Yesssssss. I am the winner!!!!!!!!!

Let's kick some New Jersey Butt, we cannot lose games like these. But we better be careful that we secure what should be a relatively easy game.

If Hayes, and Battier do their jobs defensively, the Nets don't have much else to beat you offensively. Harris is struggling, but we've got to keep him from absolutely going off. Can't take them lightly otherwise we could be in for a surprise, especially on the road. I don't think they've beaten a Western Conference team yet, let's not be the first.

Ariza ninja'd himself to 7 points in the first quarter? Didn't notice that!

I'm really not happy with how the team looks tonight.

I'm not suggesting that because of their record that we should be blowing them out...but they just seem a bit off. This stretch of back to backs has worn on them.

Bench looked sluggish early but are picking up the pace now. This game should be a blowout in the Rockets favor.

Just can't pull away from these guys! Let's just hope that it's not time for the 2-Minute Chill to end the half.

I don't know how we scored as many points as we did. The game seemed so sluggish and lazy. It feels like it shoul have a score with both teams in the low 40s, not the 50s!

Before this game started I thought "I wouldn't be surprised if we lose this game - it'd be just like the Rockets to lose to the worst team in the league." Then I thought "No, that's the old Rockets - this new team is too hard-working and intelligent to let something like that happen". Guess we haven't changed...

EDIT: Looks like we will end up winning. I'm still extremely disappointed by the Rockets performance
