    Very enjoyable first half. Rockets have been playing the pace they want to play, beating one of the better teams in the league.

    We are playing great overall, except for our screen D and containing Conley, and occasional flops on D leaving Gasol open in the lane.

    Conley is good yall. Both Lin AND TD are having trouble consistently staying in front or contesting his shot once he gets into the paint

    Rockets should consider starting Delfino instead of Parsons in second half to maintain their current momentum. Delfino looks really good about once every 5 games, and this game is it.

    scoring in double figures for 3 games in a row....good streak for Lin...hopefully this is the trend b/c we'll be harder to beat if he continues being aggressive

    Harden and Lin playing really well so far for the 3rd straight game. But Delfino played incredible in the half. Gotta keep the energy and pace up in the 2nd half

    This.

    We can't win in the interior on pure driving or defense. We can however run their legs off. And despite Conley being only 25, they play a very slow pace, so I doubt his body is used to running the sort of pace we're pushing, especially for 48 minutes.

    Keep running fast, don't let their defense set, make them run as much as possible with fast passes, transition buckets and perimeter shooting, and they should run out of gas enough that they won't be able to make a comeback if we push the lead enough.

    We can't win on skill and experience, but we can beat them with youth and offensive talent. :grin:

    seems to shut both the LOHs and LOFs up, doesn't it.
