Post-Game Analysis: Rockets 97, Pistons 83

Rockets defensive intensity was incredible in the second half.

 

Where are the Brooks homers at?

 

I'm a big Bud fan but it maybe time to give the kid a few games off and let him catch his breath.

Scola was in BEAST mode.

Lowry is creating a VERY difficult decision for Rick/Daryl.

5.5 out of 5th and 5 out of 6/7...

 

win...
great

 

Waiting till Lowry misses all of his 3 pointers to point out how much the rockets need AB's 3 pt shooting as a starter

 

Lowry...man. Scola with a great game. Lee seems to have a really low BBall IQ. Why would he shoot that last 3 with 18 seconds on the shot clock?

Tough job for Rick when Yao and Brooks come back. I also think that Jeffries should take Buddingers minutes.

 

- Lowry and Scola showing they deserved the contracts they got
- Budinger needs to go to the D-League, for some reason I think we need to separate Hill and Budinger
- Jeffries is very serviceable, defensively, he can be like a Tayshaun Prince light
- Martin is a cherry picker and when we need stops, we should take him out, but his offensive efficiency is great for the first 3 quarters
- Battier is a warrior and leader

 

I wonder why Jefferies was playing instead of J Hill.

 

Nope.

We had the lead and we were controlling the game. Lee played over him in the fourth just in case Martin's defense gets abused and Pistons make a run on us.

 

Scola 35 pts
KLowry 23pts 12 ast

 

Lowry does so much more than AB does at the point. Its gonna be interesting for Adelman of how he gonna utilize them. Lowry and Scola pick and roll game will be very deadly.

 

Is it me or was this Clyde's strongest game as a Rocket announcer?

Had a good Lou Gossett Jr quip

Practice makes me Luckier

You mean like a rodent?

There were a lot of other good, funny ones.. Not only that he had insightful commentary on the players. I was very pleased.

 

We'll probably see them together 3 or 4 more times to give them a decent chance.

 

In the Rockets front office.

 

Don't Aldeman's experiments, but Lee does not have pg skills. That trial needs to stop.

 

if anything lowry should start over Brooks..

 

That is really an interesting point.

 

Clutch 4th quarter performance. These games are must win for us to get back into the playoff picture.

 

Battier +31

 

It will in like 2 games once Brooks comes back.
