Rockets don't always win, but when they do, it's a blowout

    The Rockets have so many blowout wins this season. Not just by 20 but many by 30 too. I don't remember seeing a year that had this many blow out victories. You would expect that the rockets would have a better record but instead they are the 7th best team in the West.

    Young team = inconsistency.

    And we had a rough start with Harden joining the team 2 days before the first game of the season, Lin coming off knee surgery, and a nearly complete roster turnover.

    In other words, it takes time to find chemistry.. but when this team clicks, watch out. I think they can take any team in the NBA on any given night... OKC found that out the hard way. :grin:

    Not sure why most posters on here do not take this into account before creating threads.

    Think it has more to do with their style. They like jack up a lot of threes. When they are hitting them they score a lot of points when they don't they tend to lose.

    I sure liked Robinson's game tonight. He showed me a lot. The move from the 3 line was athletic. We got upside over here !

    What I love about this team is we're so young. Can you imagine what this team would do in 3 or 5 years together?

    B.S.

    We hardly lose by more than 10. I think we have lost to OKC twice by more than 10, SA once and GS once. I think only three times out of those loses we lose by more than 20.

    3 blowout loses this far in the season wouldn't qualify as us losing UGLY when we lose.

    today they mentioned how the cavs are the third youngest team in the league. Cavs seem liek a very young team that is up and coming and have a lot of high lottery picks. the rockets are the youngest team in the league. keep in mind this team pre harden trade was expected to be one of the worst teams in the league. This team is def ahead of schedule but they will still have bumps along the way. 80 percent of their starting lineup is starting for the first time in their careers. To me it is impressive that they are showing so much composure while being in the playoff hunt. I can only think this is bc the leadership provided by the coaching staff, especially mchale
