Terrence Jones, man I hope he gets healthy, it's obvious he's injured out there, just hasn't been the same player since coming back from the rib injuries. Hopefully he can tough it out.
The Rockets have a very good chance of winning tonight's game, tbh. It's very difficult to sweep a home and home when the second game of a one and one is on the road. Spurs are still going to be without Splitter and probably Belinelli although, the latter of the two is probably going to help the Spurs out more because Beli is one of the league's worst wing defenders. Spurs are actually a slight favorite but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rockets cover. Rockets need this game more than the Spurs.
I wonder why we can't ever get a year where we have one injury to some 11th man on the bench. We are always riddled by injuries.
Already a tough morning with the cocky Spurs fans here at work in RGV. Been told by them to expect another beat down by the Spurs. Man I really hope the Rockets can pull this game out it will a great Monday IF they do. The team must be ready to take this game from the start and not let up.
After last game my phone lit up with fake Spurs fans talking ****. Rockets - I have them on speed dail!
I'm driving through San Antonio this afternoon for a turkey hunt in Junction Tx, I'll be sure to blast vulgarity at any and all Spurs fans that I encounter. This is a must win for the Rockets and I have full faith that harden will dump 40+ and we will win by at least 5! A MUST WIN!!! GO ROCKETS!!!
This game will come down to T Jones, J Terry, and C Brew being productive. If those 3 guys can do SOMETHING we will win (with James and Howard doing their usual). Last game, those 3 guys were absent in a very big way. A BIG NEGATIVE for the team.
He was one of the refs in that infamous Memphis loss. I wonder if he's been assigned to make up for that debacle. Ken Mauer recently reffed the Rockets game at OKC and they won that one.
Karl Lane, in addition to the Memphis game, also reffed the Chicago game where the Rockets were awarded 5 free throw attempts for the whole game, which has only happened three times this year for all teams. Two of those three were Houston, both losses, both reffed by Karl Lane.
IF we lose tonight, it's time to get Harden and Ariza some rest. We would be the 6th seed with verly little chance of moving up.
Yeah, that's right. Well, we'll know for sure if he's got it in for the Rockets if they don't get to the foul line. Especially given Pop's propensity for the "Hack-a" strategery. Although I actually wouldn't mind if he swallowed the whistle when Dorsey's in the game.
This explains his extremely anemic performance in the last game. Another big blow for us. Hope he will recover soon.
We should start KJ McDaniels at the two and let Harden run point, on defense KJ would hold Parker, Ariza on Leonard and James on Green since he's one dimensional. I think if we use this line up and Jones plays the way he usually plays we win by 10. Howard looked incredible so I'm not worried about him, if they control Parker they win the game
If the players care enough, they will do something about it, no way I would let a referee screw me over. I would seriously charge a referee and throw his ass to the ground.
I don't think a lengthy suspension is the answer. Just get a technical(preferably McHale should get one) so he knows he's been called out.
