GT: Hornets @ Rockets Monday 8PM

I think we either lose a close game or blow them out. The Rockets are so Jekyll and Hyde. They have beaten some good teams but been swept by the Nuggets and the Nets.

Not sure if i can post this here, mods feel free to delete if inappropriate. My ballstreams acct ran out and I'm unable to renew for some reason. Just discovered that Reborn4HDLive has a Christmas special for $65 (for full season) until the 25th, thought I'd share (not looking for referal bonus). You have to sign up for a free 3-day trial first.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem while watching live stream from sites like firstrow. All those ads that you have to try and find the x then click to remove, made it a pain in the ass to watch the games. I finally added an ADblock extension and now they are all gone. Best way to get instructions is to go to youtube and search for "how to block ads". It also blocks commercials when you watch anime on sites that stream.

I'm guessing most of you already use it. This tip is for people like me who are slow to use all the tools that are out there. Cheers, hope it helps someone.

Guess I'm spoiled but I can't watch anything less than HD now, first row just doesn't cut it. Also like the option of watching it delayed to skip over all the commercials.

Yeah, the quality when watching on stream sucks balls. I usually download and re-watch the game if it was a good one.

I used to watch the free feeds but they aren't reliable. I watch a lot of NBA games so League Pass works for me except for the blackouts and Comcast in my area blocks YES, the Nets channel. I also don't have NBATV in my cable package. But, for the most part, LeaguePass has been worth its money due to the amount of games I watch. If only for the Hornets game, you can choose the 1 team option and it is less. At this point in the season though, it's of course not as good a value as if signed up pre-season.

Same here, not sure what happened to ballstreams. Had to just go for league pass this year.

I want to see Hawes and Frank out there a lot tonight. I want to pull Dwight away from the basket as much as possible, also think Hawes can probably bang with Howard down low better than Zeller anyways.

I hope Nic is in a good condition, Ariza is a tough matchup for him. When Nic plays bad, we'll see more Kemba's hero ball and i don't like that.

Kemba and Nic are in a shooting slump. Martin asked Clifford about the Lin-Kemba-Batum combination and Clifford mentioned now having three pick and roll players is tough to defend. Let's hope we see a lot of that combo and hopefully kickstart the offense.

Harden is probably gonna kill PJ, Lamb, and Lin.

Let Harden get his as long as we dont foul too much or let the rest of the Rockets get rolling. DHo is unhappy right nwo with his lack of touches and honestly hes the biggest mismatch as he can overpower and destroy any Hornet put on him. Gotta be super aggressive in crashing D boards to not give up cheapies.

This game is very winnable, just need the offense to play smart and the defense to play tough. Rockets are fragile mentally so if we stay strong they'll crack from pressure eventually.

That combo is still developing chemistry and haven't found the proper balance yet. I think Lamb just has to get it going. We used to know we were getting 15-20 points from him, now it doesn't even seems like he plays much. Hawes may bring points as well as Frank. And Marvin is in a shooting slump too.

But still, got to defend. Harden may get his, especially at the line so have to watch out for that, but contain the other guys. And Harden is a good passer too, so, he can draw defenses and create.

Not worried about Harden nearly as much as I am someone like Ariza or Clint Capela taking a big dump on us tonight,

Having seen a lot of Howard on the Rockets and Lakers, I can say that he is a terrible post player. I

everyone has to play well tonight. Let Harden get his but take away everyone else.....

Batum has to be back tonight and Kemba has to make some shots.....we need to be the best we've been this year to win.

Teddyb · Post #37 » by **Teddyb** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 1:03 am

Also hope Lin isn't tight because he's back in Houston.....just play

Bout 12 people in attendance.

Beverly will likely not make life, or his shooting slump, any easier for Kemba.
