2017-18 Rockets Thread

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Ok also some pregame bitching, why is it if the rockets and warriors games are 95-92 and 98-94 everyone says it’s not “beautiful basketball”? But if it was 135-130 the same guys would be saying it’s no defense horrible basketball? 

Ive seen great steals, blocked shots and great pressure team defense that is forcing turnovers, ugly basketball is dribbling the ball pff your elf and throwing it away with no pressure? 

Is this the narrative because Houston hasn’t been good at all on defense for so long no one gives them credit? Or just the crybaby spur fans saying it because anything not “GSG” isn’t beautiful tonwatch? I’ll hang up and listen.

Vegas obviously wants the money to go on the Rockets. GSW is -1100. Rockets are +750. Let’s break the book!

1. keep defending their asses off.

2. rebound

3. don't turn it over.

4. shoot 50-60 3's and see what happens

[elfenix 34234]

imperial march is way better than what the warriors are being introduced to.  

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Warriors announcer is horrible. Sounds like a pre teen dork trying to sound cool.

gordon about to drop 10 3’s.

[BigOrange1 6436]

[TexArcher 37774]

For Golden State

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Keep it going. Whatever we do, don’t panic when the inevitable warriors run happens, just keep playing defense and these runs for us will continue.

[oh_snap 694]

EG and Ariza came to play tonight. Sweet.

[elfenix 34234]

need to keep up the gas out of this time out

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

We need green and luc Richard to come in hitting shots and playing defense too. 

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Harden has missed 21 consecutive 3's and Rockets are up 3-2

[TexArcher 37774]

Stop the god damned fucking turnovers, man.  We cannot beat them with 20 fucking turnovers, ever.

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Ducking turnovers!

well, furk

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Not sure why we pulled EG so fast when he wa sclearly the hot hand.

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Best way for harden to get that deep ball shot back is to attack the basket and go to the free throw line.

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

I was about to explode if they called that flagrant.

[oh_snap 694]

Good hard foul. Shocked though that they didn't call it flagrant.

[elfenix 34234]

3za!

[elfenix 34234]

finally!

[TexArcher 37774]

Oracle sounds like a fucking library right now.

Y'all nervous??

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Harden's missed 3 streak ends at 22. Now maybe he'll MAKE 22 consecutive 3's

Love it. 2 on 1 fastbreak, kick to the corner for a triple. This isn’t your dad’s NBA

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Keep it up. Would love to watch the warriors lose tonight.

Just maybe the refs aren't against the Rockets, Sidney.

[oh_snap 694]

Unpossible.

[UDontKnow 10444]

Rockets must keep this intensity up. The risk here is complacency over the next 3 quarters. But good God, wow Rockets! 39 points in the 1st quarter! I did not see that coming.

[TexArcher 37774]

8 of 12 on threes and Harden has 15.

FINISH THEM!!!
