The Rockets always have problems in early games against these guys.

Oh well, GO ROCKETS!!!

Montrezl was fun for awhile but he's too raw to be getting so many minutes for this team

Harrell doesn't rebound and that's a problem.

Wow...we've seen it several times this year; but this is just a totally different Houston Rockets team.

Games like this when the team was down big I would just assume that was it. This year and this team - they just never seem out of it! It's rather impressive!

This Toronto team always seems like a team that just has Houston's number. If the Rockets can somehow pull this one off then it would seem like a pretty big deal to me.

Harrell is looking really confident tonight.

I do not want to go onto the T&T board tonight and see any trade proposals with him or Dekker, thank you very much.

Criticized Harrell for not rebounding earlier, but dude is really killing the paint tonight.

Fingers cross Harrell can figure out rebounding one day. His offense and defense are coming along

I don't think that I've ever seen Splash Gordon play as comfortably since he has been here in Houston.

Harden taking that charge!

But he doesn't play defense... - Sincerely, RealGM ;)

About time Ariza gets a technical foul. This is becoming a routine.

I forgot P-Pat was in the league...

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.

I ran into him a few years ago in Sugarland. He was super-cool and personable.
