Awesome defensive effort. Forced alot of turnovers and turned 'em in to points on the other end. Lowry had a heck of a game!
Lowry seems to elevated his game since deadline. Who knows, maybe there's less distraction now. I maybe reaching. Somebody tell Martin to do more radio shows! He delivered the message clearly.
what a great win, Good D, bud was commited on D tonight, still missed some rotations but much better. Lowry was awesome. Twill looked loss in the offense without the ball. Kmart was good at feeding Scola in the post. CLee was great off the bench-hit some key 3's Dragic needs some work Patterson was great - good energy and his D on LA was awesome. CHUCK IS STILL THE MAN
Yea, Our starters played heavy minutes and we still have a game on Wednesday against the Clippers. But good game though~
I heart KL. Props to Scola and PPat for playing through some minor injuries. Hayes good as usual; missed him in the previous Portland games. CLee/Bud played well too. Lots of praise to go around!
Fantastic: Kyle Lowry Kyle Lowry Not Aaron Brooks Bud, Lee, 2Pat Troubling: J. Hill is not getting any burn. Jordan Hill's play time got eaten up by a first year rookie..... Brad Miller. Meh. Goran Dragic, 4 fouls in 6 minutes. Still learning our offense I guess. Rick the Ruler not trusting TWill and Thabeet up 10+ in garbage time.
Cool, very cool, but: Why Patterson did not play in the 2nd half? Why Adelman didn't sit the starters before? 37 seconds?? You can not be so so so conservative. Where are the assistants? Manage your roster, damn.
The best "team" defense I've seen in a year and a half. WOW. Chase and Martin are making me eat my criticism about them. Terrence Williams needs to take the ball to the hole more. I wish Jordan Hill had the heart of Patterson.
Twill didn't get to come in with the bench with 37 secs left on the clock. Has Adelman shortened the rotation again?
true, but 3 of those 4 fouls were really bad calls I think.... especially the one where the Blazer defender had his hand/arm on his side as Dragic drove in and Goran waived his arm off while pushing forward. 3 weak fouls, BUT that gave more room of Lowry to rock. He doesnt strike me as a poor ball-handler, just not a smooth one. He has that herky-jerky Ginobili-esque thing goin where he seems to be stuttering around but always has the ball with him. He'll be a fine backup im sure.
Haven't seen this type of intensity from the Rockets in a couple years. Hopefully we keep it rolling and get above .500 for the first time this season!! These past few games have been so fun to watch its almost as if basketball season just started. Love it!!
If Twill will stop doing stupid things on the court then Im sure he'd see more time. I swear, everytime he touched the ball he either almost or did turn it over, or took a bad shot.
