Jeff's blog: Five Ways the Rockets and Houston Are Alike

Heck this non-Houstonian appreciated it.

Nice comparisons and Jeff, you seriously need to post/write here more. We miss you.

 

*TEAR* That was beautiful.

 

i agree, there is some sort of metaphysical interaction...i think the city is the factor that does the influencing.

 

Thanks, Clutch and everyone. Just seemed appropriate.

 

"Neither pretend to be something they aren’t.

The Rockets don’t try to outscore opponents because that isn’t their game. They don’t run up and down the floor with a fast-paced, wild and free offensive game. "

Did you watch Game 4?

 

great read..

though i not even remotely associated with Houston .. I loved the article.. awesome!

 

I like this Jeff:

But, that’s the thing about these Rockets, like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, they just won’t quit and they won’t go down easy. You have to kill them. No matter what the odds, they seem to constantly come up with ways to win and change whenever necessary to make that happen.

Yipe Kye Yay!

 

*tear*

5 stars

 

Yup and they didn't even crack 100 or allow the Lakers to crack 90. Not exactly a whiplash kind of pace.

 

Nice comparisons... I didn't even think of any of that. Genius article Jeff!

 

well done, jeff.. cool to read, esp. for those of us who have moved away from houston for one reason or another

 

83 points through 3 quarters is definitely high scoring in today's NBA.

 

My point was that they weren't scoring tons of points on the fast break, which they weren't. They just shot a high percentage from the floor and hit a bunch of three's, particularly in the first half.

 

Awesome work Jeff *gives Jeff the thumbs up* (we need more smilies with more options, lol)

Being a born and bred Houstonian I feel your writing definitely somes up the essence of Houston, Texas...shoot, it makes me even prouder to be from Houston as well as a Rockets fan. Once again great piece, Jeff, you did the Bayou City proud *gives Jeff his E-Propz* (we need more emoticon/smiley options d@mn it, haha)

 

I think it's only appropriate that you change your moniker to "Tree TROLLIN"

Amazing article Jeff, you're a great asset to this board..

 

Tree Rollins, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

 

That was cute, thanks Jeff and Clutch for posting the link.

 

Wonderful article Jeff, makes me proud to be a Houston citizen / rocket fan.

 

Great article!

By the way...

I lived in Houston for 17 years. Lived in NYC now for 18 years.

I think that I am more like...
