WOW!!!! The Rockets win against a good team and still people are complaining.... They lose and you get 300 new threads on the team is tanking... They're 1-1 and played a very good game so can't we just enjoy the win and look forward to the next game. T_Man
Dalembert allows the zone defense to work, but I still don't think it's something to bank on, especially with Thabeet being the only other significant rim protector on the roster.
It could be better. Still convinced he aint no Center.....a PF yes.... We need a 10-10 double double monster hope Patrick is going to be there.
Someone brought this up earlier, but for me, the big thing with Martin was his poor body language and attitude in Orlando. I don't give a hoot about his shooting slump; he's a pure shooter, he'll get out of it. But I hated his attitude and the way he went about the game. With that said, it was better tonight. Hopefully he can put that whole trade thing behind him and just play ball.
I LOATHE having players play out of position. So I'm not going to judge Hill until he gets time at the 4, which is what he's suited for. Maybe he can play some 5 when the Rockets go small, but he's not playing the best position that allows him to be the most successful.
Was able to watch the game later in the night. I have to say that I don't like Flynn at all. Dribbles way too much and just doesn't know how to run the PG position efficiently. There is definitely a reason why he hasn't done anything in the league. Someone needs to tell him to play within the offense.
Woke up this morning to see that we had crushed the Spurs, first thing i checked was K-Mart's stat-line. Him and Lowry are the key to winning these early games while we work out the rest of the starting line-up.
I like hill as a PF but a center he ain't. I'd like to see dalembert start and hill back up Scola until 2pat is fully ready Also I think bud needs to come off the bench and be a spot up shooter for the 2nd unit. I like t-wills defense, and his passing was great as well.
No, he didn't. 5 fouls in 20 minutes is not good and he looked lost out there. When he has to make a decision with the ball that doesn't involve immediately shooting it (like on putbacks) it's a disaster. WE NEED YOU BACK, PATPAT!!!
I think the task at hand as a starter is too much to handle for Air Bud...... As a rookie and part of his sophomore year he was confident coming off the bench....looked good Hill will be fine...even as a part time Center.....
The starters are playing in sync, despite C-Bud being a near zero contributor in the first two games. Offensively, the bench is still a work-in-progress situation. Defensively, they were playing swarming defense when Dalembert was in to protect the paint. I am impressed with Parsons. He sure caught up quickly defensively. In one possession he was all over Bonner. The poor guy was so confused with Parsons' defense, that he threw a pass into the stands. lol. The bench has to continue playing this kind of D. Moreover, one of Scola or Martin needs to be kept playing with the reserves until better chemistry develops among the reserves. In sum, an outstanding effort by team. Proud to be a Rockets fan.
Great overall game by the Rockets. Sure, few blemishes here and there but you can't let that spoil how sweet it is to demolish the Spurs! Also; can somebody please upload that season intro video they used? I didn't get to see all of it.
