Refs killing us with these tap fouls

[tha_rock220]

WTF is Martin doing??? He's not playing defense and he doesn't seem interested in getting to the basket.

[zapatasblood]

Lowry pushed Byumn???

[Tomas_11]

damn lowry really wanted to spoil the lakers fans

[Aaron Brooks]

clippers tomorrow

[inquisitive]

Lowry is a beast...in another year or two...he is gonna be an All-Star

[inquisitive]

clippers tomorrow

i think we will play worse against the clippers...not just becuz of b2b, but they're young and athletic..unlike the lakers, so they will match our speed and quickness...plus we don't have the griffin stopper anymore.

Lowry played his heart out plain and simple

[rocketsballin]

lowry followed his career high 18 assists with a near 1 assist shy triple double

remember folks, early in the season. take these games with a grain of salt until we're 10-15 games in. also didnt get stomped out by the lakers in LA so thats always a plus, whether or not it's early in the season

Refs new pet project is Bynum. There were some good blocks that were called fouls. But that's the way it goes when you play the lakers. Full of celebrities that need to be pleased by the refs and primadonna players.

Rockets played really well in three quarters. Shot really well. But played too many undersized lineups.. Which was stupid when you're against Bynum and Gasol. Thats how bynum got 20 rebounds.

Better from T Will,, Hill was playing hard even though he didnt get on the statboard ,, so it was good to see him do that. Patrick Patterson looks horrible out there. Out of shape and not making any shots.

[Aaron Brooks]

I hope this game can convince Hill to on some damn weight

[rocketsballin]

for all you wusses that wanna tank

-Manu Ginobili has a fractured fifth metacarpal and Tim Duncan is a shell of his former self.
-The Hornets traded Chris Paul.
-Zach Randolph has torn his MCL and will be out at least 2 months.
-The Mavericks have lost Tyson Chandler and are playing poor basketball.
-The Rockets are 2-3 and are only one game back of the division leading Spurs (3-2).

The Rockets HAVE to take advantage here.

the basketball gods are finally answering our prayers! its about cot daam pickin time.

I hope this game can convince Hill to on some damn weight

lifting weight or put on weight on himself?
you don't want to weight a ton to guard taller center
need to be strong and play smart
