    They only hit 1 of 12 on drives to the basket... Setting new levels of futility.

    When Ariza is shooting well, we're almost impossible to beat. Tonight we had Ariza and Anderson both hitting their shots.

    Green sucks. No need to defense him. Play faster with the old men teams.

    No one said he was "locking him down", it was clearly said that he was playing him smart defensively and is taller than T-Jones.

    From the front page of ESPN I'm not sure if we demolished the spurs or not. Can someone help?

    Unfortunately you won't get that unless he was wire tapped.

    Wow!!!! Now that was a fun game to watch!!!!! For the first time in a long long time I wasn't perched on the edge of my seat in nail biting moments up until the last second of the game. How sweet it was to play so well finally!!!! Now that's the way I knew we were capable of playing. Everybody sharing the action, nobody ball hogging, guys not hesitating to take the 3, a great defensive game, and a team to be proud of. Loving it!!! Go Rockets!!!!!

    Was really impressed that Harden took care of the ball last night (only 3 TO).

    As others have mentioned when both Ariza and Ryno show up we are extremely tough to beat!!!

    It's only one game in a seven game series, but this game certainly builds confidence moving forward.

    I'm just watching the game now because i was at work when it was on and Greg Poppovich's head turning into a tomato is the best thing I've seen all season

    With Harden being able to get in the paint at will it breaks down everything the Spurs want to do defensively.

    I was pretty worried even in the 3rd quarter. Had the Spurs made some shots and got the deficit down to 20, then amped up the defense in the 4th, this could have been a nail biter. I'm glad the Rockets never took the foot off the gas though.

    If the Rockets win this series(especially if it's in a dominating fashion), everyone in the media will have to reevaluate that first round series vs OKC. The Thunder were clearly offensively challenged, particularly when Westbrook sat. But I think people underrated them defensively. They had a lot of young, athletic guys like Roberson, Adams, Gibson, Oladipo, and of course, Westbrook who could make it tough for the Rockets to execute offensively. The Spurs have Kawhi and maybe Green, but that's about it. Defensively, Lee, Aldridge, Parker, Manu, Mills, and Gasol ain't gonna scare anyone.
