    He needed to play good after getting abused by Orlando's center

    Is it just me or do the Spurs get away with some blatant fouling/hacking in games? I thought the reason their fouls p/g is so low was because of their discipline but I saw both Green & Leonard get away with some obvious reach-ins on Harden in the closing minutes of the game.

    Seems like the refs are more lenient on them than other teams because of reputation.

    Golden State seem to get the lenient treatment too. Some teams just get looked after

    I'm really happy they won. Even happier seeing them win, not because they got hot from 3's or scoring, but because they clamped down and got stops.

    Awesome seeing Capela's agility, picking up switches on the perimeter. Noticed a couple times he stuck on Leonard and some of the Spurs guards and forced them into jumpers when they couldn't get by him.

    Lawson looked good too. I really hope he's finding his place on the team, his step-back midrange j is almost automatic.

    We take one step at a time. Lawson's trademark move is coming off a PnR followed by a hesitation move around the elbow, either continue to drive or mid-range. I was real concerned when he stopped doing that.

    And yes, 1+1 > 2. When he and Harden learns how to play off each other, that back court is going to be scary in offense. It will open EVERYTHING.

    FINAL: Rockets 88, Spurs 84. Some Christmas hope: The Rockets are changing the narrative and may be turning this thing around.

    Parker scored 2 points.

    Leonard's +5 plus/minus was beast and Spurs best.. Duncan 2nd with +2.

    Harden played well on defense mostly and was clutch shooting on a cold night overall.

    Where's Thornton? Public should know if something's going on. Not really, but what's up with the DNP?

    Dwight was decent. Hopefully he's pacing himself because he was springy vs Magic.


    GREAT WIN

    Rockets 4-1 vs Western Top 4 :cool: If we bring effort we can beat anyone.. at home at least
