    This is getting seriously ridiculous. WTF happen to the Rockets that could shoot the ball? If the 3s don't come back soon on a consistent basis the team is doomed! No Excuses! Go Rockets!!

    Tonight the NBA is saving the best for first. With the start time being 7 o’clock the Rockets come out on fire and sustain that play until the buzzer sounds. Bottom line. I believe the Rockets blowout the Timberwolves tonight by more than 20 points.

    Rockets in 5

    Pull PJ Tucker out the game if he comes out the game missing again.

    With the way we played defense in Game 3, I don't think benching Tucker is gonna help matters.

    It's been a saying within the Houston rap scene since it was a thing. Paul wal, Bun B and others would say it a lot back in the day.

    Ryno will definitely help as he shot 4/6 in the last game, but Ariza, Gordon, Tucker, and Green all have to step it up and make their damn shots. They all shot a combined 37% during the season, but only shooting 26% during the playoffs for 3.

    Harden and CP shooting 37% and 36% respectively which is on par for what they did during the season.

    Either everyone else has to step up, or Harden's gonna need to have more "Game 1" type performances.

    With all that being said, Rockets should win tonight, 105-98.

    Oh ok. I mean...I know about that stuff but I thought it was something new due to the weird spelling.

    And why is that relevant to this year? Again, Ryno has been great for the Rockets against the Wolves. He needs to play with the 1st team.

    Or better yet, start Anderson. With no Mbah a Moute, we don't have a single good defensive player coming off the bench. Makes sense for now to have Tucker off the bench with Ariza in the starting lineup.

    The playoffs are very long. I suppose that the first round is where you'd prefer to have a shooting draught if you were able to choose. Here's to hoping the draught is nearing its end and we win the series in 5.

    Pretty much this. Thing is, defense in game 2 offset this. And Harden's own brilliance in game 1 off set this. They can make up for it at times but the team really needs to get going with the shooting.

    I get that variance can happen for a game. But we can't have it happen for a SERIES.

    It helps to make more 3's.

    for me its one of those things you just enjoy and dont ask about, leaving an air of mystery about it makes it even more sweet
