    Yeah, I'm pretty sure he meant scoring 30 on his 1st start, but I get the sarcasm.

    That female ref was horrible all night. Even worse then Voilet Palmer the other female ref who allways hated the Rockets.

    Yeah, I was actually at those games. The 53-16-17. I forgot. But as we talk about later in this thread it was for NYE. Pretty sure Les requested it after they failed to give him his usual NYE game. And the Feb 2nd one might also be due to scheduling change for Yao's retirement ceremony.

    These aren't normal. Only other time due to compressed schedules of the lockout year, which every team experienced.

    I don't know of Morey is willing offer Fredette more than his current salary overseas. He's like the star of his team isn't he?

    Starting in the NBA is no joke. I'm not sure what HeyP was saying or you. The dude started in an NBA game... THEN went for 30 while James 'El Chapo destined for the hall of fame' Harden went for 29. You cannot tell me that's not dream worthy. That 30 points alone is dream worthy for most NBA players.

    Name me all the players that went for 30 in their first NBA start. Seriously. This is pretty unbelievable.

    (Wilt scored 43, Iverson 30, Isaiah Thomas 31, Odom 30... I mean, he didn't start his first game he played but he's starting like the 45th he was eligible for and scored 30. Not many have impressed this way. James Harden scored 12 in his first start.

    Yeah right. Sam just needs to work on staying ahead of Sewer in the rotation.

    Brewer does his homework well and has a good PI on hand. He finds out who his next coach is and gets his PI to do some digging to grab some dirt on the coach so he can blackmail them into playing him.

    You are correct, outside the lockout season, the last time I remembered was a B2B home games in the preseason 2010-2011 before they played the Nets in China, had to dig deep in the Wayback Machine site for proof

    https://web.archive.org/web/20101011114149/http://www.nba.com/media/rockets/201011Schedule.pdf

    outside of that, it's RARE to have B2B home games outside of lockout seasons, this is the only season I've experienced it past 11 years as STH

    Hitting the open 3
    That is the difference between Winning and Losing
    We hit 35% of our Threes and I think we win
    (Check the numbers - I think the Three point percentages are probably the biggest indicator of if we won or lost.)
