That first half never happened, it was all a fragment of our imagination. Second half was where it was at! Guys came out with that hustle and heart from last night, Coach McHale must've really ripped them a new one in the locker room
Twin tower lineup in the 3rd quarter: Allowed Utah 3 field goals: from 11ft, 12ft and 11ft Sent Utah to free throw line 3 times (they hit all 6 of 6) In 9 minutes and 29 seconds, the Jazz were able to score 12 points. It isn't pretty, the offense looks at times horrible, but this kind of crushing D is what elite teams do when facing trouble. The shooting comes and goes even for talented offensive teams, legs are not always going to be there, this is how to weather the storms and grind it out until we can get something going! Bottom line: The starting lineup needs a lot of work but I'm not willing to abandon the concept just yet, not even close! (Also, we need Beverley back)

Ugly 1st half, but came out in the 2nd half to play! A lot more energy and being much more aggressive. Did not give up, Great win! Rockets can not come out flat like that against a good team like say the clippers next game.
Am I the only person who found it hilarious when Harping kept claiming Jazz should resort to Hack-a-Howard tactics? Also claimed we couldn't win a game with Parsons being our top scorer lol.
Jeremy had a very poor start so no harm in letting Beverley start as long as Lin gets him minutes later in the game.
Its almost to the point where I'd rather just give those minutes to Canaan. AB can't defend his position and is no longer the blur he used to be on offense.
Whew glad the Rox played hard in the 2nd half, wish they would have played hard in the first half too. A win is a win though....and against the Mavs and Jazz in back to back games.. HELL YES ! DD
Lin's D can be really solid, but you can't deny that he goes for stretches where he misses assignments... Nevertheless, a driving force for our victory tonight. 3-0!
