Lin was our x-factor against the Spurs a couple of games last season - hope our veterans help Harden and Howard take care of business and keep our winning/point differential streak going
I'd say Tjones was the x-factor if anybody. He always went off on San Antonio. Anyway hoping we can keep the streak against the Spurs going! Keep the wins coming and Go Rockets!
Barkley will say we haven't played anyone yet then after we beat the spurs Barkley will only talk about Dallas vs Portland the next game on tnt. F that clown. Shaq will talk about how Dwight needs to play more dominant even though Houston is playing good then after the win he will give Houston some love then Crack some back handed joke about the rockets that no one will laugh at. Kenny Smith will now be all for the Rockets as if was always on the bandwagon. Ernie will play Devil's advocate.
Let's hope the Hawks wear them out some tonight. It's crazy that the Spurs haven't played since Oct 31.
If SAS is any indication, still no love. SAS said the Rockets are definitely not a contender, even said that Portland was the better team because they beat us last year (which makes no sense...so I guess they beat us last year means that they will beat us forever. Teams don't get better or worse...except for the Rockets, they just get worse.) and that the Rockets beat no one so far except for the Heat. The Blazers wins so far are against OKC and the Cavs, so they too have only beat one credible team (The Cavs) and even lost to the Kings. To be fair SAS said we did improve but not by much, just that we would miss Asik too much but that we upgraded at PG and SF. He just thinks our depth isn't good and that the Blazers are still better than us. But I hope the media doubts us all year. Will make each win much sweeter.
Journalists who bring up Asik clearly didn't watch the Rockets last year. The dude didn't play 1/3 of the season, arguably our greatest stretch of the year.
Yes, Barkley would say that the Spurs did not have their center, Splitter. Howard should get 40 points, and 20 rebounds, then everyone is going to be the process of HaHa, and BlaBla.
The rockets better get this win on my birthday tomorrow! Keep the streak alive vs the spurs. It's gonna be awesome rubbing it in all the spurs fans faces living here in SA!
I'd say you're right Key Stats Game 1 TJ 10 & 16 Beard 31 points CP25 25 points D12 13 & 11 Lin DNP knee Game 2 TJ 21 & 16 CP25 21 points Beard 28 points Lin 13 points D12 15 & 16 Game 3 TJ 21 & 9 Lin 18 points Beard DNP D12 23 & 16 CP25 6 points Game 4 TJ 20 & 11 Lin 5 points CP25 21 points Beard 16 points D12 20 & 12
After watching the Rockets dismantle the Heat, I don't believe there is a team in the NBA that we cannot beat. Period. We have purpose, determination, defense and the Beard.
If the Rockets win this one, the board will melt down, the media will start focusing on the Rockets, and the TC will be rocking. Wait, all those things have already happened! Onward and upward. The Spurs struggle with the Rockets; really kind of funny.
