    Defense has really looked great past 6 or so games. Offense still pretty shaky at times, particularly when Frankenstein is out there for Capela, fun watching him hit a 3 but dude gets beat often on defense and can’t make a dunk. Need to upgrade his slot.

    It was a good win but I’m not ready to jump up and down over it. The Warriors are putting on one of their bs regular season faketard “we are not very good right now” shows to try to make the regular season look more interesting. I’m not falling for it. We will take the ‘W’, though.

    What can you do with Melo? He can't play defense at all.

    The numbers don't lie. The Rockets were getting killed out there with Melo on the floor. Ennis and Clark are better fits at the 3 and backup 4.


    Had the Rockets won by 10 or less, I'd agree. But we were up 32 at one point in the 4th quarter. And a lot of that 21-0 run was without Harden. Curry or no Curry, this was a really solid win on the heels of another great win in Denver(who BTW dropped 138 points on the Hawks last night after the Rockets held them to 99).

    Biggest difference was turnovers.

    Rockets 5
    Warriors 16

    Rockets win despite being out-rebounded -- first time this season.

    A lot of those turnovers were due to steals and deflections by the Rockets defense.

    Yeah. Credit the defense no doubt.

    The spirit of Bzdelik is among us.

    ??? Harden has been playing great defense, pretty much shut down all big men that he got switched on in the past few games.

    Can we talk about how garbage the warrior play by play guys are? Backhanded compliments left and right, saying they miss two way MVPs like MJ, bringing Lebron into it for no reason, reminding their fans they would be up by 20 if steph was playing
