doesnt matter , what matters the most is health coming playoff...
    ps Actually 4th seed may be even better than the 3rd
