    I can't tell if the Rockets are playing that well or the Celtics are just that bad.

    I'm guessing it's more of the latter than the former.

    Wtf is up with Rondo. His attitude was horrible in the first half. They even benched him right away. Do not want anymore.

    i can only imagine his frustration. 2-3 seasons ago he was 5 minutes away from potentially going to the nba finals. now he's left alone on a team thats getting blown out and looking like a high school JV team.

    I think Boston found the first five black players in basketball history who can't play well together or individually. lol

    I think that was the 4th or 5th attempt at a Howard Alley-oop for the game, and they all have been a bust.

    It's still encouraging though to some extent, because playing down to competition has been a big issue with the Rockets squads for years, predating anyone left on the current team. You always beat the teams a playoff team should always beat, you can go .500 against playoff teams and still earn a really, really high seed.

    Seriously... the 3rd quarter is always awful to the Rockets.

    Horrendous 3rd quarter offense.

    Yes CDrex...we certainly do appear to be semi-sloppily taking care of business early. Last season...it was a team trying to mesh and find itself while losing some ball games against inferior teams they should have won. If they now beat those teams early and play up to the higher levels of competitive teams, then we should improve on our record. It is encouraging that they do appear to have a good chemistry early for the most part and Howard/Harden look a bit more seasoned having played a season together now.

    Don't understand why we always have to let the opposition get on a nice run in the third quarter. For once, I'd like to see us come out strong at the start of the second half.
