    Dmo let him get hot late in the 3rd and early in the 4th. Not closing out on the perimeter

    Outstanding defense by our starters tonight. Good thing that Lebron 3 at end of 3rd qtr was waved off.

    Whew!!

    This win is big because it gives confidence to the whole team that we are getting closer. Need a little more focus and hard work

    I'll give you that. And to be fair DMo and Asik both had bad games as well.

    Rox won - good game and a character builder.

    I really wish we would cut down on our turnovers though, they really hurt us overall.

    That horrible bench production will not win a championship. Starters are good enough to do it, but something needs to be done to improve bench production.

    Well, tonight the bench almost lost the game. Maybe McHale needs to do some rethinking there?

    Rockets are 19-0 since January when scoring 100 or more points.

    1-6 when scoring less than a 100.

    I think Hamilton was a really good pick up for the Rockets. He is giving good minutes and is an asset to the second unit. In my opinion for the Rockets to be legitimate contenders Lin has to get something going. There just isn't any scoring with the second unit when Lin struggles. I really hope he get some of his mojo back before the playoffs start.

    Seriously. I hope Morey has something planned, because the status quo isn't going to cut it. Canaan deserves a shot to take Lin's role as backup PG. Troy Daniels should get a look too.

    Guys I am shocked so many people are so confused what happen with that harden play, he was worried about 8sec call which is exactly what heat where going for instead of the quick foul. He had about 2 sec to adv it after the 1st hesitation and the heat had a wall built. It still was a pretty bad decsion and pas s, the timeout was the play but it was far from as HORRIBLE/worst pass every like everything is saying.

    We won, but we played imperfect basketball. I cannot be happy because of this.

    best game of the year. if the heat didnt just play last night they might have had a little more legs for the 3's and ft's they missed.

    i dont think this is our championship year, but the core of the team is championship level. i think we need a stronger bench, a vet or two who knows how to win, and a little playoff experience for key guys like bev, chandler, and jones. mchale is going a good job but can also improve with experience.

    hopefully dmo takes the next step foreward over the summer, and morey can find a steal with the MLE for a 3-D swingman.

    This is on Lin tonight, but not only on Lin - Hamilton took like 2 shots in 18minutes. You can't score if you don't shoot. That said, I am curious to see Canaan play more - tonight would not have been the game to experiment though.
