Wafer failed his physical.. I just dont believe the grabbing of the kids neck..

Maybe he had a trade and wanted Wafer (or another body) to be a backup, but Wafer ruined the plans, then he remembered Mike Harris.. I don't know. I just see a trade coming soon when JT got PT. Hopefully not though

 

Landry is doing so good. I wonder what he would do starting? Would he blossom like Chase did? But its so nice to have him off the bench, i dont think Scola would bring what he does off the bench.

 

Lowry, Tmac, budinger, Landry and Anderson, I really think our bench is stronger than our first unit, at least in offense.

 

Is it me or do the Rox look like they got a bad case of the Shaqies? I hope RA is grinding them on this because this can cost us games against elite teams.

 

I think Adelman deserves some praise too.

Coach of the Year 09/10

 

he's got to be at the top of the list. it's early though...

 

I don't know if it was just me but the time when T-mac was in the game, Landry was pretty much non-factor on the court. T-mac played very well but seemed a little out of the flow of the offense. What does everyone else think?

 

T-mac gave landry an assist. T-mac did have the ball more, but that's because he was hot and Clippers weren't taking him seriously.

 

Definitely the cheapest combo. 3m+3m. nobody can beat the price.

* Indicates the Tie Break is final

Here is the latest batch of Magic Numbers after all games were played on <B>December 22</B>.

For the second game in a row, the Rockets pick up a tie break over a Western Conference team. It was great to see Landry back, and not just back, but flat out dominating. Lowry is continuing to play great. TMac looked agressive, and even Taylor came off the bench for some quality minutes. This team is kind of rolling and has a winning aura about it.

We're only a game behind the Suns for the #4 seed. Things are looking good.

 

^ thanks Scribo

its crazy to think the rockets have played 23 games so far vs western conference teams and only 5 against the east (though that will change by next monday)

every other team outside of the wolves have played less than 20 or less (with only the clippers playing 20)


Scribo -- not sure if it would be more a lot more work but would it be possible to show W/L at home/road for each team?

 

No problem.

It wouldn't really be difficult to add the W-L for home and road, but I'm afraid it would make the chart too wide, where it wouldn't fit on a lot of people's screens. Anyone else have thoughts on it?

 

i think it would fit

personally i dont really mind not having the L10 games being there to make room for either # of home/away left or a home/away record column

at least for me it helps me sort of guesstimate how difficult a teams remaining schedule could be (more road games, more home games etc)

 

Man Yoyo...always making life difficult.

I'll tinker around with it some over the next week and see what I can come up with. I kind of like the last 10 because you get a better feel of who's hot and not.

 

Ok, I think this warrants some attention. T-Mac scored 10 points on 3/5 shooting with 8 minutes of playing time. Ariza 2/11 (0/4 from 3 point land) scored less than T-Mac with more than triple the playing time.

Ariza's play is something to look at because he has these kinds of games more often than he has 30 point games.

Just to stay on topic, this team is surprising a lot of people. :grin:
