    This team has once again shown their focus is where it should be. It was back and forth and then the Jazz bumped the lead up to about 8 points or so in the fourth. Then the Rockets put the clamps on the Jazz game.

    I know a lot of focus will go on the amazing hot streak of EG, and how great that was along with everyone else. But their defense also stepped up big time in order to secure the victory.

    Great job Rockets.

    I would like to say I wasn't ever worried, but going into the 4th, down and with 0 momentum, wasn't pretty. Defense picked up and EG got hot at the right time. Credit to the guys for finding him in the right spots.

    I was very lucky tonight and got hooked up with a suite through a friend that has connections through the technical (behind the scenes) crew at TC. Best game I have ever experienced (the seats had a lot to do with it) outside of a playoff game. If I could hook some of yall up with the same seats I would.

    14 in a row!

    Always defense 1st from the very beginning. Defense can generate offense too.

    Rockets were 9 of 31 from three through the first three quarters. 8 of 12 in the 4th. Ended the game at 40% from 3 as a team. Bonkers. The Jazz shut down Harden pretty effectively with double teams on the bounce, and they still got blown out.

    He might be a hooper but he is moving like a 45 year oldYMCA hooper. The game before he bruised his calf was the blazers game. Just go watch his ability to go by people and attack the basket. It’s like night and day compared to tonight’s game.


    He is playing with a bruised calf and Knee. Commonsense says he needs some rest but I guess we are short on bodies so he probably feels obliged or obligated to play through it.

    Even DAntoni agrees with your statement about slow starts.

    But the good news is that this might explain why we still win ....

    "We couldn't get stops in the fourth quarter and that can happen. We can say we ran out of gas, but they just continued to put pressure on us." - Coach Snyder

    On certain night's, other teams can hang with us if they go all out. The question is, can they do it for 4 qtrs?

    great teams always do that. We have been smashing teams this team. the top teams turn it on when they need to a lot and we are one team that does it. It's why there are 3 quarters to play and not just 3

    He was happy not being called for offensive foul so some random **** poped out of his head trying to pretend he wasnt surprised he got the call, not to make ref regret giving him the benefit of the call

    ESPN president resigns, citing substance addiction

    ESPN president John Skipper resigned on Monday, citing a substance addiction

    "I have struggled for many years with a substance addiction," Skipper said in a statement. "I have decided that the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem."

    He went on to say, "I come to this public disclosure with embarrassment, trepidation and a feeling of having let others I care about down."

    The resignation takes effect immediately. In a farewell email to staffers, Skipper said, "It has been my absolute privilege to serve as president of ESPN."

    Skipper was one of the most powerful people in both the media and sports worlds and managed ESPN's hugely profitable portfolio at a time of tremendous stress on the cable business.
