I am really interested in why Brooks did not play more. I thought he was the first reason we turned our energy around. He also was playing really good... *clears throat* defense.
Beverly didn't play much in the 2nd half either. Francisco and Delfino were on fire. Don't blame them. But we NEED to see Brooks/Cisco get significant minutes now. Its not even a question.
We'll be looking back in 2 years saying "remember when that 'Francisco Garcia' guy went off in a playoff game against Durant??"
Loved Garcia. It was such a fun game to watch till the end. Should of had him try to tie it. Although I'm not mad with Delfino's shot. Just didn't go in. I really like what the team is showing and people have to get it into their heads that this isn't the Rockets year. But I like what the team is and have not been this optimistic for the Rockets future in a long time.
before we get too excited about Garcia, i think his performance tonight was definitely a fluke. The dude basically played the best game of his NBA career today
He played great. Not only did he hit some big 3s, but he tired out Durant in the 2nd half and even got under his skin. Unfortunately, Durant got the last word with his 4-bounce 3-pointer, but I liked how Garcia brought it tonight.
Delfino hasn't looked the same since that late season illness that caused him to miss a couple games. Glad that the Dominican Dominator is there tonight to fill in the designated shooter role. Not enough to overcome the early hole (and Lin's ineffective play resulting from injury), but good to see the team put up a good fight. It's important since the Rockets are auditioning for Dwight Howard. Every minute of every game is critical.
Because Beverley had 5 fouls. I just found it interesting. It worked because we came back and had a huge chance to win.
Definitely kudos to Garcia. The only one who came ready to give it his all. Still scratching my head on Harden's two turnovers. It was almost like he purposely gave the ball back to them each time
He played a lot of losing basketball during his time with the Kings. He realized how this meant to him at his age, probably won't get another shot like this.
I just wish we still had scola. Too many 3's. this game made me realize the rockets made a mistake. There were many instances when we needed a 2. Yet no one can make a 2 point basket
