    Great win! But seriously, Rockets need to stop waiting until the 4th Qtr to play D - the last few games have been horrific for the first 3 qtrs

    as much as we all like the boring games, we are not going to always stifle teams to scoring under 100, as nice as that would be.. the fact is we are now being targeted, teams know we will score a ton of points and they wont be able to do anything about it, so they come up with ridiculous amount of energy.. Point is it will get tougher and tougher and these types of win are equally if not more important.. Just knowing that we can easily delete 10-15 point 4th quarter leads in no time can be a major confidence boost for us and demoralizing for opponents.. I thought these last two wins were very important and some of our better victories.

    give the other team credit, they were white hot from three no matter if we were defending the shot

    Visiting a pels forum right now was really satisfying. „Im not worried about the rockets, their game doesn’t translate to the playoffs“

    Lmao at least we have been making the playoffs more than once in this decade idiots

    I like the ball in the basket and the opponents ball not in the basket.

    I heard one of the stats guys recently(I think it was Nate Duncan's pod) saying that despite the Rocket's high ranked defense, they actually allow other teams high quality shots - it's just that generally they don't make them but if you are judging our defense by expected field goal percentage, we are actually not a very good defense.
