Rockets will be trying to pick up their first win of the season. Nuggets on the 2nd of a B2B.

Look at that.....

I dont think we'll win and I dont really care tbh. Id like Melo to be traded already sp I can decide if itd be good to win or to suck for low picks.

Afflalo has lost all rights of being a game thread girl. Not only did the pics not work, his numbers took a big hit as well. I nominate Nene, he would dominate the beach volleyball circuit with all of his spikes.

Rockets announcers on NBA TV are huge homers...Rockets flopped all over the court in the first quarter and they didn't acknowledge it...now they wanna ride Nene for acting a little himself

This one is tough one.

Really want Melo drama to be dealt with. All he cares now is to be safe and be traded. Longer we wait worst it will be.

That's more like it. Nene with a double double tonight. He did alright with the beach volleyball circuit tonight.

Harrington had a nice game (28 and 10), Melo had a nice game, Billups came up with a big bucket and hit his freebies down the stretch. Up until the end Billups sucked.

Jessica Alba's ass pulled this one!

Giving up those games that's winnable MUST stop!

Was that buzzer shot Nene's first ever made 3 ?

i think they said it was his second career.

very solid road win. thought all that houston flopping would get the better of us....but hung in at the half, got more physical in the paint and made some shots at the end.

if billups hadn't been just terrible up to this point....we'd be 3-0 with 3 pretty wide margins of victory. that's promising....especially with such a small frontcourt.

It's like Billups suddenly forgot how to score the ball?

I like Harrington's spark off the bench. I was hella against it at first but I think it's a decent signing.

Afflalo played well. At least he doesn't chuck on games where he doesn't score too much.

Billups should have rested, if he cared for this season really.... I was not paying much attention to world championship and surprised to see him the first time.

Now hope Karl will really stick with Ty most of the time and rest Billups down the stretch.

Bottom line: Melo situation needs to be dealt with. Sooner the better.

I have really liked what I have seen from Sheldon so far. all we need from him is defense and rebounding, and he has provided both, plus his hustle on the floor seems to rub off on the rest of the team. I know its early, but he could be a pretty big steal for us if he keeps playing the way he has.
