If the Rockets play as hard as the Hawks played tonight they would be unbeatable. What an effort on their part!
If the Hawks play as hard as the Hawks played tonight, they might have more than 20 wins. But probably not, because they suck.
They played really well and the biggest reason they hung with the Rockets tonight is because of Trae Young's lights out shooting. He hit 8 3s. Collins got a great shooting night as well. Compared that with Harden's 0-10 night from the 3s are probably the reason the game was close. If harden hit 4 out of 10 3s, the game would have been a blow out
That was actually a pretty mediocre game for the rockets but glad we still got the w. We can only get better from here.
What we should really learn from this game is that James Harden needs to be tied down to his bed until his shoulder/neck or whatever is ailing him is healed. Something is still hindering him and we definitely do not need it to get worse.
Found the down low Hawks fan! Yup nice young team I'm sure they will learn from the L we dropped on them tonight.
Well.... Rockets played a weak 2ndQ, and Harden had a bad night. Other than that, Houston played pretty well, and the Hawks only hung in because of Young's crazy (4?) 4th quarter threes. Rockets had more FTs, similar rebounding (more offensive), more assists, more steals, similar blocks, less turnovers, same pts in the paint, more 2nd chance points, more fast break points, more points off turnovers, and less fouls. Had TY not hit a bunch of quick 35ft shots ala Curry then we probably would've won by 20 in expected form.
