    Great win by the Rockets. Take it one game at a time. We get to see other westerns teams beat each other up tomorrow. Blazers/Grizzlies and Spurs/Clippers.

    I believe he meant on the other end, where Harden is guarding CP part time.

    I think he means Harden defending Parsons.

    He means because Harden will have to work on D because Parsons will be attacking offensively.

    Awesome to win with Harden having a subpar game and Dwight being limited by foul calls

    Terry and Brewer were huge from distance

    Ariza and Jones with awesome all around games

    Harden didn't force anything and Howard looked great

    Capela with some decent minutes

    GREAT WIN:grin:

    If we could clean up our act, we could blow this team out on any given night

    Pretty dominating performance by the Rockets tonight, despite the close score.

    10 point win with Harden not shooting well, Howard limited with foul trouble, Smith doing Lord knows what out there and relying on a rookie to be a back up center.

    If that happened last year, I would have thought we got blown out. But it was a total team effort tonight. JET, Ariza, Jones, Capela and Brewer in the 4th were absolutely huge. It has to be this way from here on out. Nice to have Harden to rely on but it needs to be a team effort every night.

    Dallas cannot hang with us. Their only hope tonight was having Dwight in foul trouble and James struggling to hit some shots. Wish they would stop flopping then complaining every time down but if they are going to resort to that to win games then all power to them.

    1 win down, 15 more to go!!

    Brewer was the reason the Rockets won

    lol i saw kostas "yeah i been watching u in the stands. call me baby? ok"

    dwight had bad calls as usual but he sticks hsi body out a lot on screens he has to stop. hasnt played a lot so he forgot a few thigns but he'll get there. refs tho, they cant call obvious flops after the first game. like game 1 vs portland how rockets has no fts in the first half. that **** only works once and only once.

    We missed 13 FTs, Dwight only played 17 minutes due to ticky tack fouls by Joey Crawford, and Harden went 4-11, and we still won by double digits.

    Capela played very well for the Rooks first Playoff game! Glad he got the PT over Dorsey.

    JET's interview on ROOT Sports was incredible. Such a classy professional. Bart Ennis kept trying to compliment the teams passing, and JET complains about the turnovers. JET kept on about being humble and hungry and to come to work on Tuesday night.

    This team is in a good place with JET, Ariza, and Brewer's veteran leadership.
