[Game 65] Houston Rockets @ Sacramento Kings

[MaxRider]

Terrence Williams is playing so bad he doesn't deserve garbage time.

Pounded the ball for 10 sec. Called a pick and roll. Dribble the ball a couple times and picked up his dribble from 20 feet wtf.

he didn't even bother to go play defense
i know this game is basically over
but you just finally get some playing time
you need to show the coach that you are willing to play hard at all time
you are going to pick up bad habit for playing lazy

[College Boy]

Great win!!!!!!!!!!

[College Boy]

No minutes for Thabeet in a blowout 4th quarter.

[Aaron Brooks]

I have yet to see D'marre Carroll, not even on the bench

[moofs]

That Dikembe commercial is terrible. They set up his "no no no" finger wag horribly. Why would he say no to $2 bills?

I believe it's easier with $1's, assuming he's still into those.

[rocketsballin]

this is the first time we're over .500. and rick is now 10th most wins as a coach. good game. now we got phx tomarrow

Dmarre Carroll is no one special; he was a throw in.

[moofs]

you didn't win anything
you went off topic
lebron james is not in the trade
we traded taylor away to open up the roster spot for t-will

we sent taylor and cash for top 55 protected 2nd round pick (which we are not going to get)
morey lost this one pretty bad

Ew, you're right.

[MaxRider]

not sure on the bench or not
but he's on the inactive list
since he's not injured or anything
he has to be on the bench

Ew, you're right.

trading '12 lottery protected for t-will is ok deal
but sending money and taylor away for free is not
too bad morey didn't know he wont get a superstar in return
cause we can just buyout jeffries contract to open up the spot

Now you place your loss on someone else. Classic signs of a sore loser.

[Aaron Brooks]

If Scola is injured does that mean Pat's 1st start?

[Mr. E]

I think that I'm a bit more positive on both Williams & Thabeet than most of my fellow Rockets Faithful.

Those guys are not "this year" players. They are projects with significant upside. They are both long-term plans and I'm not going to judge them by trash minutes in a season when they really don't matter and were not expected to matter.

I'm a fan of tighter rotations as I feel that it builds a team much better when you have that consistancy. Williams - as talented as he may be - should not be getting minutes ahead of Martin, Lee or Bud. Not right now. Next season, if he is so inclined to reach for the ring, he'll push for playing time. We'll see if he is the long-term fit that Morey envisions, or if he's someone whom we can cut our losses on on the relative cheap.

Jermaine Taylor - I hoped he would flourish here in Houston, but again we are talking about a 10th-man+ on this current roster. If we had kept him then he'd be doing the same thing, manning the pine. I don't think that Taylor will develop into the kind of player that can demand minutes from Martin/Lee in the next couple seasons, but I do think that Williams may do just that in a couple years.

Williams and Thabeet are not about "now." They are not instant gratification parts of this team. We can discuss them until the cows come home...but dudes...we're talking about the end of the freaking bench here!

listed day to day
i say start him then immediately foul and sit him down to keep his streak going

I completely agree. It took Lee better than half of the season to get fully acquainted with his role in our offense. I didn't expect Williams to do anything this season unless we had injuries or went into "Next Year" mode. Definitely not expecting ANYTHING from Hasheem this year, or next year for that matter.

We also shouldn't have more than a 9 man rotation going into the playoffs.
