    If Pop was't so hard headed , Spurs would be a problem

    Bertaans, Forbes, Belly, Patty are all tremendous shooters that aren't allowed to shoot threes.

    it's amazing the spurs can amass all these shooters to take for granted and the Rockets can't get one.

    the refs were garbage this game, Harden was getting hacked all night...

    TC was fire during the final 2 minutes of the 4th

    MAN, what a win.
    Spurs came in hot, blowing teams out.
    We came in without CP as underdogs
    GRIT. I LIKE it

    rebounds 58 to 43, 19 to 5 on offensive rebounds. Capela with 23 boards and Tucker with 16. Pure effort and hustle.

    it's amazing how the Rockets can go from hot to ice cold multiple times throughout a game

    it was so bad during the 1st half that I was thinking that Harden should just say "fck it" and go Kobe-mode and take 40+ shots...I trusted no one else

    thankfully guys stepped up in the 2nd half...shoutout Gerald Green in particular

    It's amazing what happens when our C is allowed to stay in the paint.

    Let's see how long it actually lasts.

    Harden brings us this win.

    MDA has to do better job on coaching. He did nothing impressive so far.

    As long as our bigs (and I'm counting Tucker as a big even though he's not that big) show this much heart and energy on the glass, the Rockets will be tough for anybody to beat. Capela has a nose for the ball, and although occasionally he has motor issues, I think it can be attributed to fatigue from running the floor so hard.

    You don't want to give EGo, Green or Harden a 2nd chance three because they're damn good at making those.

    Looking at the schedule up ahead, although it's looking pretty damn scary, Clint should be able to out-rebound all his matchups except for possibly AD and maybe Steven Adams. If he can play like today, the Rockets can win every game. Now, I'm not saying they will win every game, but they can.

    And I hope PJ Tucker's ankle gets better. He really battled through the pain tonight, and I have so much respect for that.

    The refs didn't give Harden 2 and 1 ones either. He is treated worse than a role player at times.

    3rd career 20/20 game for Capela.

    His contract is acceptable.
