I would love to see us working on verity of offensive schemes rather than sorely depending on physical talent esp. when opposing team decides to play defense by slowing down the game.
I saw, a textbook in and out scoring game between, Pat to Howard to Pat to Jone's drive in, once in the game which I would like to see more of along with P/R with big guys.

The Rockets playbook includes "Let the other team right back into the game."

Someone needs to rip that page out of the playbook. :nonono:

We are more than likely gonna win if we just play a decent defense but our offense game is so predictable when we trying to set something up.

The fact that this team is using it's starters in extended minutes and playing "not to lose" is rather disappointing.

Let's just work on our defense to close out this game since we're dealing with the Pistons.

I'm making an Executive Decision for the Victory Dance tonight.

Yeah, we got the win, but it was not pretty. In the first half the Rockets were just dominant...but once again they did not play a full game to the best of their ability. Since the Rockets only showed up for half of the game then they only get half of the Victory Dance. Instead of Butts & Struts, they only get Butts OR Struts.

I flipped a coin, and they get Struts. It's been a while since I've said this, but thank you to moofs for bringing the Struts to the forum!

But no Butts. Butts AND Struts are only for teams who show up for 48 minutes (and if the stories we've heard about some of these guys are true then forget the pocketbook - this is hitting them where it hurts!)

Oh, and it goes without saying no awesome drunk, dancing guys gif.

But hey - we got the win, so bring on the Struts!!!

I didn't even care to watch the game in the 2nd half. The Piston is too weak to worry about. Nice to see we got another win tho.
