Been sneaking around long enough to wait for an easy game to pick up my free 2 points.

The team just lost road unbeaten record and about to drop another one:
Parker | Green | Leonard | Aldridge | Gasol

The team with 3rd ORtg, 2nd DRtg, and unbeaten in December:
Beverly | Harden | Ariza | Anderson | Nene

GO ROCKETS! :hoop: :hoop: :hoop:

Looking forward to this one! The Rockets are clearly on a roll coming into this game.

I'm not just talking about the 10 game win streak, but the season overall. There have been some real quality wins, and it is not like the NBA has done the Rockets any favors when it comes to scheduling.

It is so weird to think that after tonight theses teams will only face each other one more time this season. Same with the Mavericks. 3 of 4 games against two division foes will be in the books before Christmas.

Where is everybody?

They've been cold so far. Good to finally see some three-point shots go down!

Anybody else notice that James never gets calls attacking the basket anymore? Feels like 70% of his free throws come from beyond the three point line

7 point deficit when you shoot 15% from 3 isn't bad

Yeah, it's pretty great that they're in in with as poorly as they've shot the ball.

Pops has his guys executing the game plan well. But we saw how quickly Houston can get back in it if they actually hit some shots.

Anderson's problem was that his other threes up until that one were too close to the line.

Harden's court awareness is so underrated.

I don't mind if people aren't posting; but I really hope that they are watching.

That was an impressive quarter by the Rockets.

Nice run to finish the third quarter, good defense.

And doing it without Capela, too!
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.
