How about those awesome highlights on ESPN boys? 1. Lebron allegedly fouled by Shane Battier "and maybe Chuck Hayes got a hand in too." 2. Lebron goofs a rebound and makes a sad face which was also kinda cute and we can all sympathize with that. 3. Lebron fell down and banged his elbow. Oh noez!!1one! And, oh yeah, Ariza made a jumpshot and Battier made a one shot, and the Rockets won or something, but (attention wandering) . . . oooh look a rainbow! What were we talking about? Classic.
those sportscenter highlights are ridiculous. I'm kinda glad they showed nothing but lebron. I'd much rather the Rockets fly under the radar.
huge W the Rockets have had some statement games on the Road with Ws in Utah and LA so far the best game at home was the W vs portland. Its good that they were able to be a legit "contender" team and beat them well, handidly at home now to build on this little stretch of good play and keep knocking these teams down
4 out of the last 5. Great stretch and good wins against some good teams. Rockets need to keep building and knocking off these opponents, no one else thinks we have a chance, its just us against the world. Pretty much our slogan every season.
I had absolutely no problem tonight with LP, recording the game on two DVRs, but I live in Austin. What a win! Man, we just killed them in the first quarter and then did something I've watched past Rockets teams fail to do... hang on to the lead against one of the league's best teams and then close out the win with some clutch shots and defense. I just love watching this team.
For people who werent around watching in the mid 90's, raise the quality of both teams up 2-3 notches and this semi-similar how it was with the Hakeem Rockets facing the Bulls Dynasty. As in great Eastern team with the best player on the planet ? - no sweat no threat. We'll even have THEIR number.
Watching the replay since I didn't get to watch the first half closely at Mambo Seafood (damn soccer game). My mistake for getting dragged to a Mexican restaurant 30 minutes before the game. FSH decided to air Battier's first two threes, then flash forward from 6-0 to 24-16 or something. Boo. Also, I feel sick even mentioning this, but I feel compelled to. Let me preface it by saying I hate, HATE, Anderson Varejao perhaps more than any current NBA player and I love, LOVE, Carl Landry more than any current player. But did anyone else notice Sideshow Bob wipe his ass on Landry's head after he hung on the rim? Landry gave him a shove, but I was still a little embarrassed for him. =(
I saw Lebron dance tonight...No...No...I didn't...Ariza was though! Nice to see the good guys stop the greatest show on the sidelines! Lebron was doing more crying than dancing. "I was fouled ref, Battier blew reeeeeal hard on me, I promise!" How many dang handshakes do they have between players? Go Rockets!
nba.com has video highlight of our game on the front page. at the end of the video, the announcer guy says cleveland loses in houston at the "target center"
That's wat am talking bout ariza, that's how you finish my man, great defense, and we finally finished a game with a run, and we had to go guy (ariza), Ariza need to learn how to do this more often....
The NBA.com highlights say Target Center so I guess we should feel happy ESPN knew the name of our team.
Yeah, I just saw the 1 am and thought the same. You summed it up well. At least we have Rockest2K to put together a worthy highlight reel in the next day or so - hopefully...
