Well, we had all kinds of opportunities to REALLY blow this open to a 25+ point lead, but once again, I'm just looking for nits to pick. I don't know why I can't just feel confident with a 20 point lead after three quarters.

there's still plenty of questions about his defense. nobody can 'show they can play defense' in one game. that's asinine.


I’m sorry but when a 2nd year player can bother Klay Thompson (2nd best shooter ever?) and affect his game, that tells me that Ferguson is going to be able to play defense.

it can tell you whatever you want it to, it doesn't mean anything objectively.

Melo, the destroyer of teams, needs to go to GS.

Diallo has to have a lot of confidence after shedding Paul and getting to the rim.

The defense tonight....

WOW

Rockets sitting on 73 points with 3 minutes to go. This is amazing. The offense has been about what you'd expect without Russ, but our defense tonight has been out of this world.

That's I think a good win.

But my greatest joy is reading every Rockets site I can now find for the rest of the night.
