Game Thread 51: Rockets host Heat 2/2/16

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Tue Feb 2, 2016 6:02 pm

.500 record 50 games in.

I just read Max post that Dwight is suspended for tonight's game for making contact with a ref. That last game just continues to haunt us.

Watching the Rockets should not feel like going to work, but that's how I'm feeling these days. This season has been so terribly frustrating to watch.

Is tonight the night where they finally rally & turn it around? I hope so.

Go Rockets!

That's every game at this point in the season.

Crazy that we won't hit 50 wins this season.

I'm hoping for a 5 seed at this point and a solid deal at the deadline to give this team a boost.

Maybe this team simply needs Motiejunas to get healthy but I'd like to see an upgrade at either 3 or 4.

Welp. Clint and Montrezl also out. Only bigs available are Josh Smith and Terrence Jones.

tied after 1.

No defense to be found in Toyota Center so far!

God this lineup of Ty-Terry-Thornton-Brew-TJones just has no dfense. Not really anything JBB can do this time though with both Dwight and Clint out

This team is just dumb. So So dumb. How do you mess up 2 fast breaks in a row.

Rox finish strong in the first half!

This is such a weird game. I hope that they come out strong in the third.

Solid 3Q

Terrence is playing well and Id like to see Trevor hit a couple threes to finish out this game.

Rockets Rollin'!

KJ! Good to see him.

Really good win by the Rockets!

Impressive win with only two bigs that are each about 6'8". This stretch that Harden has been on is probably better than anything he's had last year. Been engaged on D for a lot of the game (sadly not all), his passing has been on another level, and he's Scoring super efficiently.
TJ looked really bad in the first half but he settled down on D and was solid in the second.
Smoove and lil Buckets where awesome as well

Good win. I was at work, so I couldn't watch it. I'm glad we got the W, and I am surprised considering we had no bigs!!
