    Chuck said that Lebron, Westbrook, and Harden are the only players that are unguardable in the NBA. The Rockets now have the best shooters in the NBA as well even tho we shot 28% from 3 in the 1st round. We're a bad matchup for the Spurs.

    Let's see which team shows up for the 3rd quarter first. Pop'll have the Spurs fired up after that 1st half. We need to weather their storm.

    A 30 point lead, and a bench clearing leading to 5 runs for the stros! Good night so far.

    I don't even know what to say. That was incredible.

    And yet I'm still on edge.

    Shots may not fall like they have. Defense is controlled by effort though. As long as they can maintain the defensive intensity, they should have this game.

    Well so far we have 2 game 1 blow-outs - you have to wonder if it takes some adjustment to the way the Rockets play.

    Game 2 is going to be very interesting.

    Gsw and cavs will pay the spurs dinner if they eliminate this version of the rockets out of playoffs. Defensive juggnaut with barrages of threes. 30 point lead on number one defensive team is scary.

    Rockets won the first round inspite of being doodoo from 3. That builds character and resiliency

    definitely the best defense i've seen this team play. getting after everything, active hands, gang rebounding. contesting shots. everything you want in defense and hustle.

    Rockets get to 100 by the end of the 3rd Q while Spurs stuck at 60. That would be sweet

    We have to keep pushing the ball and run, the drive and kick has worked beautifully so far in the first half. We need to wear these old farts out, can't let them back in by jacking up contested 3's

    Got to keep the foot on the gas, and no silly turnovers, use the full clock. Go inside and mid range.
