    Great first half with a 16 point lead over Milwaukee. Despite a few crazy fouls and missed free throws the half went well and as I expect for this team.

    Any questions that this team is capable of being the best in the league?

    Yeah as long as we can sustain 50% three point shooting and go to the line 3x as much as the other team we should be able to go 82-0.

    Forget Charles Barkley, that guy is such an irritant. The whole nation hates on Houston, it’s the cheek thing to do. Leslie Alexander could have handed him twice the money, and it would be the same! ESPN announcers throw shade on the Rockets too. It’s the agenda, probably because it irritates Houstonians so bad, it generates a lot of revenue for the National media.

    Ignore the fools, and trust your own eyes. Heck even if you wear rose colored glasses when you follow your favorite team.

    The Rockets are going to blow big leads and make up big deficits early this season. The team is extremely volatile.

    Don’t get too high or too low.

    I agree, but Harden and Westbrook went 4-20 and still were up by 10 pts in the 3rd. The knock on Westie with OKC was he'd run his butt off and be too tired to make a good shot but still try. Now the Rockets can blitzkrieg their way through the entire game. Too bad Capela still sucks on overall defense and shooting FTs.

    We also just took one of their best shots so far in the game and still have a 9 pt lead going into the 4th. In years past we would have lost the lead completely.

    BTW, win or lose this game the pieces are there.

    If Harden and Westbrooks combined numbers equal a triple double the team will play well

    In theory the Rockets up tempoing to a big lead than iso grinding out the win should work.


    But man that sucked tonight. Though the Bucks are as good at the Iso-grind as the Rockets, so it's hard to do to them.

    up- tempoing also allowed the bucks chances after chances to get back in the game. would like that shift to a more half court offense especially with the lead more
