Game Thread 33: Rockets host Hawks 12/29/15

Location: Toyota Center - Houston, TX
Record: 16-16...this freaking season, man!

Hawks have been really good. Bickerstaff sounds really upset with the team. As shown against the Spurs they can play ball when they are motivated to do so, but that great game was sandwiched between two winnable games against Orlando & New Orleans.

Harrell & McDaniels are back from the Vipers for this game. I am expecting both to see the court as J.B. sounds unhappy with a lot of the guys on the roster. I think that he'll reward the hard work they've been putting in down in McAllen.

Go Rockets!

Noooooooooooooooooo!

OK! magazine released a report claiming the Houston Rockets basketball player broke up with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star on Christmas, but E! News can exclusively confirm that it's absolutely not true.

An inside source tells us that the couple is "still seeing each other," and Khloe actually happens to be in Houston today to be with him as his team faces off against the Atlanta Hawks tonight.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Swiss Represent!

First time that the NBA has had two Swiss players on the floor at the same time! Rock on, land of my ancestors!

Bad foul by James there at the end of the third. At least the team got a bit of the lead back after the Hawks surged back.
