I guess I'm rooting for OKC too. I actually like GSW better, but I think it's pretty much a given OKC will be seeded ahead of us, while we'll be scrapping with GSW. Sooooooooo... they gotta lose. LOL.
A great win. I like the beautiful ball movements. Great team efforts. I especially like the efforts and intensity that JH put in defense at the start of the game. Now, he must do it every game!
Well, IMHO it's pretty clear we have the clear cut deepest pg position in the NBA, sporting not one, not two, but three starting caliber PGs lol. Major props to Brooks for signing with Houston and taking less money when he could've gone elsewhere, this game should've been a lot closer with Harden and Bev having horrible games if it weren't for Brooks and Parsons going nuts. Also, Dwight's transformation is amazing, I haven't seen a guy go from zero to hero in one summer since LBJ and Z-Bo. Dude was the biggest cheerleader off the court, and actually leading by example on it. Is this really the same guy who started the Dwightmare in Orlando and tried to have Kobe exiled in LA? The Dwight I know would've pouted and thrown a tantrum at only scoring 12 pts and 7 rebs, not do Mortal Kombat theatrics lol. Amazing stuff, I didn't really buy into the contenders hype this year...but I'm slowly starting to believe. Go Rox, whup them old-ass Spurs next game!
In the last three games at Toyota Center, Rockets scored 112 points against Minnesota, 113 points against Atlanta, and now 114 against Brooklyn...LOL Wonder if Rockets score 115 points next game at Toyota Center? Mmm...
Harden had a good game without having to score. Very good sign of a player that will go out and play and doesn't worry about the amount of points he gets and you see no one complaining about his defense or turnovers tonight... Brooks had a long road of getting his game back after that dirty play by Manu that injured him and threw his career off track.
Im going to temper my excitement until after the spurs game. tomorrow is the real test. Clippers didn't count because Rockets were still raw. Rockets have some games under their belt now, got some chemistry brewing. let see how they do against the best in the league.
it was a nice win for us, but lets be serious, these are the nets. it was a practice match before the spurs. it was a shooting practice match lol
