    We got the "Good Terrence Jones" today. When this guy show up, the team doesn't have to go small to get things rolling. When we have Terrence's less talented twin brother Terrkieff Jones in his place, going small is often the better course of action.

    They're both still better than the oldest brother, Zerrence Jones.

    The refs were working hard for San Antonio, but we managed to win anyway. HOME COURT! I love it! McHale should just play the bench during the next game. Give them some minutes and rest the starters. Harden, Parsons, Beverley, and Howard could use some time to get completely well, or as well as a player in this league can get at this time of the year. And sit Jones, too. Donuts desperately needs to rediscover his game, so McHale should play him as well as Casspi until they want to pass out from exhaustion. Get their heads on straight before the fun starts.

    I'm not liking how our defense has seemingly disappeared. We just have to hope that the guys will rediscover it in time for the playoffs.

    I wouldnt be surprised that this is the thinking.

    It was a meaningless games for the Spurs so he could pull these
    sort of stunts.

    Good team win.
    Not as brittle as earlier in the season but still too brittle for my liking/comfort.

    Rest the starters next game and bring on the Blazers.

    Go team!

    Anybody notice we have the same record as the Heat? Our last game against the Pelicans could have huge consequences should the Rockets and Heat meet in the finals.

    The "Good Terrance Jones" would be that fellow a.k.a. "Basketball Jones", while the Bad Terrence Jones" would be... "Turkey Jones"? Or would that be "Jerkoff Jones"?

    (Sorry, I but just couldn't help but take the bait...)

    Went to tonights game, awesome game!!

    Parsons, Howard, Jones all amazing, Asik played very solid, Beverley looks like he hasn't lost a step.

    Great win, even though neither Parker or Duncan played in the 4th.

    Dude, crazy amount of Spurs fans where at the game. I sit down, 2 girls, very loud spurs fans right next to me. A couple guys come up, turns out girla where in wrong seats the guys replace them. I think to my self " nice got rid of the spurs fans ". Then i realize these guys were spurs fans too lol.

    Seeiously spurs have some great fans, traveled all the way to houston to see basically the spurs bench face our starters. Every spurs basket, lots of fans cheering, some louder then the rockets fans cheers for our team.

    This is the first time we've had home court advantage in the playoffs since Clutch started this site.

    Didn't we have home court advantage in the 2007 playoff series against the Jazz? I remember those first two home wins and the disheartening game 7 lost.

    Times have changed though! Let's go Rockets!!

    You got to think ahead of time, my friend. You don't ever want to say, "I wish, we coulda... etc...".

    Yes, we had home court in 2007 and 2008. Not that it did us any good.

    There is no thinking ahead, you rest your starters period.

    This has got me worried. Pop has had the ability to look at our starters and has a longer time to adjust.
