    Obviously we look good. I just hope we take the defensive side as seriously as we did the first half. We're playing like champions, let's just hope it continues.

    I'm not. Rockets are the better team hands down. I hope they are the SMARTER team down the stretch as well.

    They should take this to 50. Not kidding

    Could not agree more. If there's one team that can come back from a 30 point deficit, it's SA... and GSW.

    Best Rockets defensive display I have seen in the past decade. When the defense works, offense comes easily as we can get the stops and just run

    If the Rockets lose this game, it will be the most embarrassing loss in Rocket's history. What they must do is stay focused, keep playing their game, and avoid turnovers like the plague.

    We need to stay juicy and win this game big to send a message.

    Just as a nice dominant win would be a huge boost of confidence...it would be a huge drain to have them come back and beat us. Just ask the Clippers about that.

    Keep up that pace. MDA needs to do whatever possible to keep up the pace. I'd play Troy and Trez if some of our usual guys start getting tired. How Nene ran the court for what would be an easy 2 I just think Trez could get a few points just running after a made shot like that.

    Harden doesn't have Roberson in his grill. No Adams and Taj to deal with either

    I don't give a **** that it's a 30 point lead! Do NOT let up an inch!!! Demoralize them! Make Kawhi realize he's surrounded by a bunch of broken down old guys and beta LMA!!!!

    Do not let them back in this game at all!!!!
