14 games in and Adleman decides to utilize Lee over Martin for defense for the first time? Not a good sign. It also surprised me to see that David Lee did not play this game. And against the GSW every Rocket player puts up great numbers, Shane especially has great games.
Golden State sure likes to send Houston to the line. The Rockets shot 52 and 51 free throws in their two games this season. The Warriors shot 26 and 18.
Better passing, better defense, better results. Give Courtney Lee some props, the dude put the hammer down on Ellis. A better team game, but defense was the key. Hope is alive. The best thing about the NBA season so far is the Heat continuing to lose, got to love it.
Why is scola such a bad shot blocker? Is he slower than battier? Have less hops? I dont think he does....im glad it's gone up this year, but as smart of a player as he is i'm surprised he's been so bad at it over the years...it's practically non-existant....he should get about one per game....let's hope he can average one for the year.
How about Chuck Hayes maintaining his 12 free throws in a row streak. Not even Bill could jinx him tonight.
They closed the gap a few times, but every time they cut the lead to 2 or 1 points, we would hit a three almost every time..then extend the lead even further. I don't think we trailed them at all the entire game, it was great to see the team play an entire game free of dry spells, especially in the fourth
but battier is 6'8 and can't jump either....i think he's either too tired from the offense or just isn't putting himself in that mindset. He's improved significantly this year..
I'd like to give some props to Scola, who owned the paint at the end of the game to help get the win. The Warriors' frontcourt didn't know how to stop him.
Brad, we would prefer you not to take charge we know what happened last time.... Spoiler Anyways, great to see our Rockets get a W playing TEAM ball on both ends. Offensively we were playing inside out, and doing great switching on D
Whats with all the whining? We WON .Now lets build on this and get a rol on. I think if we get Yao back and just stick him into the paint and dont over use him on offense, anything is possible.
Good win. Chuck in the 1st quarter was unbelievable as well as unexpected. Battier having even the slightest offensive contribution is usually a great sign. Bud needs to come out of this shooting slump already. Martin and Lowry getting to the line was huge. In general Lowry played one hell of a game. I thought he was going to get the triple double. Great game Kyle. We need every win we can get. Hoping for 20-20
Solid win. Great to see the team play good defense when it mattered. Chuck deserves more minutes... the only person that can stop him is Adelman lol
I agree. I was at the game and was very impressed with Chuck's first quarter, yet Adelman didn't play him near as much as I thought he should have after that quarter. He's improved in so many areas. Around the rim, passing, and free throws stand out the most. I'm really liking what I see out of him, now Rick just needs to give him some more court time.
I think we're not the only one frustrated, my guess is the players got it from RA after that loss...and probably DM as well. My only problem here is Jordan Hill only got 4 minutes of pt. A career game last time and only 4 mins this time. How's that for a motivational tool.
