Not a pretty win, but it was a win.

Seriously when was the last time the Rockets won a game comfortably!? They can't even beat the Nuggets and struggling against the Magic. Seems like McHale doesn't mentally prepare them for game time. I don't see the real contending teams like the Warriors, Spurs, Clippers struggling against sub par teams. But oh well I'll take the win no matter how we get it. Just not a good sign

A nice gritty win. Better.

its the new age rockets basketball. in the last 5 min they stop running plays, as if they have any i dunno, and they run the clock dwon and shoot threes. maybe it works if you nave 5 ray allens on your team we dont have one, so maybe im missing something. they treat the 3pt shot like a high class hooker. harden treats it like one of his strippers. i hope they stop that and play some actual basketball. dont bore the fans plz

oh yeah and evan funnier is fournicating the heck out of his opponents. i wonder if james feels a deep burn inside his bunghole getting lit up by a white boy. i know i would

What's with the no PF routine? I realize that's it's new age small ball fast pace offense and we're missing T-Jones and D-Mo, but our rebounding is severely lacking at time. We also have Harrell who has been playing great and although he doesn't space the floor well, he is very quick, agile and athletic. Would like to see him more especially with these injuries.

The lack of rebounding is hurting this team's ability to create that fast offense where they thrive. I have liked what I have seen from Harrell, but he definitely needs more time out there. I know that they are trying to bring Howard along slowly, but right now that seems like it may not be a good approach. I get the feeling that he won't play Friday against Sacramento since they'll be playing the Clippers the next night.

I know that Houston has a ton of back-to-back games this season. Does anyone know which team has the most?

but it help the pick and roll defense
watching GSW vs LAC game last night
we must have the worst pick and roll defense in this league
Curry was able to fight through screen on pick and roll
why our PG can't?
GSW even have two guys come trap CP3 and block his vision to pass the ball over to Griffin
can someone give Thibodeau a call?
just pay him head coach salary to be our defensive coordinator

Exactly, so in the last 5 minutes when they look lost and start jacking up 3's, isn't that the coach's responsibility to run plays, run something to get good looks!? Their Iso's become so predictable and ugly.

im not even sure if they have any plays. i know there's a high screen with someone cutting to the rim. i hope they eventually run a few plays that have a series of screens and cuts
