    The Rockets have never lost a game that I've attended in Salt Lake City, the first game being in 2010.

    (Now accepting donations to attend game 4).

    The thing that I like about this game is that we played great from the very beginning.

    Win on Sunday will undo gm 2 loss.

    I feel like we put them on notice and though I don't expect them to lay down -- I do expect a win Sunday and a series wrap on Tue in H-tine.

    THAT's why we miss Luc when he's out.
    He's a great shutdown defender and can be pretty consistent from 3

    Tonight's first half was probably one of the best ones I have seen the Rockets play from beginning to end. The team pulled back a bit in the second half, but to see putting up a 30 point lead in SLC just made me smile.

    They need to continue to take that passion and get this series done as quickly as possible. Houston could get lucky and the Pelicans/GS series can go longer than expected..

    Now that's how you suppose to respond after a disappoint loss at home. Do we see the difference between, when we come out focus and with intensity verses that lackadaisical not very interested approach. The sky is the limit for us when we play with a strong purpose.

    Great bounce back game Red Nation.

    Love it

    Definitely, good, lock down defense is contagious and leads to offensive opportunities. I am pretty sure MDA will keep on reminding our players that they can be a really good defensive team, regardless of whether shots are going in or not.

    I'm glade we were able to fight through that type of adversity. When we make it to the next round against the Warriors, it's going to be 100x worse. Best believe that.

    Bet you if this came in a loss, the narrative would be that Harden and CP hate each other

    I love it to, they dropped one but they are playing better overall than last series against a tougher team. I think this teams biggest problem is that they have over confidence issues and they are expecting teams just to roll over. Not today though. If we can play like this on Sunday it will say a lot about our championship hopes.
