Rockets vs Hawks 12/31/11 Game Thread

JCF: So it sounds like when you’re talking about just treading water for the first ten games, you’re probably not even talking about going .500; you’re talking about just trying to eek out three or four wins basically?

DM: If we go 5-5 we’ll be on pace for the playoffs for sure – that would be a very good result. Then 4-6 would probably be what a playoff team would do against this schedule. Even honestly – and we don’t want to do this – but 3-7 would be one we can recover from and still make the playoffs.

i guess the league had a meeting to set not to call foul for Martin unless they see blood

Yea he only went to the line 3 times. One of that was a technical shot. He keep getting hammered and no call. David Stern is determined to stop the Martin FT line parade this year.

[rocketsballin]

he will suck

most likely yeah, but i meant for the team. what do you see in your celestial vision on your ethereal plane?

[Aaron Brooks]

i can only see the future for jhill

oh well then you're pretty much useless aren't you? your wizardry magic is severely limited.

[Aaron Brooks]

i cant use my full power due to this ankle injury

[rocketsballin]

ah, that's a good excuse. cover up all your shortcomings with injuries. that way no one can blame you. how could they? you're injured. although i fail to see how an "ankle injury", as you say, limits your ethereal realm powers. but hey what do i know huh? im just a "sub-human", as you would say on your universal plane.

Hill usually does good against Atlanta

good scouting report. the next 2 games are in LA. u got anything on that?

oh lordy Bynum is gonna go for 30+ on Hill especially since we no longer have the Chuckwagon.

haven't posted in awhile...

this game was pretty entertaining. Martin was on fire from 3. Lowry looks like a solid all around point guard, defensively, offensively, and as a floor general. Jordan Hill has looked great, looks like there is something there after all. Dalembert has looked great on the defensive end.

We don't have a championship team but we certainly have an exciting young team and some valuable veteran assets.
