    Big win. Did what we had to do to not let this one slip away.

    Last year, that same 3rd-quarter collapse would have led to a 20-point loss.

    Isn't DMo actually a decent post defender?
    One situation where having Nene saved us and makes me nervous with his injury history and all.

    Like to look at the positive. MDA drew up a play to give Gordon a wide open 3. In past years, this would likely be a Harden iso. In a close game down to a few possessions, MDA plays out of TO matters.

    One thing I noticed is that Lopez has 3-4 inches on Nene. Either Nene aint 6'11 or Lopez is the realm of 7'3 ish..

    That play to free Gordon for the game-trying 3 was brilliant. McHale never drew up plays like that.

    Rockets have somewhat earned a subpar win like tonight.. no biggie.

    Let's keep winning against these scrubs and come back extra hard next real competition.

    Winning a game like this is a sign of being the real deal. Stinker happens in this league once a while. For sure, we will lose to teams that we are supposed to beat in the rest of this season, but a good team KNOWS how to pull one out when it matters.

    Giving up 75 points in a half is usually a good way to lose

    Eric freakin Gordon man. Dude is on FIYAH!!

    Last 8 games, 39 3-pointers made on 71 attempts for 55% 3PT%. Making no less than 3 Treys a night. Doing no worse than 44% 3pt% during that stretch.

    Almost 5 Treys per game average man. 55%! Keep it going E.GO!!

    McHale didn't draw up plays.

    Sure he did, we just usually ignored it or erased whatever he drew up and came up with a new play. It was basically "Guy's, let's do this" and the Rockets group "Nah, let's not."
