    The second unit is sucking as a whole. Lee's been so-so. Williams is still not really serviceable. No inside scorer without PatPat.

    And why does that for some reason have nothing to do with how the Rockets played tonight? Everyone can say "oh it was a back to back", but let's see how forgiving and understanding these same people are if the Rockets were to lose a back to back game by 20. They'd probably be calling for heads and trades and tanking and firings and going on and on about how much the team sucks; but for some reason we use the "back to back" as an excuse for the other team in order to take away the credit from our team?

    The Rockets just played damn well. They made steals, they made blocks, they held the Spurs to 37% shooting and shot 50% themselves. That's not just the other team being "garbage", that's pure domination.

    Loving the defense that Dalembert brings. The second unit is decent, but I still think it would have better if we kept Lin ;)

    Maybe the Rockets had something to do with that. I will never call a win against a team that has Parker, Ginobli, Duncan and Jefferson in the starting line-up garbage.

    The word TANK should be grounds for dismissal. Go Rockets!

    Great defensive scheme coach !

    It was a great defensive scheme funny how a shot blocking rim protector can have a major impact

    excuse me? that's a ridiculous statement. I saw a guy who played a lot with steve nash. pretty good role model. and it even shows a little in his game too me.

    As I was watching his game tonight I felt like he should've given the finger to all of the fans that were probably there live that thought he should be traded after the first game or that he was playing like crap on purpose as a result of the trade fallout.

    I love how a player can basically have a 4 block and 7 rebound game and put up virtually nothing on the offensive end and people LOVE IT. I'm not being sarcastic here... people didn't know how our defense didn't even have a chance because we didn't have a guy that could block shots. Now that we have a legit defensive big, I think as long as the offense doesn't fail us we can probably squeak into the playoffs.
