Houston Rockets Thread - Preseason vs Spurs (Friday)

[earldagoat]

It feels dirty cheering for Terry, but the Jet is taking flight.

Liked him back in his Atl days, but I loathe all things Dallas.

On the left side, a modern, efficient NBA offense.

On the right, Byron Scott's call back to the 80s.

Here's our bench right now, courtesy of McHale

I just got home and caught the start of the second half, saw the box score and wanted to post:

Our bench is as bad as advertised but the 3s are reigning.

how did you guys not die of stress from having to watch lin for an entire year?

I'm sure there were several suicides in Houston due to his erratic play

Papanikolaou! Ha, dude seems basketball savvy and potentially a solid role player.


We are going to struggle big in the painted area. and Canaan or Johnson should have gotten minutes when we were up 18. Won't be any other time where it makes more sense. Troy Daniels too. We have to search for depth. I hope I don't finish the season hating McHale's coaching again. |I

You just learn to live with it.

Dwight should have hit Kobe harder

SMH. A rookie needing an air cast in his first NBA game.

Man he's probably my favorite rookie too. sad

Yeah I think they made those numbers even bigger :x. I just think they gotta redo the whole logo and everything. Its time .

Parsons had 5 points. Ariza hit 5 3s.

glad parsons struggled tonight. he'll obviously play better than he did tonight throughout the course of the season, but we can't linger on that fool forever.

we played sloppy at times, but overall, it was a good game for us. dwight has to make his ft's though. wish he would play like playoff dwight every night.

1-0

 

[jewbacca2]

Parsons also missed a potential game winning shot as the clock hit 0.00 in their LOSS

to be fair parsons played the defending champs and you guys played well... i dont even know what to call us 

GG though

Ugly 0-5 for Daniels from downtown.

Many more massive double-doubles to come this season for T. Jones.

 

[do work son]

he came in an garbage time and just chucked, i ain't mad at ya troy

 

[jewbacca2]

Troy came with the heat check straight from the bench lol

 

[Peep Game]

Let's see if McHale sets Canaan and Daniels free against the Jazz tonight. Hell, may as well get Garcia in there too.

As far as last night, interesting game. Hate Howard's foul trouble early, but with the way the game went, today was sort of expected. Definitely need better bench production going forward, but I liked what Terry brought. Good to see TJones take advantage of his matchup. Wish he could consistently do that. I'll update the thread with last night's stuff (and more than likely tonight's) when I get my laptop together.

Bev's hammy. Damn damn damn.

 

[do work son]

rest beverly the next game or 2 anyways. we won't need him.

harden and howard both looked really, really tired. back to backs suck.

ariza 7-10 with 4-7 from 3, and pap with a 4-6 from 3. both SFs cost us less than 12 million. just saying.

mchale really needs to let canaan and daniels run. we're gonna need the rest down the stretch, and you don't want to ruin their confidence. canaan was going heads up with tony parker in preseason, but can't get consistent rotation minutes?
