    Ball movement, defensive intensity and tempo are all 100% different.

    Of course they are also making shots at a high clip which invigorates them

    Love the offense this game. Seems like rockets are running sets we haven’t seen yet
    @heypartner can you confirm?

    I haven’t seen you post before.

    But you nailed it.

    Great observation.

    Welcome to the playoffs Eric Gordon! But, let's keep things in perspective. If there is any team in the world that can blow a thirty point lead it is the Houston Rockets. They must come out with fire and intensity and keep it going. Do not let up. Do not start coasting. Do not take your foot off the gas. Hammer, hammer, hammer.

    This is why coaching is so important. It's all about countering the counter, coming up with strategic adjustments every single game. Credit to MDA and his crew.

    Rockets came out focused. I knew the moment Ariza hit that first 3 that we on the way.

    Then I saw Harden make some back door cuts and I know they are hungry

    They have to win this game and they're playing like they know it. I knew they'd come to play tonight because the good juju was flowing. Now we need to come out in the 3rd and finish it.

    Question: Is a married Jazz fan expected to buy tickets for ALL of his wives?

    Gordon is playing like the guy we said was comparable to Klay last year. If THAT Gordon shows up we can simply drown guys. He’s a good defender and if he’s raining 3s it keeps us out of transition d and piles up the points

    40 is the new “20 point lead” now. That’s the standard Rockets should be driving towards going into the 4th.
