Why was Barry out for tonight's game? It's seems odd that he's missed both games against the Spurs already..Covert Ops Barry
This game shows the character of this team. After a tough loss to the Pacers, the Rockets come back home and respond in the opening minutes of tonight's game, building up a big double-digit lead. We nearly lose the lead before halftime though and we start to see flashbacks of previous game collapses. But the Rockets respond once again after halftime, plays 24 great minutes of basketball, and come out with the 19 point victory.
Man. I've been waiting all season long for a blowout game, one where we don't take our foot off the pedal. Having it come against the Spurs is sweet, it could only have been topped by having it done to the Mavs or the j*zz.
Nice win. Team is deeeeep. I like Luther too, even though I always bag on his boneheaded passes, he seems like a nice guy and a true professional. I guess its Wafer's turn to warm Luther's seat.
yao was decent. i loved his defensive effort tonight, but the offense really only flowed through him well for stretches of the 3rd. other than that, others really stepped up. we can't look to our stars every possession and they did that. the energy the team came out with was amazing. they need to do that every night.
Props to RA for good adjustments: 1. gave up on Barry and brought back Head, 2. used Yao as a central axis for ball movement.
Honestly, even though we had a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter...I was still sitting on the edge of my seat thinking about that blown 14pt or so lead in San Antonio...
Actually, RA did a good job. But he had no choice but to make the right choice lol cos Barry was injured. Go Luther!
Yao played smartly tonight with decent defense and proper pass. Dogfight with the opponent big ones leads to 1 rebound and i don't care about the statistics. Once the best center be the axes of ROX, a sure win comes imho.
Great game for Luther, happy for him. But we all know that he will disappear next game or he playoffs. That's who he is. Happy to see him produce tonight though.

man we need to get clutch to start a couple of standard sticky threads for post game analysis. sticky thread for every win where we can rant about how amazing the team is and adelman is and how we should trade whoever happened to not play at all or well during the game. then another sticky for every loss where we can hit the big red panic button and go on and on about how we need to blow up the team and fire adelman. yes we have been a bit inconsistent but overall we are in a good place. thats all i got.
