    Chill out, kind of confusing to play defense when your big man is out. I think they were all just a little baffled out there.

    I think this pelican team can beat SA especially if they've gotta have that last game of the season

    On a related note this is why you don't get stretch 4s like Ryan Anderson...they get cheap wins in the regular season but fall apart in the playoffs because when the D intensifies they melt like butter under the hot sun.

    People look for reasons to put Harden on blast, which is strange to me.

    Good win. That 4th quarter is what I want to see from the Rockets all the time. Dwight's defense in the 4th was amazing! Brewer went back to what he does best mahem in transition. Prigioni is a point guard.

    Great 4th quarter. They have to play better defense if they wanna have a prayer of winning a playoff series, but it was enough to get it done against the Pelicans.

    Now the Rockets need to just take care of business. The Hornets are sitting all their good players. And they played today, so fatigue shouldn't be an issue(or at least it should cancel itself out) tomorrow. Then finish off Utah at home Wednesday.

    As long as the Rockets don't p-ss away either of these last two games, they should at least have home court in Round 1. I'd be stunned if Memphis won in Golden State tomorrow given how many of their guys are out.

    Terrence Jones D is becoming a huge problem again.

    Good win. Now harden needs to go off for 40+ tomorrow for the scoring title.

    I'm not kidding, I think we would strugle a lot more against New Orleans than Dallas in a playoff series.

    So it's baffling to the point where he lets his man get open looks to the bucket consecutively? Why do we make excuses for bad defense? It doesn't matter who's on the court you can't allow open look after another in a pretty close game in crunch time. **** like this will not fly in the playoffs.

    Yepp. Tied record wise with the Grizz and Clippers and half game behind the Spurs.

    I can't believe we pulled that game out of our asses considering NO was healthy and needed to win that game. This is a good sign.
