    Ryno should start from the bench in home games, he just hates Toyota.

    Damn good win against the Grizzlies and their paid off refs. Harden and Gordon were big time tonight. Capela had a career scoring night and props to the big fella knocking down his freethrows.

    Yeah babbyyy let's show the world what we're made of. The next 4 games will be tough.

    You know the Rockets won big, right? You won't always have the whole team firing on all cylinders every night. Take a step back and enjoy the win.

    Yep, just before the half they said something along the lines of "Rockets complaining to officials. Shocking." Meanwhile, their team was getting away with maulings.

    I'm glad they showed sympathy for Ryno, but yeah F them.

    I'm interested in hearing what @PeterKingX thinks about Harden's game tonight.

    Look up the definition of perfect and you will see a picture of James Harden in the 3rd quarter. Superstars win games and he won the game for us with total dominance in just 12 minutes.

    Btw, great team d. They can do as needed.

    Wow, what a difference a year makes! Love Clint's progression, and his improvement on free throws. The hacking problem won't be as bad as last year with Clint and Dwight both getting hacked. Clint is better, Dwight is gone, and Nene can hit them too. Tonight's game is a preview of what we will face with the refs in the playoffs, because all the calls Harden normally gets just seem to disappear in the playoffs. With this roster we don't have to rely on him taking all the shots anyway. James is doing a great job getting the alley oops to Clint, which I have wanted to see more of all year. Isn't it great having so many great 3 pt shooters that 2 or 3 can have off nights and it just doesn't matter? Beverley is the one who scares me most, because I have to keep my fingers crossed he stays healthy through the playoffs. He will be a HUGE plus for us in the playoffs if he can stay injury free this year.

    Let's go for 3 in a row now and narrow that lead San Antonio has over us by showing them what we can do next game.

    33% from 3 Loss to Heat
    39% from 3 Win against NOP
    38% from 3 Win against TWolves
    22% from 3 Loss to Pacers
    39% from 3 Win against Clippers
    43% from 3 Win against Grizzlies

    Huh when the Rockets shoot well from 3 they win and if they don't it's probably a loss. Someone let Morey know!

    It's not just because he's been bad for a year plus; he looks like his knees are all but shot.

    Some fans get so caught in another man's money like it's theirs. Lol so freaking comical. We win in a blowout fashion against a quality playoffs teams that will be a match up nightmare. And we are worried about another man's picket book.

    Capela has had two really good games against the two allstar centers in the west in b2b games.

    He seems to be finding his groove again.

    This is huge for the rockets.

    Yeah, and when IND loses to ATL on the road and falls to .500, 'holic's tracking of our W% against teams *over* .500 will put us 4th, as well.
