    I saw a Capela, Faried, and Tucker lineup at one point.

    More of that please.

    I don’t wanna hear that the guys on this team “can’t shoot the ball into the ocean and get it wet”...we won this game by keeping players engaged in game and got in a rhythm!

    Harden need to come back and do what CP3 did tonight “playmake” drop “dimes” ...you can get yours anytime Beard!

    This was all about Chris Paul reminding the world how good he is when he needs to be.

    It's gives me a ton of confidence that when the playoffs come around, he still has another gear to go to. He's just coasting right now.

    The Rockets beat the Warriors twice on THEIR HOME COURT this year...yeah! Their game plan was aimed to hold Harden's scoring...the Warriors had no game plan for our other players. Well done Rockets.

    When a player hogging the ball too much, the role players definitely cant play much with much intensity. Ball movement get everyone involved suddenly everyone is alive again and don't play like a zombies waiting for the ball to throw at you. Of cos I think the players were very eager to win over those golden losers thus they played a notch higher.

    Beautiful win. Beautiful. The Rockets played hard, and played smart. Down the stretch they didn't panic and chuck up threes (except for that weird EGo one that probably should've been a foul).

    I got so used to watching Harden dominate that I forgot that the Rockets could play in this way too...a shitton of pick-and-rolls, and isos at the right time. Good gameplan by MDA too...he gets criticized a lot on here, and rightfully too sometimes, but he's a better coach than Kerr is in my onion. If he had the Warriors he'd probably have 4 Championships by now.

    The Rockets were a team of role-players tonight...and everyone stepped up and played their roles magnificently. I really enjoyed this game.
