Struggle? That was like the smoothest game they've played all year. Led by 10 the whole 2nd half anyway. Hell, just win. Screw all you ultra negative nancy pants if you don't like it.
The Rockets are the kings of attempting to match the level of each team they play. When they attempt to match down, they often go too far and lose or barely win what should have been an easy blowout. When they to attempt to match up, they sometimes come away with a harrowing win (nonrepeatable), or they don't quite make it and lose anyway to the better team. This aspect alone should have been reason to change coaches a while ago. The Spurs, even though they're old as dirt and actually struggle to win against talented teams recently, ALWAYS take care of the teams they should beat, so they always are in the mix. The Rockets have no concept of that.
