    Would've been one block as well, if they had counted it.

    Welcome to the team...."Rockets".... wish I could back track you "in time" to the 80's and up until today... The Rockets are real good team to follow and root for.

    We've have some great NBA history and NBA wars.

    QFT. if you look at the game and not just the box score, you'll see a lot of his TO's come off of trying to create. perhaps a bit too risky sometimes, but you can see what he is trying to do. with more experience his passing will get better, and with more chemistry, his teammates will be on the same page and anticipate/handle the passes better. his bad passes are when he drives without a plan and passes out of desperation. THOSE are silly and he has done this way less than when he was in ny. the answer imo is if there is nothing there, shoot it. if he develops a good, solid floater/ mid range stop & pop, then he can beat his man and not have to fear the collapsing lane/help defense...

    The Rockets are in for a battle against NOLA. I hope they are prepared. Gordon has been balling & NOLA just gave the Spurs the fits.

    Remember a while back wen i said Defino was an integral part of his team. He does everything for us, score, defend and pass the ball well. Harden clearly won his duel with Kobe. The changing of the guard is well under way. L8in was great in the second half and Douglas continues to impress.

    Even without Gordon they pushed all the way at home.

    It's because Lakers have really bad defensive PGs
