[NBATV] Postgame commentators absolutely raving about the Rockets

Holy ****!! For real?? Dude's getting 12 hours of sleep?!?!

What a life!!!

 

I think I recall him saying he can easily go for 15 and the more the better lol

Meanwhile I live on roughly 6 a night

 

I thought luc said that. Is eric super sleeping too?

I would get more sleep if not for rockets west coast games lol

 

I wake up most mornings after 5-6 hours of sleep, frantic because I just remembered I haven't been to history class in a month and a half and I'm not sure when the midterm is...then after about 30 seconds I realize I have been graduated for 2.5 years.

 

Hmm... is it luc? Now I’m questioning it and can’t recall. It may be luc and not Gordon.

I’m lost

 

Maybe you need more sleep breh lol

 

With 5:28 left on the clock in the first half, it was 41-37. Over the next 5 minute stretch, we scored 20 and held them to 9 points. That's scary production for a team on the receiving end. I've gotta think some teams feel helpless against us. It's like a tidal wave. You know it's coming and there's nowhere to go. You just kind of sit there and hope to survive.

 

Unfortunately, don't expect that situation go away anytime soon. Mine were actually dreams I was waking up to. However they only occurred 3 or 4 times a year. In addition to the college class situation, I had them about growing up on a farm & the job I retired from. I never mentioned it before, because I just thought it was weird me. Any shrinks around!?!

Back on subject, I heard Brent saying that about the Rockets & thought "Rockets praise! 'Bout time!"

 

It's the thought that matters.

I get lucky for 4-5 some nights

 

Same. 15 hours? Is someone Michael Jackson 'ing him?

 

Harden is playing at an MVP level- again- and the team has the second best record in the league and you're still whining and complaining. That's why you are catching hell. Don't be a turd in the punch bowl.

 

Westbrook winning MVP made me realize its a pointless award- Lebron is still the best player and we’re arguing over the definition of usage w**** and Harden- meanwhile Lebron James is still the best player in basketball. Go Rockets!!!!

 

Lol, sorry that I don't gloss over major issues in Hardens game. I give him plenty of credit, but I'm a realist. You are welcome to live in your bubble, just put us realists on ignore. I have been consistent on this for years. He CAN play good defense, just just typically doesn't.

And he's playing like an MVP on offense again (though his hustle on D has been much better this season). I draw a distinction between those who play well one side of the ball and those that can play on both. When Harden plays both, he is an MVP in my book. When he doesn't, he's not.

 

I have zero basis for thinking that Harden's lifestyle played a part in the decision to go with the new shoot around schedule?
I never claimed it to be anything other than speculation based on my observations of Harden and the organization over the years. He likes to party. We know he goes out late before big games, or at least has in the past. You might not consider this plausible, but I do, and it absolutely has a basis in fact. The fact that Harden likes to party.

Some of you also are getting offended that I'm stating the obvious about Harden's lifestyle. Without going back to look at what Sam said (7% battery and a slow phone), the critique in the original statement was on Harden's lifestyle. Which is sure to illicit some angry responses about "he can do whatever he wants on his own time, all that matters is what happens on the court." And I agree, but it's naive and ignorant to believe that excessive partying wouldn't affect his play. Hmm, I wonder if that's why I said I had a personal feeling that Harden's lifestyle played a roll.

I also don't see how mentioning the obvious benefits of a better sleep regimen is proof that they didn't consider Harden's lifestyle...if anything, it makes that more plausible. Either way, I'm not upset with Harden or the organization even if it was solely based on Harden's lifestyle.

 

I think Tmac used to sleep a lot before games too. NBA TV had one of those couch segments with a bunch of players a while back talking about things they did before games. Someone used to eat fast food I think. Ron Artest used to listen Celine Dion before games lol

 

A lot eat fast food. The younger athletes especially.

They all pretty much wake up, practice, nap, gametime, party or hotel hookup from Tinder. Rinse and repeat. Eat in there, too.

NBA Network and Radio show the Rockets proper respect. MLB Network and Radio did Astros the same.

Good to see ESPN having us #1 in the Power Rankings.

 

Yeah brah, cause zero evidence he does this and has done so at very crucial times. Get his bushy nuts of your mouth, and put the Rockets first.

I'm sure he's just speculating, but if you don't think that has a little to do with it you're blind.
