If someone has already posted a thread about this my bad. The last 2 games at the start of each game Bill and Matt have stated on the air that the Rockets have not won a jump ball all season. I pretty sure Scola won the jump against Nenad Krstic. The play-by-play of that game states the Rockets had the first possession.
Man,you're right,we got the very first possession that game and I just ran a check on the video. That's just a careless mistake I guess because Bill and Clyde were just talking about the new Rockets jersey that moment.
We have been saying this in chat for the last two games. Scola jumped and we won the tip against OKC. Because someone, I can't remember who... stated that it was impossible that we would lose the game, because how could we when we won the tip. Maybe we should email Bull.
If you're talking opening tip, maybe not, but we have won AT LEAST ONE jumpball. I personally witnessed one during the LA game last night.
that was me saying that there was no way the Rockets would lose since they won the opening tip AND Luis dunked in the game
No it was against Shannon Brown.. but same thing. Edit... note to self read full thread before responding!
Good call. I thought the same thing last night, but when I went to check play-by-play for each of our games on my phone it was taking forever so I gave up. Glad I wasn't just imagining things.
I think it was scola. And its one of those weird throw type of deal where both players missed it on the way up, and he got it while ball fell way back down.
