I went into the year thinking WC semis or better. I think that is where this team is right now, but could see them competing, and beating anyone. Need to lock up the D a little bit, but when they get this Howard/Asik thing figured out, they can figure out lineups and get the D tightened up hopefully

Seriously.. if the Rockets didn't give up that ridiculous 3 pointer to Steve Blake to end the game or that ridiculous 3 to James Anderson to send it into overtime, the Rockets could easily be 14-3 right now.

Even with the Twin Tower experiment / Asik not playing debacle.

Team is playing good now.



Don't forget the 4th Quarter collapse against Dallas with a double digit lead.

Bingo. That's why I said three choke jobs. If the Heat had looked this good from the start, the Heat Index would have been through the roof.

ESPN would be shitting their pants. I really haven't heard even a peep about the Rockets. Anti-Dwight protest? They can only ignore the Rockets for so long. Same for CSN. The more the Rockets win, the more I hope those dicks realize their terrible mistake.

If the Rockets keep this level of play going, the attention will come.


Anyway, this was a perfect way to start off the back to back. SA, here we come.

I better hear some fricking Rockets talk on sports radio this upcoming week….especially if we beat the Spurs. People need to forget the stupid arse Texans.

Agreed. The Texans are a dumpster fire, and the right thing to do at this point is tank.

No other teams are within a point of the last place team on this list.

Don't think Rockets are a better team than the Spurs win or lose, but it should be a good benchmark game for the Rockets. Good luck to our fellow division/in-state rival.

12-5 with a 4 game win streak after the breakdown vs Dallas. Big game tonight vs SA.

So far, so good. Rockets lead by 13 early in the second quarter.

ETA: 20-point Rockets lead with 4:39 left in the first half.


ETA2: Parker decided to take this game over and the Spurs went on a big run. The Rockets still lead by 11 at the half.

11 point lead at the half. Hopefully we can take care of business in the 2nd half. This would be a huge win for us.

That third quarter wasn't a lot of fun, but the Rockets still have a 3-point lead. It's time to finish strong.
