2018-19 Houston Rockets Thread of running it back (mainly)

[Slacks 6825]

So...  GSW has a team of 5 all-stars, because they added Cousins.

Rockets add Carmelo Anthony, a couple of G-League cats, a dude off the street, Rivers, and now Faried.

Yeah, no.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Need a win tonight in the worst way.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

It's gonna be a long 6 weeks without Capela. No rim protector, and no threat at the rim on offense

Please steal this thing right after Texas beat ou.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

If we win it would make up for the loss to Brooklyn

[UDontKnow 10447]

Eric Gordon is back!

[TexArcher 37989]

Eric Gordon should change his middle name to "Motherfucking".

[perfectchaos007 6677]

OT baby

[Tommy Nobis 905]

We won’t lose this in OT. Fuck LA.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

LA has been shooting out of their fucking minds. Time to come back to early Cali pussies.

[TexArcher 37989]

And put it all on his jersey.

It should say, "I'm Eric Motherfucking Gordon, son".

[TexArcher 37989]

4 pt font, whatever it takes.

FTs mostly

[NowThis 931]

crazy how HOU has no height. That would be death in old school but meaningless these days. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Lol,
That’s never called unless you’re the lakers. Fuck these refs

[TexArcher 37989]

I like how two Lakers jumped off the bench to try to distract Gordon at the line.  Swish.  Dorks.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

GTFO whitey

[UDontKnow 10447]

A couple of more FTs and this game would be a Rockets victory. Gotta grind it out on D.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Please dont let our poor FT shooting kill us 2 games in a row

and Harden in the passing lane.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Nice to be on the right end of a 21 point comeback.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

BIG win for the Rockets after what happened against Brooklyn

[4Pete 156]

HUGE!  

[Eddyline 116]

That James Harden guy is a pretty good basketball player.

[TexArcher 37989]

Yeah, that one felt good.

[huge 3795]

Two trasssshy 3s down the stretch I’ll take it.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Love seeing Lakers Nation melt down on Twitter. Blaming everyone but themselves for the loss.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Noticed Michael Carter Williams is off the roster. Glad we released him

Traded him to the Bulls along with cash considerations. The Bulls  then released him.

 

[HtownHorn 14750]

Any news on who is getting the axe to make room for Faried? I guess Nunnally makes the most sense.

Edited January 20, 2019 by HtownHorn

[BigOrange1 6442]

yeah it's most likely gonna be nunnally.  sucks for him, but he was 0-5 tonight and passed up some good shots.

[aggie08 21505]

That's weird. Why not just waive Melo? Professional courtesy? Or still holding out hope that another team will give up a pick to see the blatantly obvious for themselves?

[BigOrange1 6442]

i think they're hoping they can include him and his $1.5 million salary in a trade for luxury tax purposes.  

[Machinator 32099]

 

[BigOrange1 6442]

should be an interesting one against the sixers tonight.  embiid should go off, but hopefully our 3's exceed their 2's.

[BigOrange1 6442]

welcome to the squad kenneth faried!

[BigOrange1 6442]

and pj tucker is playing some motherfucking defense lately.

[NowThis 931]

Brewer, who looks like a 45yo at the local Rec center, is on Harden. lolz, i love the philly stupidity. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Philly is trying to get in Hardens head any way they can. Oh and fuck Embiid

[Southernthunder 38]

Brew trying to chop block Harden.  Wtf. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Embiid should have picked up his second tech there. What a douche.

1. Harden would still lead the league in scoring even if free throws didn’t count.

Post any positive thought about Harden online, and hordes will respond with accusations that the Rockets star’s success is mostly a product of gaming the NBA foul system. So for a moment, forget that drawing fouls is a skill—a valuable and repeatable and legitimate basketball skill—and pretend that all free throws disappeared from the league’s record books.

Without his cheating go-to, Harden would obviously tumble down the scoring leaderboards, from first all the way to … first. He scores 25.7 points per game besides his free throws, a smidge better than Steph Curry’s 24.7 sans free throws. That total also would give Harden one of the 25 best free throw–less scoring seasons in league history, and the second-best since Michael Jordan’s prime.
