My heartbeat was out of control during the final minutes. I was already dreading that final dagger by Durant, luckily, he missed.
Not to be a downer, but if we are depending on Battier to scorer 18 points in order to win, then we will not win again for the next 10 games.
the last possession is simply horrible, give the ball to your best offensive player, in this case scola or martin and let them decide to make move.... lowry is dribbling too much. this again, shows that he is a super great backup.......
So I was right the first time. I thought it was Hill who blocked it but the quality of the feed was not too good at that time and then they said it was Kyle who blocked it
not going to read thru the rest of this thread but what an exciting game. I was shocked we won as a side note, dont know if its been said yet or not but i thought it was awesome that Andre Johnson got a bigger ovation than I have heard for the Rockets all year, including the end of the game when we won, and bigger than the ovation the military folks got as well. Also saw one guy wearing his AJ jersey with a strip of duct tape underneath the Johnson that said TKO. Awesome...
I'd think it was just the way, the Thunder, were playing him.. they left him early in the game and he just started warming up. In any way, yeah you're correct lol. Hopefully though, another player catches fire (with Martin & Scola- who usually bring it every night)
Funny, but I posted in the pre game thread that I wished we would get a double win today. I didn't really expect it but lo and behold, miracles do happen. It turns out we had a triple win! First, in Boxing, Andre Johnson, a heavyweight, knocked the daylights out of a lightweight named Finnegan. Then the Texans in football, and most of all, the Rockets in basketball. The gods must be shining on Houston today. I never thought it would be possible what with all the Houston teams sucking lately.
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but thought I'd say.... The best part of the game was when they showed Andre Johnson was there, and the crowd went CRAZY! Definitely the loudest I heard it all night! A lot of people were also wearing their AJ jersey's, it was great. Pugs Edit: Looks like Verti89 beat me to it.
Agreed! I just got done discussing that with my dad. He's dribbling way too much! He dribbles at least 10 seconds off of the clock before the ball gets moving. Noticed the amount of buzzer shot clock shots we take and shot clock violations lately? Our offense gets rushed and we have to settle a lot of the time for poor looks because of the wasted dribble time. A nice W tonight. Had my doubts throughout the game. Was really fun to see the fans in the Toyota Center stand up for the final 30 seconds of the game, and it wasn't even playoffs!!!! AJ being there was awesome. I think I saw more Texans gear than Rockets gear at the game tonight.
Hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but we were lucky to pull a win out on this one. We hit 59% on 3s, but usually hit 34%. That means on most nights, we lose this one. Luck is part of the game, so I'll take the win, but we've still got some major problems. This is progress thoguh--with the most positive sign besides holding on in the 4th was that Durant was held to 7/18.
Great win by the guys. Didnt watch it but it sounded fun from the radio I was listening to in parts of the game.
