Someone burned Martin for missing that FT. Mistakes happens. Nobody is perfect. At least he redeemed himself and made the last few FTs to close out the game. The Scola fouled almost killed us, but again, it happens. The good and the bad. People are way too quick to put down a player for one mistake. As if the mistake negates all the good the player did beforehand.
Ugly win but a great way to head into Christmas! If Blake Griffin doesn't win ROY then something is wrong with the NBA!
That might have been the most pissed off I've ever seen Adelman when Scola fouled the 3. Thought he was bout to knock someone out.
Not happy with Adelman. 1. He should have started the rotations sooner, with +18. Can he ever improvise something? Ge goes always with the planned stuff no matter the situation. 2. You gotta foul on that last play, can't allow them attempt a three. This pisses me off so much, he doesn't correct the mistakes.
we are beastin in cali boy. didn't we do this last season to in our california road trip except it was the lakers instead of sac-town
I swear, Rockets are doing it on purpose.. they're letting teams come back in the 4th so they can practice being clutch and holding on for the W.
Rockets almost lost the lead with the idiotic insertions of AB and Bud for extended minutes. Starters got back in and took the reins, prevented a potentially catastrophic and humiliating loss. Clutch play by Lowry and Martin sealed it. Stupid foul by Scola almost un-sealed it.
7:10am here and totally worth it. Hayes with great D on Blake for the whole game, i think he only scored that 3 pointer while Chuck was guarding him... Was glad to see Blake finally for a full game, and except for alley-oops and that 3 pointer at the end, not so special as I thought he was gonna be (maybe cause Chuck did hell of a job)... Courtney Lee with great defense at the last possession.
Battier was big tonight. Hayes did a great job on Griffin. Defense overall was good. Team shooting was off. Adleman made some timely adjustments. Officiating was horrible. 4 wins in a row. Merry Christmas. :grin:
