You know Houston can't defend when Booker looks like an athletic Zach Randolph.

Calm down...Houston can do this against ANY team. You just have to hope they cool off.

Ok got some Booker for you! Looks like Booker might show up tonight!

Webster too!

19 3 point attempts already and we're not even midway through the 2nd quarter...WTF?

This Rockets team is incredible. Thomas Robinson is going to be awesome on it.

Fifth out of 30 teams according to http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/WAS/2013.html

They are not playing that way tonight, or last night, either.

Ten made threes already. What is the NBA record?

The only guy on their team that plays decent defense is Asik. Delfino can steal the ball.

Houston's offense tends to make opposing defenses look bad.

I don't think they will keep this up, but they're on pace with 11 and more time left in the first half.

The Rockets are a great shooting team.

Yeah they need to get physical with this team. slow em down & beat em up. That's their only chance.

Washington does need to be physical with jump shooters. A lot times teams live by the three and die by the three. If the Wizards stay within 8-10 points by half, I like their chances to grind the game out in the second half.

They are "only" up 9 but they're killing it from three. Washington just needs to get on the boards. They need FGAs more than anything else if they're trading 2s for 3s.

At least we're keeping it close...can't have stupid turnovers in this game

Same old garbage.

GhostsOfGil · Post #37 » by **GhostsOfGil** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:05 am

Walls turnovers...

Chocolate City Jordanaire · Post #38 » by **Chocolate City Jordanaire** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:05 am

Not at the end of the half. Big mistake by Wall. Down 7 would have been a lot better than down 11.

DANNYLANDOVER · Post #39 » by **DANNYLANDOVER** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:05 am

right on cue Johnny "TO" Wall

TheBigThree · Post #40 » by **TheBigThree** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:05 am

Wall is a complete joke.
