Rockets 1st Consecutive Wins w/less than 10 turnovers in Harden Era

The PJ Tucker 5 point stat stands out, ridiculous.

 

So if harden and capela and cp stay healthy together we are all time great? Tell that to those who said harden can’t play with another ball dominante guard

 

Yeah in a bad way because he make 12 mill a year but has scored less than 5 pts in half the games. Sheesh and I give Anderson a hard time. Pf is definitely our weakest position

 

Let us hope to continue to find out how this stat continues....

 

the X-Factor for sure

 

Rockets now move into a +8.2 for the season, which leads the league.

 

Awesome stat. Not too surprising it would come over last two games. Even without Gordon and Ariza Rockets have played their very best as a team over the last two games IMO, on both ends of the court, and against real competition in SAS and CLE.

Tonight was also the night that we pulled ahead of Golden State in point differential. Now we're first in the league in that stat that shows we're beating teams by more points than any other team in the league.

And with Golden State's loss tonight and our win, we're only 1 game behind them in the loss column and 2 games back overall for best record in the NBA.

I just read an article where Kerr was talking about how they're burned out and limping to the All-Star break. In that same article the writer wrote that there was no doubt GSW would finish in first, best record in the league, and be clear favorites to win it all.

While we were beating Cleveland (them without Love, us without Gordon and Ariza) a GS team missing only West lost to the Nuggets.

It's not at all certain GSW will finish in first. We are nipping at their heels and there's a lot of basketball left to play. We could have wind up with the #1 record and have home court against GSW. The trend lately is in our favor. They're running on fumes and we're playing our best ball of the season.

We could pass them before the break.

 

More fun stats as of tonight's games...

We're ahead of GSW in home record, in WC record, and (not that it matters) division record.

Morey did what he said he was going to do. He built a team to compete with GSW. The only team that can. Harden should be MVP of course but so should Morey be Exec of the Year. And MDA should repeat. And Capela has a real shot at MIP.

I haven't had this much fun watching the Rockets since the 90s.

 

Anderson actually had 6 dunks this season, which is not a small sample size. We really need to run more plays to get him dunks to guarantee our wins.

 

man his game really opens up for him when hes driving

 

It’s funny, they had 7 in the first quarter. Didn’t expect this stat.

 

we talkin bout practice?

 

man league has to do something about it, i think such a dominance has never been seen in history of the association

forget about the durant move
cp3 ruined the league moving to houston

 

Yep I've thought this to, but I will admit watching his stat line compared to watching him play always changes my mind. Dude does everything stats don't show, hustle, physicality and rebounds

He's also pretty clutch down the stretch with game altering hustle plays and he's a ball hound he's always around where the action is getting his hand on the ball

 

its all true man, but 12 mill??!

 

I mean one could argue it's a little overpaid but when you factor his defense, hustle and rebounding think Dennis rodmanish plus the ability to hit threes

 

i like him a lot...hes more than i expected and wouldn't mind if he was earning 15...
