Houston Rockets Thread 17/18 Vol. Revenge, Retaliation, & Get Back (63-15)

Rockets needed that win. A whole bunch of adversity during that game and it was great to see them rise up despite subpar play from Paul and Harden, amongst other things. They had every reason to chalk this up as a loss.



I just have to guess Green did something wrong in practice or something, cause I don’t see why he’s not getting any minutes. They should really be splitting time together.

 

I’m cool with him being used, cause he can make shots, but it’s the way he’s being used, just immediately put him out there with heavy minutes, instead of legitimately integrating him. They’re basically doing to him what the Texans have done with Lamar Miller

 

Well if that doesn’t get Green back in the lineup I don’t know what will

 

Only heard part of the radio broadcast and looked at the box score. Liked that there was balance in the scoring, and the fact that Green actually played gonna start some of the game tonight and finish in the morning. 50 wins if only the Warriors weren’t still winning as well

 

So I’m just going ahead and watching the whole thing right now, starting the 4th quarter and the TOs between Harden and EG are maddening. GSW would take full advantage of that. Everybody’s contributing though, which is great. Brewer ain’t **** trying to show out. Should’ve done that the second year in Houston you bum.

Not sure what to think about Melo. He had like 23 points, but after awhile I didn’t even notice him. Dude will probably opt-in and kill OKC’s cap, which I’m fine with. PG was fairly insignificant as well. 17 pretty empty points. My ideal scenario is for OKC to completely fall out the playoffs and go back to the drawing board.

 

He has to get all his shots in cause he never knows if MDA will cement him to the bench gonna watch the game later today. Only saw when it got to 4 and the Rockets went back up 9 towards the end of the third.

 

Finally watching Bucks/Rockets. Rockets can’t go on these turnover sprees during the playoffs against these better teams. Bucks would have taken advantage of those if their offense wasn’t so sticky and if the Rockets weren’t so experienced. Can’t wait to see this team at 100%, even though it feels like I’ve been saying that the whole season I also see that Khris Middleton was THAT guy that night he doesn’t suck though, so at least that’s good. Pretty much a fan of his life I am of Tobias Harris and Aaron Gordon.

EG getting his shot back PJ’s consistency with the 3 for awhile I actually feel good when he shoots unlike previous times.

Off to Toronto...not sure what to expect in Toronto. Need a win regardless. Feels like we haven’t won there in ages.

 

Just looked it up and I see we did. I guess I mostly remember the losses to them cause they’ve always been bad losses.

And it looks like currently the Rockets haven’t gotten off the plane.
