Anderson shouldn't have been in the game with 5 minutes to play but the team put up a great fight in the arena where it's most difficult to get a victory. Harden looked like he belonged out there with Wade and Lebron so that was nice to see.
Anderson is not good perimeter shooter. I think Marcus Morris is better than Anderson. Morris can shoot the 3 pts, draw the foul and defense as well.
At least the Warriors got their ass handed to them again ... that is good enough for me because fk Mark Jackson and Bogut!
I said but 4 words and that's complaining??? I was replying to another poster in my second response was Harden got us back in the game but...... It wasn't enough... On to the next game....
Against the Heat, we need to play more of an inside out game. Let Asik put pressure in the post and kick out to open shooters.
Like most people here, I am also happy with our performance in a b2b. Wish McHale didn't go small ball though. We closed the lead with our interior presence and rebounds throughout the game. I repeat what I said before. We have a great team, a team that could get some results this year. However, for us to be contenders, we have to get a new coach. Also, Patterson is slowly getting there. We might not need a trade for PF after all.

Great game and good effort by our young guys. They more then held their own against the defending champs. Even if some them struggled. It was also nice seeing James Harden go toe to toe against Miami's two super stars in Lebron James and Dwayne Wade. Showing everybody why he's one of the leagues brightest young stars, an emerging super star!
Maybe, but I bet Heat would have been in the penalty a lot earlier. Aldrich played well (besides the missed dunk) while he was out there. He even Had a block that I KNOW would have been a push in the back from Greg. While Aldrich was out there I think we took the lead because of his interior D.
Good job Miami! Your rested team barely beat the Rockets on the road on a back2back! Nice to see David Stern's schedule in babying star teams is working as planned. But anyway, anyone else upset we didn't go out there and start chucking 3s? I wanted to see if we were still hot from yesterday I'll give Miami credit for their suffocating defense. Morris is garbage and should never play unless everyone is hurt. Anderson's been looking good in the few minutes he's been given! Happy to see that.
get revenge on PORTLAND sac sucks then GSW cage match what if we can beat the CLIPPERS b4 all star break
Overall, great effort by the Rockets! Staying in the game with a very tough opponent, albeit some suffocating defense and a red hot shoot streak by LJames. Way to go， Rocekts!!!
Lin didn't look passive tonight, but just couldn't hit layup. One thing I give some credit Miami defense. Usually Lin has tons of open 3 looks which he pass up most the time, but tonight Miami played him tight. That good strategy by Miami coaches for this game.
