    Really impressed with the fighting spirit of this team right now. We never looked like winning this game except the guys kept fighting and kept fighting until the very end.

    your custom suit estimate is off a little. I spent a shade over 5k for a brioni customer fabric suit at neimans last year.

    Rockets only had 13 turnovers. We've been known to double that without OT.

    Defensive rebounds were an issue giving up 23 o-rebs.

    We found a way to win. Clutch shots and defense.

    just gotta say I think you hit the nail on the head here. Howard has done a great job at this.

    Amazing win! Harden's play down the stretch was truly magical. How he made that 3 pointer in the corner after the broken inbounds play is beyond me.

    To overcome such a significant deficit heading into the 4th quarter against a team in the same boat as us has to be morale-boosting. This win only further enforces the notion that: YES, WE CAN WIN THIS YEAR!

    We still have a lot of work to do, though. But this team is capable of great things. Keep up the good work! :)

    What was most amazing wasn't that we came back -- because we are used to seeing the Rockets go on amazing scoring runs.

    It was the fact that they somehow managed to make that happen on a night when NOTHING was going their way. The refs, 3 Pt shots, 2 Pt shots, rebounding, assists. We were abysmal across the board.

    Yet, they (mainly Harden) willed themselves to pull it together for that final run. Really amazing to see. The heart of a champion.


    "Houston trailed by 11 points with about eight minutes left in the fourth before going on a 12-3 run, powered by nine points from Harden, to get within 97-95 with about 3½ minutes left. The only thing that slowed Harden during that span was an offensive foul that erased one his buckets.

    Lin got Houston within 1 on a layup with two minutes left in the fourth before a free throw by Robin Lopez. Lin gave Houston its first lead of the game -- 102-101 -- with a 3-pointer with 1:25 remaining.

    Lillard's basket put Portland on top after that and Harden's turnover led to a pair of free throws by Matthews on the other end. Lin made one of two free throws to make it 105-103 before another free throw by Matthews."

    Then the amazing Harden 3 point shot to tie the game. And the great Lin tip on the pass to Lillard in the post to keep the game tied in the last seconds of regulation.

    I love how hard Beverly plays this team would be so much worse without him, he energizes the entire team.

    He is Ryan Bowen with an actual game......
