First of all, I would like to say, Go jAZZ! Second of all, I would like to say, that damn, you guys talk some **** out there on the floor. I mean, Mobley is going off with Kobe, although he should not of taken that three against Kobe and made the pass, but needless to say, I like cat. That Brown kid is also pretty good. Ok, so Griffin is tight as hell. The kid has some sick passes and rebounding abilities. That is what a great rookie is all about. Man, you guys should be real happy with his progress. So let me ask you all something. Why is Rudy playing so many of the rookies? Is it because he basically has nothing to lose and is just trying out different rotations? Great game so far.... Later.
This is amazing to me that a bunch of people view this post, but no one wants to reply.... Are you not used to complimentary posts from fans from other teams?
Yeah, I know...but none started by another fan from another team...Hey, if you guys just want strictly Rockets fans here....well, I guess I am cool with that. **** that god damn Derek Fisher.
Why do we play so many of the Rookies you ask? Well there is simply nobody else to play. In the game you are getting to watch on TNT right now, we are without Francis, Taylor, Rice and now KT. So instead of our normal starters: C: Cato/Willis PF: Taylor SF: Rice SG: Mobley PG: Francis Bench: KT, Torres, Griffin, Walt, TMo, Mooch, Willis/Cato, Tierre, Langhi, Collier ...we are now using: C: Cato/Willis PF: Griffin SF: Torres SG: Mobley PG: Mooch This leaves our bench as: Walt, TMo, Willis/Cato, Tierre, Langhi and Collier (Langhi and Collier never play anyways) So our bench currently being used is just 4 players deep. Plus our Rookies are doing well anyways, especially Torres and Griffin. TMo has looked nice recently, and I would be all for starting Tierre over Mooch.
It's a result of missing the star PG that plays 40 MPG, the starting SF that plays 30 MPG, the original starting PF that plays 30 MPG, and the 2nd string PF that was forced to start and play 30 MPG. There's no one else to play those minutes.
Just be patient. The board is always pretty dead during Rockets games. It should start picking up again now.
Wow! I had no idea you guys had so many players that were injured... As a fan that must be frustrating as hell. Damn. Well, if it's solace, Griffin and Torres are talked about on the board I am on. Torres seems to really be coming along and I knew since the Rocky Mountain Review that Griffin was going to be a great player.
My first look at a rocket game this year too. And man Giffin played terrific! He got 10 of the first 11 points. He blocked Shaq then Kobe! Man that was the best! It seemed like he tipped or touched every rebound that came his way. I don't know why some people are disappointed in him, it's not like we drafted him to be a contributer this year. That stupid ESPN, makes me mad. It's also the first time I've seen Brown play and wow he's really quick, great driver but alittle out of control, but really quick though it's like he's in turbo mode all game.
If you can give a game ball during a losing cause, give it to Griffin for his hustle and his perimeter shooting.
I sure hope Griffin gave us a preview for what's to come in the future cuz man he looked good tonight. So did Brown. All these injuries are giving these guys chances to play which is good. Cuz they will be better once the big guys return therefore creating a good team.
