    Haven't seen the spread, but I don't think they will cover it tomorrow.

    Because the game is more than just stats!

    Lowry was really struggling in the half court sets today. There was atleast 5-6 times when he just ran circles on the perimeter, created nothing, then dumps it off to Battier or Miller w/ 3 seconds left and we get either a terrible shot or a turnover.

    Believe it or not, players are capable of playing bad in wins and good in losses.

    This

    Code:
    1:28	Kyle Lowry blocks Russell Westbrook's 10-foot running jumper	93-97	 
    1:25	 	                                                        93-97	Shane Battier defensive rebound
    1:06	 	                                                        93-99	Shane Battier makes 9-foot running jumper
    
    pretty much sum up the night.

    Battier's defense of Durant on the final possession. Battier yelling after hitting a three, his last on of the night IIRC.

    Wake me up when AB is on the court....till than I am rooting for the players who are playing.

    Also sure, it ain't about stats and he made some bad plays but that's like saying AB doesn't also make bone headed plays.

    Lowry ain't perfect, so isn't AB.

    There was a play in the fourth quarter (as I was looking away) . . .I thought Oklahoma had gotten the rebound, when suddenly Jordan Hill was dunking as most of the players were headed the other way.

    Exactly what I want to say. I was really pissed that after a timeout, the play turned out to be Lowry shooting a jumper. I question if that is the best play that Rick Adelman can draw for the team? Shouldn't it be the last option?
    I take any win over loss. However, the single play could have cost the game.

    I'm glad I didn't go through with the Shane Battier no can NBA thread I was about to create before the game.

    I missed the game today. Hill has 12 points and 7 rebounds, why is he only playing 16 minutes :confused:

    As terrible as the Rockets have played this season, they're only 3 games back of the 8th seed.

    Not that, another one with 2 minutes remaining. Maybe it was blocked by Kyle and not Hill and I missed it.

    Looks like they gave it to Kyle but I was sure Hill was the one that actually blocked the shot.

    Yes. Lowry played a very good game overall. 14 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal. He still cannot shoot, but he is helping this team.

    BTW, C-Bud is trash now. Give a freaking chance to JT.

    Lowry played well, but he got a little too cocky when he launched an ill-advised three early in the shot-clock with the team up by a few points and only like a couple of minutes to go. I thought that was stupid.

    Just got back from the game. Good win, it was very exciting. Nice to see a good Rockets game, haven't in a good while.
