Houston Rockets Thread - Preseason vs Spurs (Friday)

the highs of game 1 are lost if we don't win game 2. must protect home court. can't let momentum swing as we go into dallas.

handle. business.
 
Mchale slowing learning and going IDGAF mode.

Finally realized Capela needs some burn and deserves to be ahead of Dorsey, maybe he could have got a little more experience in the regular season, but better late then never.

FINALLLY going hack a Rondo when Smith was fouled. Mavs responded by not even hacking again due to the threat of hack a Rondo.

Brewer :smokin
Ariza :smokin
T. Jones :smokin
Dwight :smokin
Harden :smokin
JET :smokin :smokin

Should get a NT rockets viewing party down. Any of yall CF members? Season Tickets holders?
 
Forgot to mention something I noticed last night, if you watched the National broadcast, that was the first time in a verrrrrry long time that announcers actually sounded knowledgable and informed about the Rockets. They mentioned all the injuries, games missed, lineup changes, style of play and every other little thing you can thing of. Is it that hard for Shaq, Charles, Skip, and other people with a large voice in the media to do the same??
 
Only real negatives from last night were the ticky tack fouls they called on dwight (and the moving screen was just a bad move on dwights part) and josh smith's stretch of like 4 or 5 straight God awful possessions.

Playoff dwight though :smokin
 
The moving screen and hook on I think Dirk are just inexcusable fouls on Dwight, regardless of how ticky tack they're calling the game.

We are so so so much better as a team when Dwight is on the court, he's gotta realize he can't pick up those fouls.

Now looking at the box score I realized T Jones had 19

Very quiet 19 didnt even feel like he got that many points 
 
It was a quiet 19, but I definitely saw the impact as far as the rebounding. There was a good amount of possessions where he was key in keeping things alive.
 
All we can ask for is for home court to be protected. Just play even better than the 1st game. Limit Howard's fouls to keep him dominating, and don't let Dallas's guys make easy shots.
 
Parsons is out for tonight's game, and Richard Jefferson will be starting in his place. This shouldn't mean a sigh of relief for the Rockets it should mean go full throttle and try to bury them. No reason for Jefferson to have any positive impact at all.
 
We let bums like Felton and Jefferson be way too productive. Same as Aminu. Dallas is getting a lot of lucky bounces and shots from us not securing rebounds. Brea is killing us as well, **** shouldn't be happening
 
Terry/Prigs already playing better than Lin from last year

Thank you Detroit.


Thank you Minnesota.


Thank you Dallas.

Up 2-0 but like Dwight said, series don't start til a road team wins. We need to take one in Dallas, preferably both. James is destined for a big big game in one of those games.
