    if the Rockets hit 36 or 37% of their threes against the Bucks, they are capable of beating them comfortably

    Harden doesn’t have to go for 40+...just hit these plethora of wide open threes the Bucks give up at an above average rate and keep the rebounding deficit closer to -15 than -30

    This team has to play so hard to win every game.

    Having some of the regular season wiped out very well may have been better for us.

    Harden didn't have a great game on the offense tonight, but his defense more than made up for it.

    I don't want to hear people say Harden can't defend anymore. He literally stops every player in the league in the post.

    This win will do wonders for our team's mentality. Hopefully we can build from this.

    Yes indeed. We just need better attention to rebounds. Most of those rebounds are winnable. Just need to be in the right position and follow the ball.

    Rockets best player played terrible. MIL entire defensive plan was to give Tucker the corner three and he couldn’t buy a bucket. They guarded Giannis poorly by giving him too many drives.

    and still beat the best team in the nba. Wow!

    Dang. This team is ENJOYABLE.

    They’re still not even close to maximizing their potential.

    but the grit to win these last two like they did. That’s building something.

    not to **** on EG. But imagine if they had been able to use EG as a trade asset. Or heck if he was 100% healthy and playing like he did in the playoffs last year.

    That’s bullsh*** made amazing plays down the stretch of both games and tonight the defense was stellar. Well deserved wins.
