Dragic will getting going once he gets a couple of good practices in like after tomorrow's game. 4 games in 5 nights no time to practice. Let's see how he does this Saturday. Tomorrow's game is winable but it is the dreaded trap game.
San Antonio better watch out. I don't even want the 5 or 6 seed now. Let's aim for 7 or 8, whichever San Antonio ends up at (with Tony Parker out it looks like Dallas might overtake them which means I'd be gunning for 7).
PS: Clutch should change peoples rep thing to Kyle Lowry- becoming dangerously good instead of AB. But who knows it might be a jinx lol.
Guys enough b****ing about T-Will's minutes, we all know he has got the talent to be a star in this league but unless he stops playing like Hasheem Thabeet he won't get minutes, T-Will needs to drive and get his team mates involved instead of pretending he is a shooter. Kinda sucks that we have Thabeet too .
TWill's solitary assist was a bail out. He drove along the baseline into a crowd and had no other option but to kick it out. Luckily someone was there behind him to kick it out to.
YEP. I truly believe this team can beat the Spurs in a series. We've only been a half step behind them the last times we played, I think we are seeing chemistry for the first time this season.:grin:

Great team defense on Aldridge. It was key forcing him to pass out the double team which was being attacked by all the rockets, making the Blazers live or die by the perimeter shot. Lowry showing patience down the stretch gutting the D for a killer layup or an assist for a 3 point shot. This is what the Rockets are known for; Team Basketball is the heart of a winner.
I wonder what Brooks and Battier are thinking as I'm sure they've been watching these past few games. Battier: "I taught them well. The student >> teacher" Brooks: "I'm glad I decided to bring my talents to Pheonix, so that the Rockets' playoff hopes are rekindled."
In my opinion, Rick Adelman out-coached Nate McMillan tonight. The Rockets were better prepared, they executed their game plan, and they adjusted that plan properly based on what the Trailblazers gave them. It's easy to rag on the coach when so much of what he does goes unnoticed.
I don't care who gets however many minutes... as long as the Rockets keep winning, I'm a happy camper. Great game tonight, the team came out and played with an unbelievable amount of confidence and the Blazers pretty much didn't stand a chance from the start. I loved the way the Blazers announcers were basically saying "**** Lowry's coming back in" every time Dragic picked up a foul.
accountability. we just had too many good players before. its like our team now knows who they are. --- and is it just me or are we playing faster. that ball moves.
How can you not like Thabeet? The guy is a great cheerleader! And what happen to Patty Mills? He's fallen off dramatically....
Yep, that zone D that McMillan tried was questionable to say the least. Do they not practice it or something?
Youth has been served!!!! It's a beautiful thing to watch every player on the court move the basketball. Once Dragic gets a couple of practices in and learns the offense I think the bench could be explosive with Courtney and TWill on the wings. And if that happens there's no telling how good this team can become by the end of the season. GO ROCKETS!
Just so happy that we won two games in a row that were just so tough. Now, WE BETTER NOT LOSE TOMORROW. Normally, I would expected them to come lazy, but they won't... they are on a roll... they have a goal in mind... they are going to rape tomorrow night.
