    "Enough is enough" with empty silent stadium.

    Top 10 US Metro should rep better.. especially while having a good product.

    Don't care what anyone thinks. This team 100% plays better on the road in my opinion. It's been like that for a couple of seasons too.

    Gary Clark is insanely intelligent.

    Smartest rookie I have seen since Chuck Hayes.

    Can Exhibit 10 guys qualify for the playoffs as long as they are not 2 way players?

    They were a very good road team last year and did have sluggish starts at home I'm certain at least in part due to half of Toyota Center being empty. But this season's road vs home performance is also due to the injuries and quality of opponents. Last night was really the first genuinely good team they've beaten on the road. The Lakers and Nets are mediocre and the Bulls are one of the worst teams in the NBA.

    Great win, nice to finally see them dig in on defense and show that they're capable.

    Offense is very concerning though, especially CP3. He's had like 1.5 good games this year. He needs to shape up.

    Last year the players talked about how having the long road trip to begin the season really helped build chemistry.

    Less distractions and less family issues on the road.

    Since you seem new to sports, let me explain why this was a 'big win'. BIG wins aren't about the overall point total.
    Rox came into the game 3-5 and trying to regain their identity as a team having started the season poorly.
    Pacers were 7-3, one of the hottest teams in the East. We are in THEIR arena, on the road.
    The struggling Rockets come in to face the soaring Pacers.
    Result? Rockets go toe-to-toe all game and do some rope-a-dope at the end and take them down.
    Several role players stepped up in the process to make major contributions down the stretch.
    Pacers average PPG for the year was 108?. We held them to only 92. (IN THEIR OWN ARENA)
    We also prove to ourselves that we CAN compete and even win ugly games.
    It's not about the score, there are no awards at the end of the season for high score.
    It's about the W. We snatched one from a team that everyone thought was going to steamroll us.
    This has been our biggest challenge of the season (so far)
    Passing a BIG test = BIG WIN

    Guys, updates on Nene?

    Not really looking forward to him switching, but I think he held people accountable on defense and want to see him paired up with Melo.

    What is interesting is they ran the same play. Both PJ Tucker and Harden were open in the first one. And then they closed down PJ in the 2nd one but Harden and Capela were both open.
