    Great W in regards with keeping the 4th seed. It will get tougher as the season winds down. Need to keep on getting the Ws glad the team did not lose their 3rd straight game.

    Are you kidding?

    You are allowed to backpedal, Griffin was out of control and ran him over.

    It was correct. Griffin wildly bulldozed Ariza. You don't have to be stationary to get a charge.

    So assuming that he wanted to play here, How many of you would trade DMO for Dragic now? haha

    Seriously? That was a very good call. The defender is allowed to move as long as he is moving backward and Griffin clearly ran him over.

    Wow, Ariza moving his feet to defend Paul and then close out at the shot...GREAT defense ! Glad Smith wasn't defending there.

    You don't need to be set, you are allowed to be moving backwards towards the rim

    You don't have to be set. People aren't allowed to bulldoze through you. It was a great call and oh our team won because of the correct call.

    Not this season. For all the crap I've given McHale, that seems to be one of his specialties with this team. Not letting a bad loss or two turn into a lengthy losing streak.

    The Rockets have one more test though in April. Back-to-back-to-back road games at Dallas, OKC, and San Antonio!:eek:

    you only have to be set on a charge when you're trying to get the charge from the weakside aka a player you're not guarding

    Did the Rockets lose 3 in a row at all last year? They might have, but in general I feel like last season was similar in that the team didn't go on a lot of streaks.

    They definitely had one last year and possibly two 3-game losing streaks. One was the losses at OKC, Chicago, and Miami following that big OT win at home over Portland.

    I still have no confidence we can beat the Clippers in the playoffs, but it's still nice to beat them twice this season.

    I'm happy Ariza talked trash to CP3 after the game.

    This will be the start of a good chance for us to go on a streak. The three games next week should be wins and we should have Dwight at some point too I think.

    Lets go into the playoffs strong!
