Game Thread 12: Rockets host Blazers 18 Nov 2015

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Wed Nov 18, 2015 7:39 pm

vs.

Time: 7:00 PM CDT Wednesday, November 18th
Location: Houston, Texas - Toyota Center
Record: 4-7

Man, typing out that record is tough...

All eyes will be on the Rockets tonight, and not for the best of reasons. Coach McHale has been fired and Les Alexander has put everyone on notice. J.B. Bickerstaff will lead the Rockets as the Interim Head Coach.

Beverley is not expected to play tonight.

Go Rockets!

Game after a coach getting fired are usually good. We will see how long the new coach buzz lasts on this team if it does at all

Bullard has been very professional so far. It sounds like he was very upset about this McHale situation earlier today.

Jason Terry starting ahead of Lawson!

JB is making a big change to start off.

Dwight posting up? Haven't seen that a lot lately.

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers... :nonono:

One quarter down. It was pretty inconsistent, but we are seeing different rotations and hopefully it won't take too long for these guys to get into a groove.

Lawson & Dwight show a lot of promise together. I like that our PG is being allowed to be a PG.

Sloppy play by the Rockets this quarter

But then they turn around with some beautiful basketball! This team looks so much better when they are rebounding, causing turnovers and running the court. When they get into the half-court set they seem to get so bogged down and just waste clock until there's no time left and they jack up a shot. This team is like a shark - they need to keep moving to survive.

and I am well aware that I am talking to myself in this thread. Consider it my online, public diary. :lol:

This team just cannot shoot this season.

35 points in the First Half, down by 11.

This is not a good team. Trying to figure out why I'm still watching.

They can't do much of anything well this season, but I thought that was all McHale's fault.

Guess not?

For a moment I almost thought this was the Astros forum.

The defense looks much better and they are actually winning the turnover battle. Getting open looks they just aren't falling

At least the Astros were a fun team to talk about, even if no one was watching!

Here we go... :nonono:

The Rockets are now the Brown Acid.
