    Got the momentum going into the 2nd half. That's big

    I rather the Rockets be up 10 than down 10.

    this is headline heading into halftime

    Harden's hot hand cools off

    James Harden poured in a quick 12 points in the first quarter, but he hasn't scored since 3:09 of the first quarter.

    Preferable to just run up when their defense isn't set.

    Jones got an open three, just didn't make it.

    If Jones would have made that...

    Good half but cannot let up like we did to close the half. Gotta keep running them off of the floor especially if Paul, Griffin and DJ are not going to rest.

    Gotta get the Clippers tired and make them have to play fast to keep up.

    Every time Astros win Rockets win, Rockets lost when the Astros lost to the Rangers those couple of games.

    Rather than passing the ball to Terry in fast break transition, Jones decided to be curry...

    Good first half! I'd like to see Harden play faster.

    the rockets nearly long bombed their 2nd quarter lead away. the offense can't bog down like that again.

    Harden and Howard are dominating and it is great to see

    won both the quarters so far and now need to come out and win the third

    It should've been, but that would've allowed the Clippers to get their D set. T-Jones got a wide open look. He just shot it too hard.

    Great first half for the Rockets. They cooled down to below 50% as I expected, but they managed to hold onto a double digit lead which is crucial. Look at the minutes the Clippers starters are playing(23 for Griffin, 22 for Redick, 21 for Paul and Jordan). If the Rockets keep pushing it, LA will on fumes by the end of the 3rd.

    Ariza missing some wiiiiiide open looks.

    Crawford hitting tightly contested 3s vs us missing wide open ones.

    You'd like to think the odds will even out in the second half.

    We can do this Clutch City. Just need to play smart in this second half and don't leave JJ in the corner.
