    Yes, they need to be called out. The Rockets have more guts to stick with their game than those "fans".

    man i havent looked forward to every rockets game like this in a long time. adding cp3 to this squad, adding some defensive toughness, harden playing even better than he ever has, I keep thinking of Gordon can keep up some level of consistency at a high level that the only thing keeping us back is getting stops even more. I'm somehow super happy for Ariza who has had to do so much of the utility work all these years. Now he can do so but know he's not the only one doing it every game.

    Would've worked better in a meme.

    I look forward to AlaisterCuaresma 's pick. I won't alert him so he can decide on his own if he wants to go against CP3. :)

    Perfect harmony. This.

    For the record, I only go to 4-5 games each season and only when the visiting team is non-marquee. Keeps the cost down. Never been to a sellout and probably never will unless something weird happens.

    That all said, tonight's crowd was the most intense I've experienced at TC.

    Harden is the man but CP3 was amazing too. When he hit the circus shot to make it 101-90, there was a nuclear explosion inside TC. I think that was the turning point.

    For those keeping score

    That's two games in a row Lawler's Law didn't work with the Rockets.

    doesn't have to do all the play making and got to remember, it was his first year as point guard last season and most of his turnovers were off him losing the handle like tonight and not actually off pass attempts

    Prove them wrong and silence them. Work on our weak points in practice.
    Internal growth is the only way, that we will get better.

    Pretty amazing after all that, Paul and Harden weren't even the top 2 scorers in the game. Capela and Gordon were.

    When is the last time Rockets have had 4 20pt scorers in one game (not counting OT games).

    Pelicans really wanted that one. They would be a genuinely good team if they weren't so banged up all the time. Now that the Rockets are officially a thing, every team is going to bring their best to knock them over. Like those extras on Enter the Dragon who supposedly picked fights with Bruce Lee to see if he was for real or not.

    Here comes the importance of the 1 seed.
    Would u rather play Minny/Denver/Portland in round 2 or would you rather play Spurs in round 2
    You want warriors to play Pelicans/Spurs then Us in playoffs
    I want to play Jazz/ or more likely Thunder then Minny/Denver then Warriors. although, I think Thunder are better built for postseason than regular season. Much like last years Bulls or the KG/Pierce nets teams.

    Getting the 1 vs the 2
    is like either playing 2 First Round Series or 2 Conference Finals series

    It must suck when your team breaks their franchise record for most threes in a game and still lose.
