...Tmac scores 3 or 4 baskets in a row and makes it look easy ...John Barry sinks the 3 on a fast break ...Bob Sura gets in there and grabs a rebound he shouldn't be getting ...Deke blocks a shot and follows with the finger ...Wesley completes the fast break ...Padgett sinks the 3 after getting the ball from Tmac ...Mike James nails a jumper ...Yao gets in rythm and starts hitting his jumpers ...Howard hits an open 15-17 jumper I find myself either shaking my head or just lauging a lot lately because these guys are playing so good! What do you love about this team?
That their winning? The Rockets rule. My favorite part is the respect they are now getting across the nation.
that through the good and the bad I have hope, I love the Houston Rockets, every Rocket, even Barkly, I love this team this year especially. I find myself having fun watching there basketball games, winning is easily appreciated. I have to give Van Gundy his dues, he did some good ****. Ultimately, I'm scared and excited to see if we can take from here to the next level. No matter what, I shall remain a rockets fan, even if they somehow traded everyone, including Yao, for a box of peanuts, but I'd probably give it some thought to consider changing teams.
ooh let me let me... I love it when Wesley pump fakes, takes a step laterally, then nails a pullup j 'Big Jon stud' comes up with a steal then perfectly executes the fast break T-Mac and James hit a 'cold-blooded' 3 deke gets an offensive re over 3 defenders yao hits the unstoppable baseline turnaround Juwan shows the footwork before flipping in a 5 footer the team builds a 10 point lead 5 minutes into the game... takes the edge off watching the game... heh
when scottie pippen dribbles the ball off his foot to give Utah the victory and then proceeds to blame everyone else.... good times...
when mcgrady makes impossible shots... when yao dunks on someone... when sura drives fearlessly into the lane and finishes.... when wesley gets hot and goes 8-10... when barry runs full speed ahead, spots up and drains a 3... when howard fakes three times and then sinks one from mid-range when mutombo blocks someone and the rockets run a fast break... when padgett makes 3 after 3 from a mcgrady feed
I love it when... I see the ball moving side to side with everyone touching the ball before finding the open man. I see the right guy (open guy) take the shot (shot selection is so much better this year) we get a steal or long rebound and execute a perfect fast break. I love that all our games are competitive and even when we lose we usually keep it close. I enjoy that we bring the ball up quickly and get into our sets without the shot clock about to expire. we break a full court press with ease by moving the ball to the open man (sounds easy doesnt it?) I love seeing Yao talking to the refs and even if it doesnt pay dividends this year it surely will the next. I love beating teams and not beating ourselves.. how many times have we said we beat ourselves this year? I think none. J
...when I hear the crowd "ooh" because of a pretty pass ...when Jon Barry fakes a pass and all the defenders rotate elsewhere ...when David Wesley comes around a screen and hits the mid-range jumper ...when Deke sets up for a hook shot and nobody is fooled but can't stop it ...when Yao takes a shot without dribbling or bringing the ball down ...when Yao Ming back-picks Mike James defender and McGrady finds James all alone underneath the basket. I love that play!
I love the turnaround. Especially with these trades, no one thought the Rockets had a chance. But they have proven to be an elite team because they PLAY like a team. Now everyone's kissing collective ass. It's freakin awesome.
i love it when they all get off the bench to stand up and cheer for a teammate when he makes a great play. like watching a college team.
I love when TMac or Yao is in a zone and you feel like there's no way we're not going to win multiple championships. I love how Barry doesn't miss when he has time to do that squatting thing. I love (but also kind of fear) watching Sura go hurtling into the third row. I love the gangly, chest-out, elbows-pointing way Mutombo runs down the court after he scores. And twins.
... and I can't belive nobody has mentioned this, T-Mac draws a foul on a three or gets a three point play off of a jumper. ... Yao gets his turnaround J going, it's a thing of beauty. ... Barry makes a bullet touch pass to somebody for an open shot. ... Deke swishes his hook shot. It's slow as heck, but it seems to always go in. ... Mike James gets on the break and goes from halfcourt to the rim in .5 secs. ... Bowen gives an absolute clinic on position defense. ... any of our pf's make open jumpers. ... Wesley scores 10 pts in the first quarter. ... Baker gets playing time, because he is our victory cigar.
I love seeing some offensive production this year. I love seeing the "screen and roll". I love not having to watch 48 minutes of ISO. I love the energy off the bench--I may be forgetting someone, but I don't remember this kind of energy off the bench since Sam Cassell would charge off the bench back in the 'days.
...Rockets are being talked about and written about so I can read at work! ....Vin Baker is always the first to jump on somebody after a good run ....Rockets are being written in Chinese cartoon scripts ....There are way less finger pointing and hate thread on the BBS
Iiiiiiii, Loooooooooove, Rockets on TVvvvvvvvvv, Mac's shots from the keeeeeeeeey, ... and twins! Iiiiiiiii, loooooooooove, Yao's turnaround shot, Deke's thunder blocks, Sura's playing alot, Powergirls' freaking butt, team's playing hot, Taylor's smoking pot, Baker's worth squat, Clutchfans' mods, ... and twins! .... I Loooove youuuu toooooooo!
