Houston Rockets

[Pepeng Manas]

^sana nga consistent. acceptable na merong ilang games na masama ang shooting percentage, pero sana wag masyadong maraming laro.

let's see how the rockets will do when they're up against a much bigger team. although gasol is out, bynum, mbenga (if he'd play), odom, still makes the lakers very big relatively.

 

kaya lang di pala lalaro si Smooth Jazz Chase Budinger. pero this is a chance for Jermaine Taylor to show what he's got. :cool: good luck, JT.

The Rockets are undermanned yet they have overachieved. A carryover characteristic from last year's playoffs. What can I say? 2 missing superstars and a 6'6 center and their PG averaging 21 ppg. Good luck with the Lakers game Rockets fans.

This ROCKETS team has been overachieving since the playoff last year when they extended the heavily favored LAKERS to a 7 game series even without their "main man" YAO.

 

Good thing the Houston fans here don't have the no YAO mentality.

an escape act by LA over HOUSTON ... just by 1.

 

Ariza and Artest both finish the game with 15 pts. Both exchanging 3 points baskets during the closing seconds of regulation. Ariza though had a bad shooting night ... percentage-wise.

 

Still a great game from HOUSTON

^ i agree. the end result could have been better for houston, but i'm happy with how the game went for houston. :cool:

 

as i've mentioned a couple of posts back, rockets will have bad shooting nights. they were 4-15 from the 3 after 3 quarters, IIRC. but the great thing about it is, the game could have still gone either way instead of houston being smothered. the game needed an overtime and the champs won by 1, for crying out loud!

 

but these kind of games is when the rockets really need a go-to guy.

 

it was like a playoff game. really exciting!

 

John Hollinger of ESPN.com tweeted before the jazz game, "if houston wins against nemesis jazz (at utah), we have to take them seriously." rockets were still pretty impressive against the champs, so somebody sound the alarm!

 

media should now raise their expectations regarding the rockets! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

WE ARE RED NATION!!!

 

...Good thing the Houston fans here don't have the no YAO mentality.

No Yao? No Tmac? No Artest? No problem!

i agree with you sir pepeng, houston is hot, even without their two star player, the way aaron brooks, luis, ariza has done to rockets, beware utah, Portland, and LA. red hot houston is in a blazing fire team

[darksoulriver]

As long this Team plays as a whole(stats against Lakers)... Rockets is not a push-over!

 

teams without there Superstars usually plays much better specially those Bench warmers!

i remember some media man tweeted that the rockets are "a symphony of 5." forgot who said it, though.

[batman2272]

ariza played too soft against his former team.

[Pepeng Manas]

Great win over the champs at Staples. Super game by the little guy Brooks. No T-Mac, no Yao, no problem!
