    Enjoyed the game tonight thanks to my buddy getting some tickets, it was also his first win in any Rockets game he's ever attended (last time we went was against Raptors this season). I just wish our garbage crew would learn not to always get out scored so quick within 2mins :mad:

    This game really shows why Anderson is overpaid, athletic defenders like Marvin Williams can shut him down. In the playoffs we will be facing a lot of these types of guys so its pretty much a certainty Anderson will shoot in the 20s come playoff time just like he did last year.

    While I do love what Anderson has done for us this season, it may be time to oart ways as the Rox wont win a ring if their 18M guy is shooting in the 20s in the post season.

    Almost, team clubbed Hornets.

    Dwight 26 and 18, + 10 tho
    Capela 9 and 11, - 9

    It seemed that Dwight kept 'em in the game.

    I suspect Black with see an uptick in minutes with him sidelined. Expect more of an inside out game with the second unit over the next few weeks. Hopefully Black can make up for Luc's minutes with hustle and rebounding, the oop is there as well when Capela sits.

    Damn that was easy, CP3 is only getting started everyone! He has been trying to figure out how to play and still is, but it sure must feel good to get a 30-10 game and near triple-double. What a luxury, not to need that 32 PPG from Harden every single night. Last year, we didn't win a lot of these games, that's for damn sure. Our defense is solid, but not great yet. Another thing CP3 recognises! Loved his response to tying MJ for games with 30 and 10. "MJ had that many assists?" and the look sold it!!!! Awesome, guys are truly having fun :) I saw Dwight getting blocked thrice by us, why are they not in the full highlights?? It must have been Capela since he had 4. I don't want say anything negative, but damn our third stringers are just not in any shape to play. Our 20 point lead gone like that!!!

    Lol it wasn’t close. We let the 3rd string come in and they give up points like no other

    Nice to see us play enough D to make that early 25-0 blitz stick. That shows more growth as a team that we didn't have to stay hot or need Harden to be other-worldly to win with ease. Again, another positive.

    Troy Williams is the logical choice to replace Luc Mbah a Moute in the rotation. At least he should be given a shot. Williams has the right body and game to do that, but I don't think the coaches trust him enough to give him a role. Troy's D is wildly inconsistent, but I think CP3 could help him harness all that energy (and that huge chip that Troy carries on his shoulder). In my opinion, this is probably Troy's moment to fit in or move on.

    If the chemistry with Troy doesn't work out, we should definitely check out R. J. Hunter down on the Vipers during this homestand. Wow, can he shoot the ball and pour in points. Plus, he's not that bad as a team defender.

    Thanks for love. I'm still hanging in stage 3 unfortunately, but I still run 6 miles a day, go to ratchet concerts, scout college players and associate with a bunch of Ears. Death is coming, but I'm not giving it anything easy.

    Speaking of Ne, he'll be ok, somehow.

    Speaking of February deadlines, security is coming! ;)
