    Can someone explain to me how we keep winning but we never blow out teams?

    Like I don't even know who is at the end of the bench because I've never seen them before.

    He’s pissed because even though the Rockets are squeaking out wins, they are not playing that great. They need to tighten up a lot of things because the playoffs are right around the corner and the intensity will ratch up a whole lot more.

    Oh yeah Clint was monstrous tonight with a million alterd shots and 3 or 4 blocks. Hardens post defense on Davis was amazing as well

    Why were Jrue Holliday and Alvin Gentry tripping so hard on that obvious 3-pt foul? Alvin Gentry did a body motion like Jrue had his hands to his side the whole time. No wonder these officials got pissed at him so quick. I mean it happened right in front of the damn ref.

    Funny how things change perception. The starters dominated. The bench dragged the whole team down, to the point where the starters mistakes are magnified because the margin for error is much slimmer.

    Starters were fine. Joe Johnson and Anderson were terrible defensively. Everything they were involved with blew up in he Rockets face.

    I really hope Nene plays well in the postseason, they will need him to.

    It's crazy the way these guys act when they are grabing James Harden.. I think they are pissed because they think they are getting tricked by Harden.. They are getting tricked by Harden by the way. Getting fouled shouldn't be a skill and Harden has made it a skill. Dude is good at basketball.

    When you have the best record in the NBA, every team gives you their very best shot. It's hard to blow teams out when you have at least a 3 game lead in the lost on everyone else.

    Oh boy, Alvin Gentry went off postgame. :D

    I thought we played hard. I thought we competed. I thought we did everything we had to try & win the game. The thing that bothers me more than anything - and I don't really care - we try to play the right way & we play our ass off and what happened to us, AD never gets a call. AD never gets a call. We talk about them holding him, we talk about them grabbing him on rolls, we talk about them cutting him on post ups, he never gets the call. Not one. You know why? He doesn't b**** & complain about it. He just keeps playing the game. So it comes down to a few plays in the game. You can't guess on plays when you got teams playing for playoff spots. You can't guess on the game. You can't guess on a foul - when a guy has his hands on his chest & got his hand in & you call a 3 point shot, that's not right. That's not correct. That's not the way you do it. Then you give them the ball back when they undercut a player. That's not right either. That's not correct. That's not the way you call the game. It's not. When you get a technical for walking away from a guy, this league has really changed. I walked away from him so I wouldn't get a technical. That being said, I thought we did everything we could to win the game. That's a great team down there.​

    Gentry, your player fibbed to you...he reached out toward Harden and Harden caught Holiday's hand or his arm...Holiday did not keep his hand on his chest 100% during that play. Look at the tape...the truth is on the tape. You have a legit complaint on the technical...as well as PJ has a complaint on his tech.
