THat was an amazing display of 3 pt shooting. But we took it tough in the chin and prevailed.

I liked the defense to start the game, zone, man, Rondo calling the switch. It held the Rocket and we went on a spurt. I don't know why they abandoned that defense.

So the Rockets aren't even going to try down 8 with 30 seconds? Wow no heart


When you are the superior FT shooting team... you should always try.

Lucky for us... stupid the Rockets didn't foul LBJ or Rondo or Caruso

I prefer them winning this way then cruising.

They got smacked in the third and had to overcome them in the 4th, good work.

Concerning Frank's rotations, he's refining it. Dwight didn't play this game


Honestly I like Javale’s intensity and aggressiveness when he actually has it going for him but it just won’t work for this series against the Rockets.

Hell Dwight would be a little better but I don’t expect these two to play this series if we have a chance to move on

even with us winning this game, the senate should do an investigation of possible collusion between the rockets and the refs lol. If steroids were a problem in MLB, the wack way the rockets have devolved basketball should be an issue as well!

Wow, I don't think a lot of that was sustainable (other than the pace), but we scratched out the win. Attacking Westbrook when he got that fifth foul jumpstarted us in that fourth.

They normally don’t shoot 42% they are more of an 34/35% shooting team. They had more free throws too and we still beat them

The Rondo, DG, Morris, LBJ, AD lineup in the 4th was massive.

If Rondo can avoid taking the bait, and turn away those open 3s, he can be massive for us. The team seems so settled with him out there, and he knows how to find AD.

I didnt see much of the third but you beat the zone / make it unusable f youre hitting long range jumpers - and i see from the stats rockets were doing that.

Like I said

James and Davis are going to do what they are going to do......if we can just get one or two of these role players to just hit WIDE OPEN shots......they really dont stand a chance

And this is with them hitting a insane amount of 3 point shots......which is not a statistically dependable thing.......


This. But finding the hot guy is key. Will it be Morris next game? Waiters? Kuz? Who knows.

It’s always been inconsistent

Vogel called it. He said they get 3 hot then cool off, get 3 hot and cool off.

Nba pisses me off with having a team shooting most of their shots from beyond 3 get ticky tack foul calls in their favor but team going inside and being hammered rarely gets calls.

That happened tonight. Utter bs.

It just seems the strategy against the Rockets is to get the ball out of hardens hand and double team. And the rockets get a open 3 out of it and even if they making it, you just wait to they get cold

It seems you just can’t guard harden straight up because he has other ways to score besides the 3
