    Our defense was horrible this game as the Nets seem to easily score every time.
    They also need to start practicing their free throws more.
    I really felt the Rockets would've given this game away...

    Last year we would have. This year we are able to win in spite of being playing terribly.

    Didn't catch the game (final exams) but looking at the box score; a little worrying we needed Harden to play 39 to edge put the freakin' nets. That said, nice to see the streak keep going.

    A wise man once told dude that its sometimes better to be lucky than good. Then again, he may have just been super high. Don't really remember.

    They came ready to play but the Rockets didn't respect them very much, either.

    This team is incredible!

    Love the guys up and down the roster, especially harden, ariza, Gordon, capela and the coach. Man was i totally wrong to be skeptical of MDA this summer.

    We got lucky, some great defense by Ariza & Nene to save our asses. We cannot afford another stinker like this. Elite teams work hard and play defense regardless of shots, my guess is these guys took the Nets lightly and let's just hope they aren't thinking shooting will save them every time. That being said, give Gordon some more shots man! This guy is just lights out, he should shoot all those threes Harden takes.
