    Get rebounded by 27, let other team shoot 52 percent on you, KAT goes off for 37/22 and we still won by double digits

    A center that was in the bottom 25% of the league in PPP as a roller on "the best regular season team ever" can't be a perfect fit in this offense, by definition.

    We're on pace to win 31 at home and 26 on the road for a 57-25 record. I suspect we'll improve upon that number.

    Team >>>> Individual

    It's something all team sports players know, but this team shows it.

    The rockets will get spanked in the postseason if they play lazy like that

    Apparently, this stat noted by Bill Simmons has never happened before.

    I don't want to complain about a 12 point win, but that was ugly. Our defense has actually been playing well lately, so it kind of hurts to watch a game like this. Credit to the Wolves for playing hard, but there were so many mistakes on our part that a good team would take advantage of.

    yep...and that's why Wolves grabbed 30 more rebounds tonight and folks don't think Bogut or whomever we can hopefully attain for rim protecting/grabbing rebounds can't make a difference....jeez

    Only got to watch some of the game, but our TRIPLE THREAT 3 guard unit
    is a thing of beauty. Bev, Gordo and Lou were amazing. Great ball movement and scoring with ease.
    I think Williams' value has been understated.

    I was at the game tonight, actually got last minute tickets which were surprisingly expensive for 400 section ($45 each). Yes lower bowl wasn't packed at all but 97% of the 400 sections were packed. I really do think Les needs to lower the prices of lower bowl and make more available to public and less corporate.

    I hope Bogut gets bought out and sees our need to to have a big to push us over the edge. We need him more than the Cavs.

    Brook Lopez vs Warriors tonight: 9 points on 23% shooting.
    Vs Rockets: 27 points

    Shows you how badly we need Bogut.

    It was 26 vs Rockets

    On Dec 22 this season, Brook Lopez scored 28 against GSW on 56% shooting
    Shows you how badly they miss Bogut.

    btw: Lopez scores 20 ppg. Not really a great example.

    Unfortunately, their seems to be no alternative to chasing Bogut. Sanders
    scares me with his history, unless he has had a brain transplant.

    Calvin's suit was garbage. If it isn't bedazzled, I'm not interested.

    This is the most fun Rockets I've seen since the less talented, gritty, give everything bunch of Lowry, Martin, Scola, Chick Hayes in the Adelman days
