2017-18 Rockets Thread

[The Tower 369]

Solid win last night against the Pelicans.  

1st place in the West so far and a franchise record for most wins. 

[Hook'Em0608 96]

Glad to have finally been smart enough to get the not so subtle hints of this places existence so I can follow this thread. Now if I can figure out why none of the baseball threads can be replied to...

I believe the magic number is 5, according to http://www.playoffstatus.com/nba/westernwinmagicnumbers.html

Mike D has done a great job this year. Even I've viewed him a as great regular season coach, this season has been extraordinary.

[Rockethorn1978 6,154]

In. Let’s do this rockets.

[UDontKnow 10,515]

The Hawks should go down at home easily tonight.

[Dutchrudder 11,162]

Checking in. Let's beat ATL!

[Braff Zacklin 13,672]

So did y'all just give up on  thread titles? This could be a magical season for you. Would certainly rather see the Rockets win it all than *puke* GSW.

The Rockets don't need no stinkin' thread title!

I didn't make it over here fast enough otherwise I would have titled it: Most Valuable Beard.

[Braff Zacklin 13,672]

MVB? That would've been excellent.

[BigOrange1 6,565]

checking in.  not sure if i did something wrong when i signed up, but i was told BigOrange was already in use.  so here i am.

[Braff Zacklin 13,672]

Oh, yeah, #sorrynotsorry about that. I'll "sell" you BigOrange. It'll cost you, though. About ... treefiddy.

You have an impersonator on the first day of the new message board. Congrats!

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Hi everyone!

[HtownHorn 14,979]

I hope Harden can get some rest tonight.

[UDontKnow 10,515]

The Rockets are staying grounded.

[BigOrange1 6,565]

let's get win #60.

[Hook'Em0608 96]

Isaiah Taylor got the start for the Hawks. Hope the kid has a great game and the Rockets win by 20. 

[UDontKnow 10,515]

Has anyone figured out how to embed tweets?

Edited March 26, 2018 by UDontKnow

[Machinator 32,099]

You don't need to do that anymore. Just paste in the Twitter URL:

 

[UDontKnow 10,515]

I'm retarded. Paste the Twitter URL into where exactly? I tried clicking on the link tab...didn't work. I tried 'Insert Image from URL'...didn't work. Please guide me.

I'm dumb

[Machinator 32,099]

... but when you paste the url in the editor you need to give it a few seconds to embed.

 

[HtownHorn 14,979]

I wish we would have kept Taylor, and drafted Prince.

I think I finally figured it out.

[Dutchrudder 11,162]

33 points a quarter is a nice number.

[Southernthunder 38]

I am fucking in! we are going to do this shit!

Prince would've been sent to the Clippers

prince was taken with the 12th pick in a draft where the rockets picked 37...

A man can dream.

[oh_snap 694]

Beard with a triple double tonight. 

[HtownHorn 14,979]

Magic number could be down to 3 tonight.

[BigOrange1 6,565]

60 wins.

[UDontKnow 10,515]

Next game is Tuesday at home against Chicago. A victory there will make it a 10 game win streak. That would be the 3rd double digit win streak this season, IIRC.

[runthebone 8,180]

They are good at basketball

[UDontKnow 10,515]

Yes, we're happy to have you too Gerald. I hope you stick with the team for a very long time.

[TexasMan 11,286]

Crazy that the Rockets have never broken the 60 win barrier til tonight.

Was listening to Charlie Palillo the other day, and he was talking about how the Rockets have been one of the most successful franchises in NBA history. Only 3 losing seasons in the last 34 years - yet no 60 win seasons. By contrast, the Lakers have had 5 losing seasons in a row.

[uoftorange 1,388]

Rockets on a 31-2 run

+1 glad to have him and his attitude on this team. He's a gamer on the court and a good dude off court. Hope he stays next season too.

It's hard not to be a huge fan of someone who gives everything he has for the jersey, did not bitch or moan when he was being passed over for other options over the last few weeks, has his teammates backs in every way and absolutely loves Houston more than anyone else on the team.

Green is going to be a beast in the playoffs

It's not a given. We'll see what D'Antoni has in mind for his playoff rotation. Green deserves to get 15-20 minutes a game.

[TonyTexas 10,587]

Magic number

[Scraps 13,603]

This team seems good

[UDontKnow 10,515]

No, really Chris. You can take the next two games (Bulls, Suns) off to heal up.
