That was almost a legit excuse not to go work out.

Nice. A bit shakey down the stretch, but Delfino shot well, and Harden was Harden when we needed him to be.

The bench played really well today. DMo had a nice stretch in that 2nd quarter (looked pretty poor defensively in that 2nd half though). I thought Anderson played well to end the third/start the 4th, Beverley knocked down his perimeter shots (and is always active), and Smith feasted on the P&R.

way to close that game out!

Impressive ball distribution. Almost had 8 Rockets in double digits (3 players with 9 pts)! Loved how Harden let his teammates get into the game, but hit the big shots at the end when we needed. Delfino gets the game ball, saved the game for us. DMO+Smith: 9-10, 19 pts! I'd like to see the Rockets keep getting them the PNR.

Ass.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Two solid wins coming out of the All-Star break.

Need to do everything not to have a letdown game happen tomorrow night against the Wizards. This team is not good enough to take anyone for granted, so I hope that they review the last game against Sacramento before they step on the court tomorrow.

After that it is a nice 3 days off for the guys!

Dmo played so well in the first half and then he made every imaginable mistake possible for the 2nd half. Young player will do that. Good learning experience for him. He's getting pushed around out there but he's a quick 7 footer. If he can make his outside shot consistently, he will be a mainstay in the rotation.


Carlos Delfino. 8-) I picked him up in our Fantasy basketball yesterday. I saw it coming. Not the production but a mega jump in shot attempts and minutes. If he continues to play PF, he will see many many attempts.

Also i'll like to commend Parsons for what a defensive job he did on Williams. And props to Mchale for going with this defensive matchup.

Washington way to big for this team right now, and im pretty sure they are one of the better defensive teams now not too confident about tomorrow.

Washington has been one of the top 3 defensive teams in the league since Wall's return (top 5 for the season). They're big inside, and over .500 in their last 20 games. And the teams they've beaten for their 11 wins, 9 OF THEM have come against .500+ teams. Wiz are no joke, and IMO a tougher game for us than Brooklyn, simply because Brooklyn doesn't really have an identity. Webster has been on fire too.

Great I had no idea about the 9 of 11 .500+ teams..
:x

Not too familiar with Okafor anymore but I know he used to be one of the bigs in the league that draw a large number of fouls, cause he was so active & got good position...
The last thing we need is for Asik to get into foul trouble.

Bitch! But I still think this is a win for the Rockets.
