    Nice win. Although Bucks got close a few times, I don’t think Houston lost control of the game. Nice to see Asik back. Still mad that he did what he did, but I really hope he will stay with this team.

    Big game on Monday.

    Other way around for men. Sex decreases your t-levels. It's a flat out rule in all boxing gyms. No snu snu before a fight.

    However, for women it increases their t-levels. Ronda Rousey ramps up snu snu before a fight.

    Wow, another nail biter. Just glad we got the win - some bad shooting by all in the last few minutes and some very questionable calls gave the bucks a chance. Very happy to see Dwight really taking care of business at the line in crunch time - that will be one of the biggest factors in the playoffs if he can keep that up.Bev and Lin were a dynamic duo again for most of the game. 5 in a row feels good however you get it, but they need to put these teams down earlier.

    Good win Rox....were playing well these past few games, some chemistry now developing and getting some good healthy bodies on the court. Were peaking at the right time and hopefully push for a top 4 spot.

    P.S. Some of you posters need to hide your Lin binoculars. He played well most of the game, his not perfect but who is?

    Ugly, but I'll take it. Love the way Dwight is playing last couple games.

    Or perhaps if they weren't missing half of their roster. Win is a win, but this is not a team that can "coast", especially when you're defense sucks.

    I know everyone loves Giannis but OUCH that was a tough game. 1 point on 8 shots.

    Yeah, that would be a great secondary option. Lin tried that 1/2 PNR several times on that last possession. Wolters always jumped the screen. Harden or Lin needs to set it up so when the pick is set, Harden is right on Wolters hip.

    When Asik was in, he actually was very willing to run screen at high. Dwight doesn't like it as much.

    They were probably gassed. Never been a fan of McHale's player
    time management.

    That little bump would've been perfectly legal last season. This season the refs make it a point to be whistle happy.

    The Houston "making it harder than it has to be" and "we make all stars out of scrubs" Rockets.

    With

    James " I almost came to play" Harden
    Pat "I wish I could have played more because I was on fire" Beverly
    Dwight "I am as good as advertised" Howard
    Chandler "not on my game" Parsons
    Jeremy "I was really balling till I lost focus at the end" Lin
    Terence "MIA" Jones
    D "foul machine" Mo
    Omar "I can barely breathe" Asik AND
    "was I even in the game" Casspi

    It wasn't necessarily a terrible play tonight as he made some nice midrange J's tonight off the dribble - but feeding Dwight would have been the better call as Harden was way off at the end.

    Lin had to play 15 min in the 2nd half without a rest. I think a little break would have helped.

    Hate that the Rockets continue to make games closer than they should be, but thankful for the win.
