    Rockets are peaking at the right time. Sure, either Sac or the Clippers are not the Worriers but they have shown throughout the season they are quite capable on beating the top teams. Instead, the Rockets smashed them like a good ole Texas boot on a cockroach.

    Developing chemistry is an ongoing ongoing process and I believe it's happening at the right time. Coupled that with a deeper bench and I'm pretty sure this year will be our best shot to hoist a 3rd championship.

    Lastly, good luck is pretty much a requirement for championship teams. Here is to you lady luck!

    I called it!
    as well as 30+ points beatdown!

    ex-rockets has nothing on us except the hustle, when we match their hustle in important games or playoffs they will be left in the dust outclassed.... all the losses to the ex rockets in recent years were due to rockets injuries , lackadaisical play ie rs coasting

    the guys who cover all the bases by saying not saying giannis doesnt deserve it are the worst!

    They do recognise the goatness of the beard and still go with the bogus narrative of the best team (in the east)

    No doubt about that. Green is coming back after getting injured. He will be fine. Go Gerald!

    "my vote is for giannis because of team success, i know its the easier conference but i am not a big fan of watching this...i dont think they can win championship playing like this" ...what a hater!

    and just when he was at the apex of his dumb rant harden passes out of double team to cutting house who throws up a beautiful alley -up pass for a thunderous dunk to Capela!

    Did y'all read about freaking Curry having an eye condition and he's been shooting 51% since he started wearing contacts?!! Oh my, the league better watch out.

    The talking heads routinely cry about how the Rockets brand of basketball is "ugly" basketball. But when the Rockets play great defense and the shots are falling, it's a beautiful thing to behold.

    Team defense was great. Chris and Harden telling the Clippers who are the real bosses on the court!
    Great to see House progressing and Rivers showing his dad that he is proud to be a Houston Rocket!
    Hope to see some additional shooting from Tucker and Faried. Gerald will be back soon to rain the 3's down too.
    A final comment for the Harden haters. Who says he doesn't play defense? That fighting steal off the floor lead to a basket and fueled our defense forward.
    Go Rockets!

    Rockets look to be on a roll at the right time. Last couple of games they have looked by far the best they have this season. Keep it rolling and win out, and I'll feel pretty good about our chances at making a deep playoff run.

    Also, was watching the NBATV feed and holy moly listening to that Clipper commentator rant was just surreal. Unbelievable how stupid someone can be, especially someone who's job it is to "analyze" the game.
