    Harden becomes the 4th player in league history with b2b 40-point tri-dubs.... Westbrook, Jordan, Maravich.


    Rockets haven't been held under 100 since Nov 21st (vs DET) and only twice this season... and they won both times.

    As I said, this historic, magical or whatever season name you want to call it is surreal.

    you may wonder what it is in the picture. let me tell you, it is Kyushin Pills. It keeps you live when you have a heart attack for games like tonight. and you need a lot of backups for this, because we fans will suffer this quite often. [​IMG]

    That makes their winning % .789 & our's .775. We are tied for 2nd place in the West. Tomorrow night at this time, we'll be in 2nd by ourselves!:D

    Lol some of you guys are insane. Beasley wouldn't crack the rotation here. Beating the Spurs tonight is far more than anything he would have provided the Rockets as an actual member of the team.

    If the Jazz win, we will have a better record than the entire Eastern Conference

    Hence the reason why Harden should get the MVP.

    The Rockets are on the Spurs bleep, for that #1 spit in our Division. Wow what a season we are having.

    Even without their starting center and now their second scorer, the Rockets still get the job done. This team is damn tough.

    The only concern is the shortened bench and especially the increased minutes of Harden, Ariza and Anderson. Hopefully, D'Antoni can figure out how to play Dekker, Brewer, and Ennis more and keep the starters' PT in the 32 to 35 minute range. With the way this team plays, extended minutes will start taking a physical toll.

    Harden averaging a triple double in the last 7 games and has had 5 triple doubles in that stretch.Just insanity. In one of those games he missed out in triple double by only 2 boards.

    Nope. I hate to burst the old bubble, but a win tomorrow puts us at .780. We probably still need them to lose a pair.

    Don't worry about the triple double hunting. Harden was actually just trying to show us what it would be like if we had Russell Westbrook as our point guard instead of him. Consider me scared straight.

    Good call

    It's surprising we're 2-1 under those circumstances.

    We have 1 more loss and they have the tiebreaker so they effectively still have a 2 game lead.
