    Hollins is such a Reed-hater. In his post-game commentary, he mentions how Reed kept his man in front of him and I didn't hear anything else. What a joke. What about his 6 assists, his three steals and the clutch jumper when the Lakers cut our lead to 3 points and THEN the steal and dunk, or his 12 points. But that's what he mentions. WHAT A JOKE! A lot of other people have flaws on the Rocket's but I've never heard him point them out like that.

    Great win. Lots of clutch 3 point shooting early. Defense carried the day. Amen has to play more aggressively on offense for us to pull this out. He definitely was feeling the pressure this game. He and Jabari played great defensively as did Tari. We may not be a better team without KD, but this young team grows without him and that is more important the next couple of years than winning regular season games.

    I’m gonna be dead at work tomorrow, but totally worth it.

    There’s just nothing like beating the lakers in LA. Leflop and reaves tried their best but thankfully the refs didn’t take most of the bait.

    Friday will be explosive.

    i thought the problem was he forced too many bad shots

    He rarely seems to be driving and kicking out lately

    Refs were probably told not to interfere this game. The Lakers/Rockets series is the most watched. They want it to go 7. That’s when the refs will get their marching papers. LA is still a big time TV draw.

    I don’t agree. He tried to force in the second half, but he couldn’t wait to get rid of the ball the first half. He needs to get down hill as much as possible even if he turns it over a bit. Those 3 pointers are going to get harder to hit as the series goes on if you don’t put pressure on the rim. Sengun needs to set up in the free throw circle. The farther the Lakers push that pick and roll out towards the half court line the worse it flows. Reed is waiting too long to get the play started. I predict the Lakers are going to really try to punch us in the nose in the first quarter next game. We’ve got to beat them to the punch.
