    Nba tv covered the last couple minutes of the game. Both Rick Fox and David Aldridge had to struggle with having to say anything positive about the Rockets. David Aldridge right away had to chime at the end with the Warriors keep winning. Seems like every sports media outlets have a problem with the Rockets.

    Roll eyes all you want but you saw what I saw.. Just because someone comments on what they see doesn't mean they aren't happy about the win. The whole "just because the Rockets win absolves them of all criticism" is so damn tired.

    Harden didn't need to come back in. I can't say that because we won? Mchale just said he used Harden as a decoy meaning he knew Harden wasn't going to be effective.

    Why not? Everyone should give McHale a lot of credit. We were down 3 starters and a few rotational players. And yet we are finding ways to win in the wild wild west.

    Give the man some props! :cool:

    Rockets are an openly "China Market" team and it shows in the court side advertising. So it really does piss off media I guess. Not trying to be political but that's the truth.

    I love Harden's Heart for the game, but gotta rest with those back spasms.

    Embrace the hate.

    It's what drove us to back-to-back chips.

    Imagine the result if Howard had been out there protecting the rim and swallowing all those short rebounds!

    Poor Phx, not a playoff team again. 9th seed material. OKC will pass them.

    Dwight needs to get off his fu***ng ass and play. All these dudes especially Harden are busting their asses off and he's missed 3 weeks with a weak ass "knee strain". I like Dwight but this s**t is pissing me off.

    .800!

    I would be proud if we went 16-4 completely healthy. The fact that we've been doing it relying on our 2nd and 3rd stringers so heavily is tremendous.

    Why would you want Dwight to play on an Injured knee? How would that help the Rockets?

    Need a healthy full roster but that does not look likely till late December. I just hope it will be too late with players currently playing too many minutes. DH needs to get back soon.

    Dwight better be seriously injured to be missing this much time. If he's 80% right now and they decided to hold him out this long just to get him to 90 or 100, I'll be p-ssed cuz we're now seeing the toll it's taken on the rest of the team.

    Honestly if Dwight comes back and tries to post up like Dmo, this team will starting losing fast. I hope Dwight knows that Dmo is more like Hakeem in that instance than he will ever be.... Dwight PNR okay!!!!!!

    Now Dwight, WHO IS NOTORIOUS FOR PLAYING INJURED, is the reason everyone is getting hurt? you guys are knuckle heads.. Dwight wants to play if he needs to get right let him get right.

    The less coverage they do on the rockets, the less likely it is they have to give the MVP award to Harden. They've probably already decided that the front-runner is Steph Curry or LMA/Lillard. *Dusts off conspiracy theory hat*

    Or the more likely explanation is that the Rockets have defied all expectations, especially those of the media made pre-season, and the media doesn't like explaining why they were wrong.

    It's just frustrating to see all the guys busting their asses and he's sitting. I know Dwight wants to play and it's best to rest him but this team is too banged up for him to miss this much time. I've seen other guys play with worse injuries.
