    We still have big holes to cover, despite the win.

    Rockets are a 2nd tier team.

    We have to play tight coverage the whole game. We win easily when we play like that. Our best offense is defense because we can score. Defense wins championships.

    How many real contenders do we play over the next 20 games?

    Anyone else hear in their head the narrator and music from "Law And Order" when they read the above post? Only thing missing was, "these are their stories."

    No? Just me? All right, carry on.

    Not a turning point. Playing hard for 48 minutes consistently will mark a turning point in this team's attitude and outcome.

    Really depends on what you call 'contenders', but they play 6 of those games against teams with an outside shot at the title: Clippers, Lakers, 76ers, 3 games with the Nuggets. Bunch of feisty teams like the Nets, Suns, and Kings too.

    Yeah, but Popovich doesnt have any more timeouts. D'Antoni does.

    No.

    A very nice comeback against a not so great team.

    I’m hopeful that this team can do something in the postseason because I love the Rockets.

    I just don’t see how the team can make a deal that puts them over the top. I feel like TF really hurt the team’s chances of being able to even make a deal. Sucks because it really is wide open this year.

    I dunno why the Rox even need a turning point? They've been playing great all year, we have a lot of rookies and new players including House who stepped into a new role. EG was really the only one who needs a turning point, and he is injured rn
