What a freaking first half.
Now I hope the Mavs close it out. If they come out with a haymaker in the 3rd that resembles anything like they did in the first I think the Rockets will coil over and give up.

Last 4-5 minutes of the half Bad Luka came out. Playing to draw fouls rather than score, then complaining. As a result he took 2-3 hero ball threes to try and punish them with show off moves. Luckily we still managed to maintain a 17 point lead through that stretch.

Who would have thought we would be one half away from first place in our division after 16 games. This offense looks scary. They need to finish them off in the 3rd. THJ is killing it 3 games in a row as a starter. I'm still not sold, but he has my attention...lol

Great game so far - but Luka and Dorian with 3 fouls, Dwight and Kristaps with 2. Hope they can stay out of foul trouble which will be hard against Harden. A pity Luka got his third foul while trying to hang a fourth an Harden.

I truly believe Luka set RC straight after the last New York loss. His minutes and the rotations have been much better since. We've had great success since that night. There were reports of extended closed locker room that night.

Yeah Luka needs to just keep playing his game and not try to do Harden things.
Lets show them there's other ways to win a game like getting points from the bench!

Yeah, until bad THJ shows up. Gotta figure it's coming.

KP looks great when he avoids those weird weak postups that he lived on with the Knicks

Houston just got deducted a point as a 3 by tucker was ruled a 2.

Strong 3rd, please.
Houston will look to get a run here

They failed to do it against the bench in the 2nd with their starters.

Don't know if too many people are watching or what but it's been f'n impossible to find a stable free stream today. All buffering to hell and back

Now Westbrick getting the royal treatment from the refs.

The refs bail out the Rockets so much. What a bad call against KP

We don't need those plays much he's basically converting them at an career low-rate right now. He can only get better there which gives tons of hope actually.
If he gets back to being decent there again then we suddenly have another crunch time option if we need a bucket with few seconds on the clock.
