Bledsoe out of bounds off of the rebounds

I didn't like Blake taking that 3 at all. Should have gone for a quick two or something instead.

Hmmm I don't begrudge blake that 3 attempt at all. Better him than baron i guess lol...

[playaloc916]

They should've swung the ball around and maybe tried to get Butler the shot.

Clippers lose by 5. 97-92. Great game, I just love how the Clippers fought back, we almost had it. Blake's dumb foul kinda cost us the game.

Rockets win 97-92, our win streak is over. I'm happy that the guys fought back but we just came up short. I still have no idea why Vinny held out EJ, DJ, and Blake in the second quarter. There were some exciting moments.

We have the Suns up next, let's try to start a new streak.

[playaloc916]

Even though we lost, it was a good game. We definitely had a chance to extend our win streak to 4, but a couple of poor decisions (Del Negro...) really lost it for us.

97-92 Rockets win. Nice way for us to battle back a couple times. Earlier in the game the ball went out of bounds off of a Rocket leg. Blake pleaded his case to the ref and was given a technical. With possession, the Rockets made a 3. That's 4 points that shouldn't have happened. We lose by 5, but it just goes to show you how every possession counts. Could have been a different game.

Vinny's decisions ultimately cost us imo. Sure, EJ and Blake played the entire 2nd half, but it would have been much better to give them the minutes that they deserved in the 1st half. Going 24 straight is a risk due to fatigue. That decision really pushed me over the edge and took my head out of the game. Props to Blake and EJ for keeping it together, although I'm sure they were heated also. Nice debut for Diogu. He showed that he can be a solid play for us in the absence of Cook and Smith.

The guys all get a few days off before their next game on Sunday. Hopefully, they'll come back recharged from spending time with their family and will be ready to go.

How does Comes let Battier out work him like that. We need another scoring punch and to get some consistency from the sf spot.
