    So I saw this game on delay, and perhaps watching it knowing the Rockets would win has put me in a better mood than a lot of the other posters here. One thing I'm loving right now is the ball movement, there were a few plays where the ball was zipping around til it eventually found an open guy. In one case it was even James Harden! That's awesome.

    Capela and Faried are athletic monsters, and them both being healthy will allow the Rockets to shore up their rebounding. I love watching how fiercely they attack the boards, especially Faried.

    Ego has found his shot. Once Harden and CP3 return to just their average shooting ability, our three-headed offensive monster will be super frightening once again.

    And, of course, that's 9 in a row!! **** yeah! The Warriors are coming next, and it would be great getting number 10 on their heads.

    Rockets got the WIN, and happy for it.

    MVP-wise, Raptors went out like marks. They got blown-out by the Cavs to increase Bucks' wack Best Record claim.

    MVP-wise, Harden's efficiency is dropping too.

    Rockets' getting #2 or #1 definitely helps... and Cavs play Bucks twice more so still opportunity for a mends. I'd take 1-1 right now.

    Is this the first time we had our full rotation on the court not injured?

    30 point lead at the half was something else but I can’t get over the 3rd quarters woes.

    We need to find a solution to this heading into the playoffs but apart from that we are looking gooooooood.

    Nice comment. Easy win for the Rox. I'd like to them come out of half time a little focused, especially with a big lead like they had. We completely dominated the first half. The first few minutes of the 3rd quarter can completely demoralize the opposing team if we come out of the locker room focused. I want the Rockets to not give the other team a glimmer of hope of a come back. Can't wait until Wednesday.

    Agreed, we should be out for blood at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. It will psychologically send a message to the other team that they have no chance.

    ALL healthy ???

    So we're agreeing Harden's wrist is no issue.

    Maybe yes, maybe no, but his shooting has suffered late-season for a few seasons consecutively.

    He's also carried the largest burden of any player few seasons consecutively.

    The 1-seed is not exactly out of reach (-3.5 games).

    Faried adds an extra dimension to this team with his energy, rebounds and just overall activity around the basket. I will definitely sacrifice some 3-point shooting for all of the above, mainly because the team will have additional options to score should the 3-point ball not be falling on any particular night.
