2019 - 2020 Houston Rockets Thread of Heroes Taking Shots

[Tommy Nobis 905]

First game I’m going to fully watch tonight. Y’all can love or ban me later. Fuck LA.

[Lurch 5931]

I know it was a cheap gimmick, but I dug the Tucker mid shoot-around interview

[BigOrange1 6442]

if russ can consistently attack the rim rather than shoot the long jumper when presented with the opportunity, as he just did against patterson, he is going to be a very nice addition.  

[Tommy Nobis 905]

4 fucking fouls on RW?! What the fuck. The 4th was definitely bullshit.

[Pimphand 5811]

They should have left him in to see if they could set the record for quickest DQ ever

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Now I remember why the NBA is so hard to watch.

[Pimphand 5811]

I am not sure who sucks worse.... NBA refs of Mike D'Antoni

[Zavala 1384]

Ugly stretch there. Good thing the clippers can't sink anything either.

Lulz James doing his Westbrook or Gordon impression from WAY dt

[BigOrange1 6442]

why the fuck did pj not dunk that?

The entire regular season is the preseason lol

[Zavala 1384]

Westbrook takes horrible shots, and somehow the team looks lost without him. When does Green come back? These backup guards are horrible.

It's Tony Brothers. He takes over games. Him and Scott Foster have shut down the Rockets the past 4 or 5 years. 

 

[Zavala 1384]

Jesus a jump rope laying on the floor?

[BigOrange1 6442]

omg russ has been awful

He's also getting fouled badly and they ain't calling it

[Zavala 1384]

Ah 15 more mins and the Stars game starts

[BigOrange1 6442]

like anyone gives a fuck about that.

[BigOrange1 6442]

russ sucks

[BigOrange1 6442]

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Doc is such an attention horse.  We’re gonna lose fuck LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME

[Js1 85449]

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

lol I was honestly surprised the refs didn't T-up Austin for gesturing the Technical sign at his dad. Hilarious sequence

Yes they fouled him every time he took it the basket. The dunk was the most egregious, cost him a T, but at least Capela got the rebound and put back. I like the defense that Chandler brings to the 2nd  unit, him staying healthy is key. He or Capela needs to be on the floor at all times. 

#2 in the West, undefeated in the conference. Big win tonight.

Lol looks like it turned out fun. Brody has won me over.

This is a pretty good article on Load Management in the NBA. Makes me think we would have beat the Spurs in the Semies if we were doing it in April 2017. The way they describe fatigue is exactly what Harden looked like by the 2nd round.  I'd like to see the rocks rest Harden and Westbrook on different days in back to backs.

[Pimphand 5811]

Yeah I wish they would go back to those uniforms permanently

D'Antoni is wayy too dense to figure something like that out....

[BigOrange1 6442]

harden is un-fucking-real.

[BigOrange1 6442]

Harden is the best player in the game and it's not close who is 2nd right now.

[BigOrange1 6442]

harden is really fucking good.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Solid 20 point road win against the T-Wolves on the second night of a back to back with 60% of the starting lineup missing and two G-league stars featuring heavily in the rotation. 

Maybe Elston Turner's presence is starting to make an effect. The Rockets are still undefeated against Western Conference foes.

As soon as Gordon got removed from the rotation, the defense got better. Hmm.

Hartenstein probably deserves to be in the regular rotation as well. Just stupid to play 4 guards for the majority of the game.
