Ok game, we were half azzing it until it was win time. I enjoy Harrells time on the 3 floor. He forces the issue if u will, makes plays happen. While Clint is more like, if it happens it happens. I'd really like Tucker and Chandler on the team. Defense would be that much more solid, Tuckers 3's and getting under peeps skin is a bonus. Chandler didn't seem engaged in the game tho.... he couldn't care less it looked
It seems that after a bad game with SA we're back in business as usual (even though the Suns seriously suck). If Bev keeps this up he should be at considered for DPOY or at least for the All-NBA defensive teams; his offense is on point too, he's killing it.
I would not call the Spurs game bad. We led by 13 with 3 minutes to go against the best road team in the nba.Bad finish, but we saw a lot of good stuff overall.
I'm not calling it bad in terms of pure performance, just unlucky, 3s not falling, bad timing TOs and Spurs capitalizing on each and every one of them...that kind of bad.
Our last two home games leading to a 1000+ mile game the next night is unusual. We were home, then MIN, then back home for A game, then playing the next night. The Spurs game is essentially part of this tough current road trip filled with b2bs.
They were very complimentary of the Rockets and hard on the Suns. Rockets offense can't be stopped at this point. Loss of Capela hurts but got enough from Nene and Harrell

Gasol just went off for 38pts last night against Drummond and the Pistons. Let's hope he doesn't make lunch meat out of Nene and Harrell. This will be no picnic. Remember Brook Lopez owning the paint? 75 second half points for the Nets
Have you watched the pistons lately or heard what's been going on? There's like a team wide turmoil between the Reggie Jackson and his teammates and then also coach vs all his players. They just got beat by 45 to the bulls. The 500. Bulls. I'm not going to sugar coat other teams compared to this rockets team. This is not the Rockets of the las few years. We should absolutely smash the grizz. There not on our level. They played nice while Conley was out grinding out a ton of close wins they could have lost but there not a good team they've lost 3 of there last 4 games. There a backend playoff team. The rockets are a top tier team trying to finish with a top 3 record
I knew he'd be fantastic, just wait until he and harden find some chemistry and PT together, in some ways he can be better than Capela And that's why i dont love star chasing Look back at those 3 years lost pandering to Dwight Imagine what could have been if we worked on improving the system and developing Capela Trezl Dekker DMo and others who showed promising potential but were not given enough PT or the right role or plays and got traded or released.
I'm not saying we SHOULDN'T beat the Grizz, just that we've had our issues with big men dominating in the paint (see Nets game). And the Grizz are better than the Nets. Without Capela we're likely going to have our hands full with Gasol. Hopefully our firepower can tip the scales
