    From Merriam-Webster:

    Gelling - to change into or take on the form of a gel.

    Jelling - to take shape and achieve distinctness : become cohesive.



    Just something I see a good bit that I thought people here should know since we talk about "jelling" so much.

    would the rocket's red be more of a spicy-hot red? or a cherry-strawberry red?

    Are teeth on Rockets always this sharp or does this Rocket have unusually sharp teeth?

    Those aren't teeth. They are scuff marks because the guy piloting the ship is a really bad driver and he nicked the basketball as he was flying around it.

    Certainly an interesting take on the English language. I think it does have meaning and relevance.

    No, i'm pretty sure they're definitely gelling in some of these games...

    Don't know man, our defense against OKC tells me they might be gelling as well.

    This was done by OKC with the Rockets being dead tired no matter what Coach McHale says. He had played the starters too many minutes up that point. Rockets will have a good payback when they play the Thunder in H-Town.

    lose vs loose.

    wins in a roll vs wins in a row
    vs
    team on a roll.



    also, don't use apostrophes in team names that end in "S"

    from the game thread- it's not "King's fan"- that would be the King's one fan.



    it's just "Kings fan"
