    Beating Miami was like getting the cake, beating Pacers was putting the candles on that cake. uknowwhatimsayin

    so when we beat Miami at their home is "eating the cake" and if we beat pacers again is blowing off the candles. ithinkiknowwhatursayin.

    It's an encouraging sign. Jeremy should blaze past Portland.

    I agree anytime you beat the defending champs let alone prob one of the top 3 players in nba history on top of that he's in his prime coming off a hot streak. That win was incredible and showed just IMO that the rockets might be inching towards being the best team in the league. If we can beat okc I'll be a believe that this team is the odds on favorite out west.

    Dwight's the best big in the nba and can do so much on offense and defense. And james is proving everyone why he got that #4 espn ranking. Since jan. He's had the rockets as the best team in the nba record wise and his play has been MVP level. IMO with a wcf birth at least he will be regarded as the 3rd best player in the league. Pretty impressive considering just 2 seasons ago he was the 6th man of the yr. ohh and he's 24... The rest of the league better be worried cause the rockets as long as harden is healthy are title contenders for the next 6-8 yrs.

    He grabbed his back right afterwards.

    The Rockets are in such a Groove such that Parson's head is making passes as well :grin:

    Just don't give away Home Court Advantage to Portland oK?

    Granted the Pacers are slumping, but that was the best game I've seen the Rockets play all season.

    I dont like that Lin's injury was so bad that he affected his play that bad...because that slump was...whats the word...painful. Hard to watch. Why even bother play Lin instead of just letting him heal fully? There were games when he played it looked like he was hurting the team than helping. At first I though Houston was playing down his injury is possibly to make opponents waste time coming up with a game plan for Lin, thereby taking focus off the rest of the team. But seeing as we have Howard/Harden/CP, teams would focus everything on stopping those three. So what is the reason they played that information close to the vest? Playing Lin through the slump did more bad then good for Houston.

    Then they'd have no backup for Beverley. Canaan hasn't played meaningful minutes all season.
