    Rox playing with more confidence as of late, you can see their compusure on the court..they don't have the emotional "Meltdowns" loosing games like this by 20 points which we've seen time and time again. Lawson played a decent game...good to see him improving from game to game. LeBron time!

    Honestly...Ariza steps up for the stars like Lebron/KD/Paul George/etc., and he takes the night off if we're not playing any of those guys.

    Couple of things I want to say:

    1. I have been very critical of Ariza this season, but I must give credit where it is due. He has been fantastic over the past week or so on both ends of the floor, so I hope he keeps it up.

    2. Harden is my guy, but he played like **** tonight. I am more than fine with him taking threes, but quality looks! I cannot state this enough. He's taking some horrible shots and its reflected in his % this season. Take your threes when in rhythm, off the catch and within the flow of the offense. Play smarter buddy. He was really poor today. Again with the bounce passes, sloppy turnovers and there was literally zero need to ISO so much down the stretch, especially on the last possession, we had a three point lead!

    All in all, it kind of felt like we didn't respect the Wolves tonight and went through the motions, but a win is a win right?

    Go rockets

    Tbh to Ariza, Not to many people stop Lebron. You just hope he has an off night.

    Real problem is Rockets not giving up open 3's cause you dont want JR and rest of the crew bombing on you all game

    yep I agree..and yep a win is a win...if we can win games when Harden isn't playing at his peak level, with Beverly on the bench it's a good thing. It wasn't long ago we'd get blown out by 20 points in games like this

    I'm a $4-aire for the 2nd straight drawing. Of course I spent more than 4 bucks on tickets, so that's not a good return on my investment. I think I'm gonna restrict myself to only buying Powerball tickets when the jackpot is over 1 1/2 billion from now on. With the new odds they put in place last October though, that'll probably a regular occurrence.
