    Trap game. Need everyone to fight hard to win. Especially our bench.

    sigh... sometimes I wonder if its good to play Harden that much.

    Shoot, you never know, that flight/near death experience might have even cured Royce.

    yes, but they might be tired tonight too ... :)

    I think the Rockets should win tonight. But they have to take the Hornets seriously - this is a good team, very well coached, with some good players, and as others have said, their record really does not reflect how good they are.

    I don't know if this is true but apparently the Rockets are looking to add a big man before the deadline & are considering Amir Johnson or Brandon Bass. I just saw it on twitter.

    Dig a hole-Fill up the hole-Dig a hole-Bury them. We have to change this pattern.
    Here is the right pattern in future:
    Dig a hole-Bigger hole-Even bigger-Rookies bury them.
    Start from the first quarter, lets go Rockets!

    funny how some feel this might be a trap game

    before the season started we wouldn't even give this team a chance.

    Now are we expecting much more from this team after this impressive start???

    now are we being fair as fans to do so??

    That's gotta be false, neither of those guys makes the slightest sense for this team

    It's called the game of shifting expectations.

    Many fans were expecting a terrible season. The Rockets apparently didn't read the script so now the fans are writing a new script, but with crazy expectations. :grin:

    Actually, Amir Johnson wouldn't be terrible. He can rebound and has a decent jumper.

    There are worse short term options...

    IF they are moving that way, may I ask who you think are guys that should be moved to bring them on?

    that's a good thing.

    saves you from bill worrell's lame jokes and shameless unabashed biases and homerism.

    By page 15 someone will want to send Lin to the d-league.

    By page 18 someone will declare a Harden.
