Ugh...Bulls bringing it early.

And Harden has been a bit lazy with the ball.

Again, nice to have Anderson back and shooting from 80 feet behind the line.

I haven't been able to catch a game in a while now, and I was thinking of trying to find a stream to see some of this one.

Tell me it is worth the effort, and that I am foolish if I choose not to do so.

Well, they managed to come back and briefly get the lead. At least it is competitive now.

First to 50! How did that happen? :lol:

That was a great exchange between Harden & Nene on that basket.

Welp, tuned in just in time to see them go from being down 1 to taking a 7 point lead into the half.

Note to self: skip the first quarter from now on.

Mr. E's Halftime Thoughts -

What an impressive second quarter! This Rockets team has shown a lot of their flaws tonight; and that first quarter was entirely forgettable. I've mentioned it already, but it is nice to have Anderson around. I know that he is not on for every game; but the guy is a truly integral part of this team and they need him every game.

The Bulls are a weird team to me. At one moment they look like world-beaters; but then they look completely discombobulated.

The bench is showing up tonight, and the guys need that if they have any hope of advancing. I was legit scared with the possible injury to Nene and then damn near lost my mind when Harden could have been hurt. This is a deep team; but it is not a deep team, if that makes sense. They need everyone on the roster.

It is just so awesome that they've managed to build a roster that is so in-synch with one another.

This should be a fight from here on out; but I'm also thinking that Chicago could fracture a bit. Keep it up, Rockets!

GO ROCKETS!

That is the same attitude carried by those who have lower-bowl tickets in Toyota Center! :lol:

Dolly Parton has really huge....lips.

Yes, that's what I was going to say and totally what I was thinking.

Also, nice start to the third quarter, too.

I am officially re-naming Ryan Anderson.

He is the Spaceman.

The man creates space!

Hmmm...not bad, but if you made it Spaceboy in honor of Sir Bowie, it would be even cooler. But he is no boy, he is a man, so that won't do.

Spaceman it is.

Can I at least post the video for Hallo Spaceboy every time he hits a game winner?
