    Rockets win streak came by the three, so not terribly surprising they'd fall when an opponent goes off from three.

    I like what I'm seeing lately from the Rockets, but any time your offensive success depends on the three ball, you have to be worried about what team's ceiling is. You live and die by it.

    39 pts from 3s is going to win a lot of games, unfortunately it's the Warriors that are getting those points. No defense = no win. The Warriors aren't that bad, they aren't the Bobcats, or the Wizards.

    it's one thing to lose, but to lose without making a run by making defensive and offensive adjustments is not good. yeah, golden state got hot but rox didn't do anything.

    They are only one game back realistically so yes. If you only look at the L column that is which is the most important. If they go on a streak sometime soon they will be right in the middle of the playoff race.

    Here was that crazy reverse layup by Stephen Curry in the final minutes...

    Yeah. They are soon to be a 500 team. Around the same as the Rockets. Rockets may stay the course and win a few more games. Not much seperates middle of the pack teams though.

    We should trade Martin for Ellis straight up.

    That is if the Warrior's GM is as dumb as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.

    I was being facetious. He played fine. The Rockets still need to trade him, though.

    Martin was not the problem tonight. He did his job.

    He can be wild and inconsistent, but when he's on, he's virtually unstoppable.

    He dropped 48 on 18-29 (.621 FG%) last week w/ Westbrook draped all over him, and 5 days before that, he had 33 on 13-21 (.619) against Utah. And tonight, 33 on 13-23. He's an offensive machine, and can get buckets in a variety of ways... off the bounce, 3PT, in transition.

    He and LaMarcus Aldridge are the 2 most underrated players in the NBA, and have been for a few years.

    The warriors just took r****ded shots and made them. Hell nate robinson did a 360 spin, shot a 3, and made it. Just an off-night by the Rox hopefully they comeback strong vs the Grizz

    I was thinking the obvious. Kevin Martin and Scola could get you Pau Gasol. So go for something of similar value if they can. Get back a solid player. Change it up. Heck on most of these last few nights it was Patterson, Lowry, Dragic, Budinger, Hill and others carrying the Rockets to those wins. I really think they might even improve making Scola and Martin turn into some other real solid player.

    Come on?! We had Dream to take us home. This team is obviously lacking a true horse to ride when other things aren't working.
