    Nic/Wes/Dame combined 3-12 from 3. That will improve in the 2nd half. This isn't over, folks.

    Hey, go figure...when they start playing better defense, the Rockets don't score as easily.

    Okay. 15 point lead... Houston can't sustain what they just did with a short bench... we have a good shot. #optimism

    LaMarcus having a good game. Nice ending half with a 7-0 run.

    They finished the half shooting 66.7% from the floor and 77% from three.

    It was our great defense at the end that brought it down to that level.

    Nice that we kept Houston under 73 in the half.

    I'm at Hooters, can't hear sound. Could someone give me a play by play of what they're saying about us?

    We're 5-13 from 3. They're 10-14 from 3. The difference in 3-point shooting--15 points.

    That's all it is. With as bad as everything looked, the ENTIRE difference is in the threes. I'm not as dejected as I could be.

    We've been a 2nd-half team all year. No reason it can't happen again tonight.

    Their scrubs are beating us right now man. What do you want?

    Casspi is 3/3 from deep. He's a 35% three point shooter this year.

    Beverly is 2/3 from deep. He's a 33% three point shooter this year.

    Motiejunas is 1/1 from deep. He's an 18% three point shooter this year.

    You don't understand that they're just shooting out of their minds right now?

    They'll pick it up defensively and make it a game. I think if they want to come home with a winning trip percentage they need this one. OkC will be gunning for them.

    Barkley started by talking about Dwight Howard

    Then said Houston won't live by shooting 3's
