***Official 2008-2009 Houston Rockets Thread***

Is it any coincedence that TMac doesn't play and we finally get a decent win (even though that team is spiralling maybe worse than mine) Maybe there are just to many stars and the offfense flows better with role players feeding Yao, a la, the old Rockets and Hakeem. (note I am in no way comparing Yao to the Almighty Dream)

Good save. I was gearing up for a rant until I noticed that line.

lol

Damnit Houston.

Holy crap. What a way to lose. Rafer "talkin' mad s**t after raining 3's on the Lakers last year like he's Chris Paul" Alston chokes at the free throw line when he has the chance to tie the game up, and then when the Rockets are down by 3 with 8 seconds left, the Rockets....POST YAO UP.

Ouch.

^^ lol

Good game from the rox tonight. Even though they were missing some big talents, they came to play. I'm pretty sure Ron or Tracy would've known what to do with the ball at the end of the game. Wafer was a monster, and Landry tore it up, too.




1 thing that bothered me during the game was listening to the Houston Homer a$$ commentators, although I do like The Gylde, everything was completely one sided. I did find it funny when they kept saying "Wafer to Rafer....Rafer gives it back to Wafer....Wafer shoots....Rafer the rebound".

I actually think the Rox matchup with us a little better with T-Mac out, and maybe even Artest too.

I don't know what game you were watching, but Bill Worrell is always pretty straight up. I mean they were fawning all over Kobe more than most, but then I missed the first half. You want homers, try watching a Cs game, now those guys, just.. wow. Yes, that Wafer/Rafer thing was confusing. From what I was able to see Landry had another solid, efficient night. Love that guy. The lack of a guy to take a game winning shot is what killed us. The Rox D seems much better thogh w/o TMac, it's a 2 edged sword.

Yeah, I heard Clyde Drexler was p**sing off the Rox fans for going on and on about Kobe last night.

Tough Loss, last night.
I love the Efforts from Yao and Wafer.

LMAO at Hollywood only having these 2 little lines to comment about the Lakers beating the Rox, but plenty to say about the Lakers/spurs game.

What do want me to say we were missing 2 of our starters.
Yao dominated Bynum (11pts 1 freeking reb)
Landry showed LA49er, why we love him.
Wafer played out of his mind.
Kobe hit a long 3.
Rafer choked two free throws.

I thought we would get beat a lot worse, but like i said I love the efforts.
