[Game#12] Rockets vs Celtics - Game Thread

[MaxRider]

Seeing how good our "reasonable" starting lineup looks, i'm still a little anal about that TT experiment. I think we gave away 2-3 games doing that.

TT work great against Portland though o.O

Yes, but hopefully, it's now out of our system. Better to get it out of the way at the start.

Morey said that he projected the team to have 1 more win than we have currently.

So what was the story on Asik only getting minutes in garbage time?

[RollingWave]

Either sort of a statement by McHale or he's trying to ease Omer in there a bit.

I'm still baffled by how we manage to give up so many offensive rebounds every game.

asik was actually smiling

mchale reward dmo for playing well in the previous game
if your name is not harden and howard and if you don't play hard you will be in the doghouse

Gotta love the Rockets are playing more like a team.

Didnt like Asik playing in garbage time...the Tjones+Dmo lineup was not good...unless Dmo is stretching the floor there is no reason for him to be out there. Shoulda been Dmo+Asik or Tjones+Asik.

If McHale is trying to do this whole "prove a point thing" then he is an idiot.

[texasholdem]

Oh well at least the crowd cheered Asik instead of booing him like Schaub.

[madbucky]

Good win! It's nice to dominate a lesser team rather than play down to their level. Hope Jones can keep it up against better teams. Beat Dallas!

well all know what needs to be done, give the bench extended playtime...our players numbers will go down.. but im willing to bet their efficiency goes up and they win more games... and we get less injuries...

and that is the easiest way to get Asik up and running on the team
