    Best post in the thread. If Houston can get Tyson Chandler,it will help our team defense further going into the playoffs.

    We went from 5th to 6th or 7th after some extremely hot shooting by the Pelicans and Trailblazers. They gave us their best shot as if we're the reigning champion. Better yet they were trying their best to end our winning streak. But guess what? When it counted the most our defense rose to the challenge in the 4th and helped bring home the victories.

    The Spurs just lost to Dallas who I mind you are not a good defensive team. They held them to 89 points.

    Yall act as if these other teams doesn't have wrinkles in their armor as well.

    You have to fight fire with fire right? These teams have looked at plenty of tape on the Rockets, Warriors, and Cavaliers. So they know they have to try and beat them at their game. They know their standard offense can not keep up with ours.

    It doesn't matter what their problems are. We have the potential to get better, and must strive to do so.

    Yeah, I agree. When Rondo is hitting three's, you know something is up. About 75% of their made three's were contested. Ok, I'm reading your quote from someone named "BobbytheGreat" and you call my posts absurd. There is no way in hell someone posted that! If they did, they need a morality check!

    He's actually been pretty efficient and decent defensively. He's def on the decline but Suns are +8 defensively when he takes the court. Not bad.

    I can't believe you guys are defending the Rockets after watching the past 2 games. There has been countless lazy defensive series, poor interior defense, and poor perimeter defense in this past 2 games. Sometimes its poor tech, not enough WANT to play defense, and just lapses!

    Rockets need to be criticized for that. I dont think they are a fluky defensive team, just that they need to get back to it and get it together.

    Best record in the league and we're complaining?

    This is the NBA... can’t expect to win every game in blowout fashion... Credit the coaching staff to go small and the players for turning it on in the fourth, which is a great sign. If anything we should be praising the resilience this team has shown...

    Some people needs something, anything to complain about. They act like there is a team with no flaws. We are not going to win every game in a blowout fashion. We will have some down to the wire finishes. We lose a few games along the way. Some of them will be blowouts.

    Yes. Most of them were fairly well defended too. They were just hitting everything.
