Just stop it,both of you.let us bask in the win

 

Word.

 

I still can't believe we beat the Warriors... Twice....

 

Win or Lose the discussion will somehow centre around Lin.

Stahp it gooby. Pls stahp.

 

Thank goodness we did, do we play them 1 or 2 more times? At least we will have the tie breaker against them since we lost it to Denver. It may not matter though, GSW is falling fast. They may not even make the playoffs

 

Clutch should make the history question about the Rockets a lot harder when you register. :grin:

 

I come in this thread to bask in the glow of a big win and instead I see Jeremy Lin back and forth posts...every game it's like this.

Can't we just enjoy the win without resorting to this every game. If you see a guy make some sort of Lin related post just ignore it so these discussions get avoided.

Anyway it was nice to be able to watch them (only get to watch NBATV and ESPN games), and suck it Warriors announcers talking about Steph Curry getting the allstar nod once the Beard went down.

 

I am not sure if you guys realize it but we are 7-3 for our past ten games

This with Utah, Miami, Denver, Portland, Gsw as opponents, all above 0.500 teams.

And it doesn't even seem like we are firing on all cylinders. Is anyone else surprised by this?

Damn this team has so much potential it's amazing

 

thank for bring it back up....

 

Or, someone can rep me please?:grin:

 

It's funny that we have exactly the same record as the lakers during last 10 games. When they won, we won. When they lost, we also lost.

 

They don't seem to be that good to me. I don't know how they collected so many wins, but I guess Mark Jackson did a pretty good job with the young team. Both wins showed we matched up well against them, especially last night's win, even we didn't play at our highest level, we still managed to beat them fairly convincingly.

 

ESPN recap:

Is PPatt criminally underrated?

 

What I love about last night's win is that it felt like I was watching a team that has been together for a whole lot longer than 54 games. It was a real team win, and there was a maturity about how they played.

 

He kind of is. He has occasional games where he gives you a double double, and he can be counted on for 10-15 points a night consistently.

 

When was the last time we beat the Warriors in their home court??? I know it's been awhile right??

Just a terrific win last night, and here are a few observations:

-McHale pushed all the right buttons, and in the end the Rockets won fairly easily.

-Harden and Lin didn't shoot very well, but I thought they played pretty good. Harden and Lin were a combined 19-19 in free throws, and they helped get key players for the Warriors in foul trouble. Good job by Harden and Lin.

-Asik as usual, was force in the middle.

-Patrick Beverley was terrific. In 19 minutes he had 7 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds , 2 steals, and no turnovers. The little guy is all over the court and makes things happen. I'm really glad McHale stuck with him longer than usual in the second half. Beverley is a little too aggressive on defense at times, but I can live with that since the rockets need someone to bring great effort on defense. If Beverley can develop a consistent three point shot, he's going to be a terrific find by Morey.

-Morris and Delfino stepped up last night and provided a punch off the bench. They made some big plays in the second half, and McHale gave them some good minutes. Morris had 7 rebounds in 21 minutes, not bad.

-It's clear that Cole Aldrich is this years whipping boy at Clutchfans. Anytime Cole touches the ball and doesn't score, Clutchfans explodes with the negativity. I though Aldrich did pretty well last night. He only played 8 minutes, but several times he prevented the Warriors from scoring after they got the ball in the low post.

-Patterson shot well, but only 2 rebounds in almost 30 minutes was the big downer for the game in my opinion.

Great win by the Rockets.

 

Lost last one before this game, but won the one 2 games ago. In context total game nothing to brag about. Timewise you have go back 2010-2011 season.
