Game Thread 29: Rockets host Hornets 12/21/15

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Sun Dec 20, 2015 5:18 pm

7:00 PM CDT at Toyota Center

Rockets with a chance to go over .500! No Ty Lawson, but should be running with a full crew besides that.

Go Rockets!

Jeremy Lin's been playing pretty well for them lately.

Game time!

Damn. Don't like seeing Capela getting in foul trouble early.

Motie has to make an impact tonight!

Did Jeremy Lin become an anime character when I wasn't watching?

Foul trouble is exactly why Capela shouldn't start with Dwight. Besides the spacing thing. But that's your first two centers that can get in trouble very early.

Also I feel like more people flop on Dwight contact than they do with any other player.

I am seriously digging Lin's hair tonight! :lol:

But let's still crush them.

Too be honest I've been zoned out on Texans playoff race and haven't been paying attention to NBA. I'm glad to see us with a chance to get over .500 that can do a lot for a teams confidence.

I'm hoping that as Motie rounds into form he'll step into the starting 4 spot.

But so far this season my countryman, Capela, has been the best option at the 4.

So far this season the Rockets haven't given us much of a reason to be zoned-in. Hopefully they are turning the corner now.

He's been looking pretty good offensively as of late but he still needs to get back into defensive form. Gets lost a lot

Motie is really claiming that Captain Hook moniker.

Thank god they went cold when the Rockets did their obligatory cold spell.

Man Ariza is looking really bad on defense tonight. Getting caught up on screens and Lamb is blowing by him

Horrible first half by Houston. I'm pretty amazed that they have the lead.

It's good that being in the bonus for almost 8 minutes didn't hurt the Rockets too much.

Refs taking turns screwing teams. First Rockets now Hornets haha.
But man TJ is really good in a reduced role like the one he is in now with Dmo back

Frank looks good tonight but the Rockets are trying to get this W and above 500

Refs forcing their way into this game too much. Theyre bringing the hornets back.

Man, not sure why Harden is passing when he has the post seal on Lin.
