Haven't done this in a while! Longest I've watched the team here recently. Good to see that a lot of the same things are happening, namely the infuriating inconsistency.

I don't know what they need to do in the second other than keep scoring and avoid dry spells. It doesn't look like either team plans on playing much defense tonight.

By the way - has everyone seen the new Rockets intro video for home games? It's a super hero theme and it is pretty cool! I'll try to find a video for it.


GO ROCKETS!

Goran seems to be horribly misused in Phoenix, he never gets the ball

That is the thing that I'm worrying about as well.
Anyone who has the ball in his hand most time should make other players better sorrounding him regardless how great the scorer he might be.
Either Harden steps up(understand) his game and start distributing the ball well enough to get others involved or he needs to let future pure PG to do his(Dragic! :nod:)thing to go on to the next level for this team.

it's up to mchale to make harden play off ball if rox can get goran. otherwise, no reason to trade for goran. he will walk this summer if he has to play just like he is playing in phoenix.

Anyone else think Tucker tripped up James on purpose? Maybe Hornacek told him to "sweep the leg"

I can buy that Tucker may have been trying to disrupt Harden's shot, but in no way do I think that he was deliberately trying to harm him on that play.

You can see Tucker move his foot at the last second. You're just defending him cuz he's a Longhorn :wink:
