Our team is a Jekyll and Hyde type. We'll find a way to go back to ISO's next week. Good game, bad game, who knows who will show up. Francis hit most of his shots. Coming up will be a game in which he won't and Cat will be cold and take 20 shots and Ming will shoot 5 times.
Aside from being happy that we won tonight, I'm also grateful we're somewhat healthy so far and our starting lineup isn't what's out on the floor right now. Hawkins Morris Moochie Nachbar Collier ::shiver::
I'm with you, too, Drew. This is a young, talented team on the rise. We're going to take our knocks but we will be there in a few years contending for a championship. I will even go so far as to say that this team is a dynasty in the making. It is only a matter of time and experience.
Look on the bright side for a change... We won, enjoy it. You are right, there will be other games where they will revert back to ISO's and such. But, as they gain more experience and get more chemistry, those games will begin to fade out and we will see more consistent games like the one we saw tonight. Trust me.
Yo, Axeman / Drewdog / Will / etc.. If those of you who insist on calling yourselves "hater-haters" continue to refer to those of us who are more passionate and HONEST about our observations as "haters" then maybe we should just start referring to you and yours as Polly-frickin-anna's, or MaryPoppin's or maybe just MORONS!!!!!!!!!! Clearly, the more you talk sh*t about us, the more you're just pouring fuel on the fire. In other words, live and let live, or prepare for an ongoing war of words!! I prefer peace.
Is there anybody who would really rather the Rockets lose if that means a shake-up? Not me. Maybe if we'd gone through a Jazz-like period of 50 win season followed by swift exits from the playoffs. Maybe. But probably not even then. But, then, I expect the Rockets to finish w/a winning record this year... and still think changes should be made. Underachieving doesn't necessarily mean losing.
Dude, you just quoted Will's big ass quote for three words??? Why not just keep that bit of invaluable information to yourself...I am sure that our lives would not change dramatically because of it
I'm the only communist sunshine pumper around here, no one else is allowed that label. It's a young team, this kind of erraticism is to be expected. Up, down, up, down. Look world-class, look like the bottom of the dumpster.
I don't consider myself a hater. I'm just very passionate about this team and want so badly for them to do well. It's great to see the team play well like tonight, but a stinker is soon to follow this game, no doubt. The Rox just hit and miss. They're too inconsitent at this point for me to have any real confidence in them.
Now it's a "big ass post" quote. The one thing that worries me about this win is that the Rockets' season is starting to look a lot like one of their games: jump out to an early lead, coast, fall behind, then wake up and try to climb back into it. Sometimes they pull it off, but most of the time they don't. They play their hearts out but haven't left themselves enough time or points to get there. I think after the Cavs and the Jazz at home, they woke up and realized they'd frittered away the soft part of the schedule and better bust their tails the rest of the way. I hope they make it, but something tells me they haven't left themselves enough time or wins to get there.
I always HATE for the Rockets to lose. I hope they don't lose the rest of the season. Sometimes you have to hit Rock bottom to appreciate success. We shall see. DD
Lots to prove on the road. We have to take care of business. Looks like Francis is stepping up to the plate.
