Houston Rockets Thread - Preseason vs Spurs (Friday)

[polosanddunks]

Harden looked tired yesterday  |I
I say give him a one game rest, let Brewer start

I agree. let this dude rest and have fresh legs and let Brewer and them get some more experience and chemistry.

Dwight's return is coming up I reckon, any updates??? 

 

[Peep Game]

The most recent update of Dwight was that he'd be back between 10-14 days. Along with that, he's set to not play in back to back games, in which the Rockets have 3 sets left (3/2903/30, 4/1-4/2, and 4/12-4/13)

PMatic posted this salary cap info in the Season Thread, so I thought I'd add it here as well

Just focusing solely on the Rockets...
View media item 1451640I feel like Brewer NEEDS to be back in a Rockets uni. K-Pap still has potential. KJ could probably flourish....somewhere else. I'm pretty up in the air with Bev just cause even though he hasn't played well this season, i think he could get back to form. Somebody needs to convince me either way with him though. I also think Josh Smith could either be kept for cheap, or replaced by someone else that would be even cheaper, and possibly even better.

I feel like a lot of these roster moves will essentially make themselves by how guys play in the playoffs lol

 

[Peep Game]

Good point

Not that the players should need any motivation, but hopefully they get something out of being around the championship teams today.

Calvin doing the game instead of Drexler and Bullard. I never thought this would be a good thing, but it is.

Haven't seen beard play with this much energy in a while.

This was dope

Harden dropped 50 of them thangs in front of the Championship team It got rough for a bit (as i assumed it would), but Ariza, Smith, and Bev all hit timely 3s, and Brewer stayed being the greyhound he is on the fast breaks, all while Harden did what an MVP does. i hope that TJones injury isn't that serious. I kept seeing "broken ribs" all on twitter, but that just seemed so fast based on when it happened. I'm sure we'll get an update soon.

TJones has a partially collapsed lung

Just heard McHale on the radio and he was saying we're gonna have to rely on Smith and Dorsey more. FML

 

[Peep Game]
