You guys know Ben very well.

You can follow him on Twitter and blue sky as well at Ben Dubose and read all of this stuff on rockets, wire and clutch fans.

Anything you guys want to say before we wrap up?

Yes, that's right.

Absolutely.

Thanks everybody.

We'll see, we'll see you guys for the next game.

Take it easy.

Yeah, it just feels like, sorry to throw it back again to last year, but it feels like last year the Rockets just had two elite advantages.

Offensive rebounding, elite defense.

And now it seems like the Rockets don't have an advantage basically anywhere other than Kevin Rudd.

Having probably the best go-to scorer on every single game.

not every single, but most of the games, is probably the Rockets only edge at this point.

We're not getting that edge offensive rebounding, our defense is not nearly the same, and we're not a good offensive team either against most teams.

And what that leads to is just games like this game, where the Rockets should just completely out-talent the Miami Heat, but it just doesn't matter because at any point in the game, they are always at risk of being 10 points down.

There's just, there's very few teams in the league that the Rockets are just, just clearly being too big of an ask for, for those other teams, right?

It feels like every single team that plays the Rockets is in the game until the very end.

And when you play a lot of games like that, you're going to finish games like you did this time where you just can't buy a three.

And since you're not a good defense, that good of a defensive team, you can't string stops together.
