This guy can be a block, reb, dunk machine on a good team, I have been on him from quite some time, but there is a problem, next year he is a RESTRICTED FA, and I think the C we will sign is Fesenko..... But a offer for him will most likely be made, or DM will talk to him, like he did with Fesenko, so in the future we could land him... Great win, Martin showing haters he is a stud..... Don´t hate on Bud and AB, they are being used not because they are better then Dish and Twill, they are playing for showcasing purposes, don´t worry DM nows B-ball. Loved Adelmans reaction, that is what coaches should do, show emotions out there, hate seeing a coach just standing there like nothing is happening, and don´t worry about Scola getting verbally punished by Adelman, tomorrow no one will remember what happened. Did y´all see Blake and DeAndre very disappointed at the end of the game??? Man they would love to be a Rocket, I can smell it :grin: PeAcE
but they almost blew the game. if griffin hit that three, good possibility that that game would of gone to OT. cant blame brooks and company for blowing the lead when you wont criticize the starters for blowing a lead.
Dorsey was drafted by the Blazers, and then used as a throw in when we traded them Batum. Stop re-writing history smh. Also Jordan was no different from any other raw C prospect like Omir Asik, Devon Hardin, Sasha Kaun and Semih Erden in that draft alone. Of course you conveniently forget the thousands of other raw athletic players who don't pan out and focus on the 1 or 2 who beat the odds as proof of Morey's "misses" .
Shane should always look to score when he gets a shot int the offense. When teams put a 6'1 guard on you, thats disrespectful. He should get in the blocks and make them do something, thats good basketball. Just from my personal experience, I'm 6'4, if you weren't 6'7 or so, I never saw you as a defender. Battier with his size shouldn't ever allow a team to play him with a small guard.
You guys are being wayyy to hard on Brooks, the kid led this team to a 42-40 record, was very clutch at the end of games last year, basically carried us in the playoffs a couple years ago. He's only started 5 games this year, and just got back from an injury where he missed over 20 games, give him some time and he'll show you why he was the NBA's most improved player last year.
Probably because our oldest players get significant playing time, except for JJ. -Playing on their homecourt. -They're coming off a 3 game winning streak, while holding opponents to under 100 -Their frontcourt is big and athletic -talented team that lacks experience Taking that into consideration i'd consider it a good win regardless of the score. We had a long drought, but give them credit, could have been a lot worse inside for Houston. Have to expect games like this, what counts is closing them out. AB need time to get back to himself. He's still having some soreness and trouble with that ankle, but that's usual. His shot looks pretty good. He just needs to get his stop and go motion back.
Sure I can. I am hugely disappointed by Scola's r****ded foul end game though and would have blamed him mostly if the Rockets lost. It was almost as bad as Yao trying to strip Billups two seasons ago. Then again, he was the reason that we were in this game. With the exception of Scola and Martin, I know the other starters out there will play D. Can anyone honestly expect the same out of Brooks? There is also a matter of expectations; Battier, Hayes, and Lowry are not expected to score while AB is. If AB can't score, what use is he?
I never said he blew the pick, I just said if you're going to take a project, take a 7 ft project with raw talent vs a 25 yr old 6'6 undersized one. Jordan was 19 dorsey was 25 at the time. Throwing a stone at jordan made more sense than one at dorsey. BTW, sasha kaun can play. I hope he comes back to the states and play. I liked his game and pretty soon I will get my link to watch him play to see how he is doing.
in that stretch in the 3rd quarter when we blew the lead i didnt notice anything brooks did that would of directly caused us to lose that lead. as a PG i saw a diff brooks out there than the brooks that played in the first 5 games of the season. he penetrated more often and dished it out to open players for some easy looks. you cant blame brooks directly for that mini-collapse.
DM had a "win-now" mentality... Dorsey was 4-year player under Calipari, was physically ready for the NBA, and had already tasted success in the NC game with Memphis. He was the more reasonable pick for a team with its sights set on a title.
Not to mention every time he dished it out, Budinger and company would miss every three, we stunk it up from beyond the arc tonight
does anyone know where i can find a courtney lee rockets jersey. i'm looking everywhere with no luck at all
From two Clip Fans about their loss. "I hate the Rockets. They've assembled a really annoying collection of players, with Kevin Martin leading the bunch. Good effort by the team to come back. If we hadn't spotted them a 16 point lead in first quarter, the game could have been much different." " * ahem ahem* they've assembled a group of pu$$ies *ahem* "
Probably have to do a custom-made on NBA.com... it's expensive, but the only option for a legitimate jersey.
