Game 44: Rockets host Pistons 1/20/16

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 5:20 pm

One game over .500 and two games back of the 5th seed. Pistons are in town and they bring some size with them. Hopefully the Rockets come out strong in this one and maybe - just maybe - they avoid their cold spells.

I haven't been able to watch the past few games, but hopefully I will be able to catch this one.

Go Rockets!

Just got in as well. Rockets down by 12, in a cold spell and Dwight is injured.

Awesome.

Yeah, he's been looking so good in the past few weeks.

How serious is the injury?

houston, you guys should get more shooters around dwight. i feel like you guys are built like the pistons except you have a certified star in harden and the undersized bigs you have cant shoot (what happen to the tall lefty?)

You are singing to the choir about getting better shooters. Marcus Thornton has been our best offseason acquisition because he fits that role so well.

Motiejunas has been out nursing an injury. I'm not sure of his return date.

They did so well to get right back in, but that sloppy play at the end was a killer.

Come on, Rockets...don't do this.

I just want to state for the public record that I hate it when the Rockets go to the hack strategy as much as I hate it when teams use it against the Rockets.

That is not basketball.

Harden with 1,000 3-pointers in his career.

He's pretty good.
