    Would you say they played better tonight because they weren’t as rusty from the extended rest?

    Its unfair how good Durant is but we did a much better job shutting down the rest of them.

    Some truly inspired basketball tonight. It's a crazy high performance level to expect, but that's what we need.

    That fist would explode into a bloody pulp. Zaza requires more than just bare hands to deal with.

    This is going to be the biggest 180 from the media in the history of playoff basketball.

    CP3 played like his life depended on it. Unfortunately he played so hard he tweaked something. Hoping he heals up by game 3. We need the same intensity for us to steal one in Oracle. Hated him when he was on the Clippers. Love me some CP3 in Houston.

    This series is back on. Rocket's beat their butts tonight. Anything is possible now. Tonight's team can win it all.

    We can definitely steal one game in Oakland. Best road team this year where the Rockets seems better focused than at home, likely due to fewer distractions.

    It appears from the box score that KD was on fire again like in game 1. But I’m fine with that as long as the Rockets play discipline D on the others

    I wasn't too down after last game, I knew they'd come out and have a good game. Let's see if we can continue this in GS.

    I think that sometimes players (Harden) try to do too much - and he still learning that leadership thing where less is more - we need him to be spectacular, but he can save some energy by using more of his teamates earlier in the shot clock. This was EARLY season Rockets style.....wonderful to see.

    The key to this series on defense is to stop Klay from scoring or make it tough for him. Curry is not the same player right now and their defense has forced him to throw up shots off balance. Keeping Klay from getting in rhythm will be the difference though. There is nothing you can do against KD accept hope he misses- just can't let him slam it on you.

    Great all around game by the Rockets and something to build on for game #3 and #4

    Best thing about today... The Rockets won EVERY quarter.
