    I was wrong. Mike is playing an 11man rotation. He's just saving Bruno, Carroll and Frazier for the 4th quarter.

    This is the best defense I've seen from them all season. We've seen shades of this against big boy teams like the Lakers, looks like the Rockets legit just turned up another gear.

    Bucks got beat down by Rocket Gods Gary Clark and James Ennis.

    Could the trailblazers keep the perfect day going?

    Our defense kept them guarded. Not much penetration and we onwed the perimeters on both ends tonight.

    It’s a shame that hamstring injury has robbed Paul a lot of explosiveness. He is still crafty but his cross over explosiveness is gone.

    Having said that you can be sure he will be better in game 2 . He is way to proud

    Dantoni did great game 1. Especially in the 2nd half. He called a timeout after back to back CP3 three pointers. I'll eat crow for game 1 aka the "feel you out" game.

    Whew, one down and three more to go. We have a tradition during playoffs...when the Rockets win, we eat the same dinner meal before each meal until they lose a game. Thursday, more McDonald cheeseburgers for lunch since it is an afternoon game. Thank goodness it wasn't a Perry's curbside steak.

    Great win Rockets...Houston Strong.

    strange how she was nowhere to be found as the Rockets were dominating

    casual fake fans like @ashleyem only want to see the team fail...it’s the only time they show up

    They were smoke and mirrors.

    And they match up really poorly vs. the Rockets. Despite what SVG says.
