    Ariza, a Rocket player in disguise, stepped up in last moment when needed. really a game winner for the Rockets and Harden can only come in second. lol Well we take the win anyway.

    I am disappointed about their turnovers (god, they ugly ones too). But, the fact that they were able to gut it out for the win showed pose and maturity to handle game winning decisions at the end. Also, that Harden is clutch.

    Best coaching decision all season by McHale. Sat the coach when he wasn't performing! :grin:

    Aside from slow response to opponent runs, I didn't see any bad decisions by coach tonight.

    Wow - I only caught the last minute and a half - freaking awesome!!! I have no idea what anybody scored and don't really care - I'm overjoyed that JH went with his strength on the last couple buckets - get in the lane and either get fouled or make a layup. Way more efficient than the iso long midrange shot he was taking. Hope this is a turning point - what a great win - I think we're seeing the makings of a real contender now. 7 IN A ROW BABY!!!!!! :grin::grin::grin::grin:

    This is the kind of game I've been waiting for by the way. We fouled out three of their key starters... lol.

    If you go to RealGm, they are all hating.

    It is funny how Harden was "So fun to watch!" when he was on OKC doing the same **** but when he plays for the Rockets he becomes despicable and unwatchable and a disgrace to the game.

    It was a game the Rockets had no business losing and then no business winning. A dumb foul by Parsons thankfully was cancelled out by the dumb foul by Ariza(and yes, that WAS a foul and completely unnecessary).

    It was reminding me of that Kings loss on New Years for a while. A lead blown in the 4th quarter, dumb turnovers, and horrible offensive sets late in the game. Luckily Harden was terrific in the final minute when it really counted. I'm glad he didn't settle for the jumpshot at the end there especially with Gortat and Nene both out of the game due to fouls.

    That full mid-level exception Morey gave Ariza really paid off.

    I see. So espn made a mistake. I thought it was some weird "miss 2nd FT tip-out into layup sort of thing." Par for the course for ESPN.
