    Man o man, I enjoyed watching them talk trash to each other, especially Dalembert. This shows that he was into it. We need more players in the rockets to be like this, it usually gets in the opponents heads. We have to many weak players thay are just too nice, it annoys me and makes the game boring to watch. Don't ya agree?

    This game was great, Im glad the Rockets pulled it out.

    Good win, won't mean much unless we make a trade. We will get smoked in the first round.

    Dalembert played awesome in the early season. Seems to have slowed, but still a solid center and well worth 7 Million.

    That nickname for a guy shooting 47% on the season. Interesting.

    Well he's like 27& from 3 but a brick is a brick. If you're a pg who shoots a lot but is shooting 47 percent it means he is taking better shots than most people give him credit for.

    Meanwhile our PG who everyone is very high on is shooting 40% form the field.

    I hope Dalembert is "into it" in a higher proportion of the games.

    40.4% eFG on non-layups.

    KD is 50%.
    Rose is 43.1%.
    Lowry is 44.4%.
    Paul is 52%.
    Rondo, who most consider to be the worst shooting PG, is at 37%.

    Nicknames come about for a reason.

    If westbrook went through durant, he would do do much more damage

    Yea, Sammy really got into it, good thing the Rockets pulled it out or he would've really regretted it.

    See what I did there?

    If westbrook played somewhere else he would be right up there with Rose.
    Him and Durants game just doesn't fit very well together IMO

    It sucks for westbrook that he gets all the blame when they lose. It was durant who "bricked" the game winning shotS. WB is up there with rose and does much of the same. Rose is slightly ahead because he can shoot a little better this year, but it is close. Westbrook was penetrating with ease against us and getting layups.

    If the guy can't even average 6 asts playing with the best pure scorer in the league, why would you expect him to do any better as the lead star on a team?

    Rose = carried a team missing its 3rd and 4th best players for significant chunks of the season to the best record in the league
    Westbrook = ices KD so he can chuck up more long jumpers

    Please don't compare these two

    5.5 assists and 4.3 turnovers per game is a pretty awesome ratio for a point guard.

    He has averaged 8 assist twice in his career.

    And lowry has 7 asts to 3 turnovers, which isn't very good either.

    His Assists/TO ratio puts him in the top 25 in the NBA.


    Westbrook is barely even top 70.

    So he's actually regressing this year in that department. That's encouraging. Meanwhile, his TOs have steadily risen every year in the league.

    What west"brick" lacks in assist/to ratio he makes up for with this thing called scoring.

    And? No one here is going out on a limb and saying Lowry is as good as DRose.
