    I hope you slept well while I jumped up and down in front of my tv. This post sounds even softer than your first. The Warriors have NEVER EVER beaten us with Chris Paul, PJ Tucker or Luc Mbah a Moute.

    I still like your avatar, but the words to the right of it have been coming soft lately. Rockets > Warriors.

    Down 17 on the road multiple times. Still won. Houston Rockets basketball baby!!!

    Sorry to disappoint but I know basketball talent when I see it. Players 1-12 we lose overall. Last night was a good win , GSW was missing 2/5ths if their death line up but a win in a win. Had this win happened when they were full up and serious ( I sensed them letting off the gas a bit) I might retract this statement.

    I will say that we are closer to beating them than we were last season. I still don’t see it in a 7 game series (barring injury). I think we are still one big piece away. Not sure where we can go to get that piece.

    Amazing win. So hyped. But we need to play with more than 8 guys. Need to play with 9-10. Can't play with the injury Gods right now. Got to be careful. Damnit, Dantoni.

    I agree but Mike has been known for his tight rotations since his Phoenix days.

    What are you talking about? EGo and Ariza were lights out in the first half of last year. The dude brought it defensively and at the 3 line. He got worn down later into the season but he was our rock for a while.

    You went to bed. What do you know about the game? I prefer to listen to experts that didn't give up on my beloved Rockets. Especially ones that didn't concede the season 38 minutes into the season. WTF...

    I saw 80% and caught the highlights.

    To be fair....most knowledgeable basketball fans conceded this season back in July ( barring injuries of course)

    Also unsure if it was discussed but the fouls they called on Tucker, the snake pushed him down which then tripped the snake. The entire game could of been lost just on that play if he got the shot off in time..

    Harden (the leader) said it best.

    Oh, okay. Warriors still haven't won a game all year. Rockets have though and I think we may stack another win on top of that one tonight. We'll be 2 games in front of that northern california team soon enough.

    We currently have home court advantage throughout the playoffs. Warriors were already sent packing if playoffs started right now.

    You sound like a Warriors fan defending them like this. Why are you here? Don't you like the Rockets?

    I’m here because I’m a rockets fan. Wouldn’t have sat through the mediocrity treadmill if I wasn’t.

    Not defending the warriors just stating the facts. The playoffs do not start today. The warriors will be there and they are the overwhelming favorite at this point.

    I don’t see the need to discard logic in order to be a fan of this team. We are good and I think we will be the 2nd best team in the NBA. But I think we need one more big piece to beat GSW in April/May
