[Ball Don't Lie] Behind the Boxscore: Rockets vs. Hornets

Kelly D rules.

 

Wow... Nice read!

 

Guys from the sports media are always surprised by the Rockets because they havent done much in the playoff, and start their seasons slowly in the last few years.

But they usually end up where we expected they would.... if you dont count all the injuries and drama

 

good find

 

nice, good one

 

thats all and fine......except that KD has been following the Rockets for a while being that he has been a member here for years.

When it comes to Rockets, Dwyer knows more about them than most of the normal sports media.

 

Spurs fans behind my row on Saturday night was yelling

"ball don't lie"

after every San Antonio bucket...

 

I thought Kelly was a girl.

 

We win wtih defense. We always have.

When the refs allow some contact and they don't take over the game with ticky tack fouls, I always like the rockets chances. We are easily one of the most physical teams in the league. We have size with Yao and Scola. We bring in some bigs off the bench who contribute. We have two elite wing defenders in Ron and Shane, and Lowry brings toughness to our back court.

Oops didnt know that.

I thought he was another one of those bloggers or sport journalists that always seem surprised to learn that the rockets play defense, and they normally play tough, even though they have Scola, Landry, Artest, Hayes and Battier that are the stereotypes of rugged players.

 

wow...its odd, could be annoying...but if there was some important point he was trying to reveal...then I'm interested in knowing.
What do they know that we Rocket Fans don't?

If they kept saying that after every basket...if I were there, I woulda turned around every now and then after the Rockets scored:

"Even though the ball dont lie, we're the Truth in Texas."


At least maybe I would've done it. If I knew SA would win by 3, I might have agreed with those prophetic punks.

So how were others in the toyota center reacting to it? Any comebacks, fights? Knowing the TC, I bet fans were just scared to bring it on.

 

That was BEFORE the operation.
