    Just tweaked a mild ankle sprain.
    If it was the playoffs or a more important game/tougher opponent he would have played.

    What did you think of Beverley hurting Westbrook last year in the playoff's. He knew dude was calling a timeout, so what was the purpose of him trying to steal the ball?

    Agreed but Garcia didn't have to do what he did bro. Both of them did some punk shi&.

    Most inefficient post player in all the league, exaggeration is strong with this one.

    did we play and win some most impressive games when our superstars were out, Harden and Howard...
    when Chris Paul was out, Griffin turned to a monster....
    When Harden and Howard out, Lin and T Jones really turned on...

    I feel the same way about the Beverley play, didn't like it, especially the 2nd time.

    I loved it, he is basically saying he won't back down and fricken Westbrook does the same play, did it to Lin the year before.

    Body builders usually suck at fighting.

    Great game.

    One of our best wins of the season.

    Don't care if Utah blows... Rockets handled their biz. Thought we had chance to beat last year's 45-point massacre.

    Good ball movement and we shot well.
    Did not having Dwight's ball stopping self a factor?
    Maybe
    Not sure if I'd want to risk having a larger sample size.
    Larger sample = Dwight injury

    Sample size was last year, and a game 6 against teams as good as OKC is prob the ceiling for this team without Dwight.

    I have a question. Where was Casspi? He wasn't anywhere to be seen.

    We would have blown them out with Dwight as well. Them boys were hitting on all cylinders. And BTW Dwight is not a ball stopper, dude barely get 10+ shot attempts a game LOL.

    Solid all round game from our guys. Hope Dwight will come back strong. Keep up the good work.
    Go Rockets!

    From memory, there was discussion that Westbrook (and others) have
    in the past, tried the ploy of where you "pretend" you're going to do
    a timeout, everyone relaxes, and then he sprints up for a layup or something
    like that.

    So the challenge was legitimate or something like that.

    Dwight's ball stoppage is deeper than shot attempts.

    -FTs
    -TOs
    -strips/fumbles that go out of bounds, but Rockets keep possession

    Glad to have Dwight though. Just hoping he continues to improve.

    He knew WB was going to call a timeout so he was going to steal the ball because he was expecting WB to leave his guard down. It was a smart basketball play that led to an unfortunate incident.

    Cisco shouldn't have got chippy at Lucas at the end of the game... should have just fell over laughing his ass off. Best way to respond to that kind of thing
