Enthusiasm is contagious. We come out as excited fans every night and support this team and hopefully it'll spread to our guys on Wednesday. For anyone going to the game remember that our Rockets are fueled by us a lot of times and they continue their rolls and they execute come backs typically when fans are going crazy and that kind of energy rubs off on the players.
That was different. The Rockets came out kicking ass and taking names, and then suddenly collapsed for the 2nd time in a row. Tonight we came out like it was a pre-season game. Different scenarios. Either way both things are in the past. We need to move on.
Clips won 1 game. This isn't a theorical world. Just because a team wins without a player doesn't mean they're guaranteed to win when that player returns. It isn't some video game concept, homie
all I know is there's no way we play that poorly again next game. All you doomsday downers put your gear on craigslist at a discount, me I'm gonna watch them win. Paul or no Paul. This was rust, if you ask me.
What? Rockets lost by 22 in the first game and gave up 43 point in the second quater that game. Kicking ass and taking names?
Choke City is what came to mind after this game. Unfortunately we don't have those same warrior type players like Vernon, Mario, Sam, and Dream.
dude you got your history messed up. The CHOKE CITY label was for the 94 team, not the 95 team They lost to Phoenix by 4 in the first game and lost by 7 in overtime in game 2. Both with huge leads.
Rust doesn't happen in 5 days. We said the Rockets would have better effort and defense after we lost game 4 to Dallas. It was the same Rockets - lazy telegraphed passes, poor transition defense, rushed shots. I have no reason to believe they will turn things around for good.
Yes you are right and the were in worst shape that this Houston Rockets 1 2 PHO 17 20 HOU 27 18 1 2 LAC 19 27 HOU 25 25 So the "Rockets came out kicking ass and taking names" is false or the same as Houston they came out playing well then Collapse and outscore every single round after the first quarter. If Houston wins the next game the series will change momentum and CP3 hamstring is a question mark the entire series and the more they play the more that bench will be a factor.
the 94 Rockets team lost game 1 vs Kevin Johnson this team lost to a team without a PG, JJ Redick is a 2 who can't pass. Game 2 is must win before Chris Paul comes back. It is an absolute must.
Yes just like the Mavs 4 game, he Rockets half ass game thinking the series was over and that they can take a day off, let the other team get confidence and started to draining shoots and playing on adrenaline. If Houston comes the same way they did game 5 all those 3 pointers by Barnes and Rivers wont be falling like that.
Rockets do not have the toughness, focus, MVP and coaching to overcome a choke job. Sorry, nothing like the 93-94 team.
