Rockets have the best back doctor... he fixed TMac remember???

 

Nice post!

 

agree, it really takes about 3-4 years in the same system for the "light to come on" for a pg. if he doesn't get traded or yo yo'ed back and forth once the other pg's get healthy and continue to improve his games over summer don't see why barring injury this can't happen.

 

Crazy game. The team was clearly dead tired. Lots of mental errors and short shots.

First 3Q you could toss down the drain. It didn't help that Memphis got their usual free pass to rough up people on the inside. Guess that's what a "reputation" buys you. It seemed like the only person that could get a decent call was Harden. Dwight kept getting called on ticky tacks. Lin couldn't buy a foul.

Luckily we had a few of those bad calls go our way.

Amazing 4th quarter come back. Harden and Lin basically took over the game in the 4th. It was a stunning turn around considering how bad we looked for the first 3 quarters.

Decent defense for the most part for the entire game.

Not the prettiest win, but still an impressive win on a B2B after the Spurs game.

20-11 ... not too shabby.

 

Let's not forget about Aaron Brooks' ankle too. The injury bug has no mercy for the Rockets.

 

It's the bigger shoulders.

Everybody tried to increase their shoulder and bi/tricep size with Dwight on board, but those elongated muscles are tightening the back.

Ok, that wasn't funny or scientific.

But Ang Lee hasn't made a three way broke-back mountain movie yet.

 

Didnt Morey say something about new plane seats?

 

Nah, that lockerroom is awesome. It must be the bed that they are sharing.

 

Jazz/NBA writer, ha.

The team was very fatigued coming into the game. Everyone was moving slowly. Barkley called it and that this kind of fatigue sets in during back to back games and moving west to east. Rockets got into their hotel rooms late.

 

I love Lin, but this place is unbearable when he plays decently.

 

Lin, Parsons, and Harden celebrating the win in the shower!:grin:

 

Four players now with back worries? Parsons, Lin, TJones, Howard. What are they sleeping on??

 

Despite some disgustingly bad losses, we are only 4.5 games behind the #1 WC seed. Considering how we might have folded tonight, this was a great win. Go team.

 

wow it seems i missed a lot after that damn.

 

we were at home today you know? lol, we were also in San Antonio yesterday

 

Yup, and it's only good when he has a bad quarter or half.

 

Love the shower cap on Harden's beard (being too small)

 

Update on Brooks injury?

We sure need him back next game. We're short handed as it is without Bev.

 

Can't let the beard get wet.:grin:
