Bout to get stared down by Brooks

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Can the guys get up again after the dis-heartening loss last night?

 

[Chris Craig]

Can the guys get up agains after the dis-heartening loss last night?

Maybe. Different set of refs at least.

Revenge !!
(1) Jabari and Scoot were kicking the crap outta the Thunder.
(2) Ant's go-ahead missile got suppresed by corrupt officiating.
(3) Ayton put heat on himself to show everyone what Dominayton is all about.
(4) Malcom nearly lost an eye, a wounded animal can become more fierce.
(5) Grant has been a bucket machine.
(6) Toumani and Matisse have been extremely disruptive defensively.
(7) Duop playing like a minimum contract monster.

Basically... the Rockets are about to land inside an active volcano firing out pinwheel shaped lava bombs.

And yet we'll still probably lose this game. I think it will be a good game but I don't see us ultimately winning but would be cool with being wrong.

 

[Whyachi]

Billups hasn't had to call timeout in first 3 minutes. Good start i suppose ?

Not bad

 

[Whyachi]

Sengun looks better this year.

 

[Chris Craig]

Sengun looks better this year.

Looks very confident

 

[Chris Craig]

Wanted to see the replay on that last play.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers TV skipped an entire Rockets possesion to show a Chauncey interview

Blazers TV skipped an entire Rockets possesion to show a Chauncey interview

picture in picture software was developed over 30 years ago. But Jody Allen is so cheap she won't buy it for the Blazers.

 

[Chris Craig]

Did they take the point off from the double lane violation?

 

[Whyachi]

Grant's patented 3 point flop, gotta love it

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant's patented 3 point flop, gotta love it

Totally a flop

 

[Whyachi]

Did they take the point off?

we know the refs cheat, who knows what their evil plans are this game ??

 

[Whyachi]

nice dime by Thybulle

 

[wizenheimer]

I think Jeff Green is playing for his 13th team. Maybe 12th as this is his 2nd stint in Houston

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot doing good things again.

 

[Whyachi]

Whitmore shooting his way back to the rookie combine

 

[wizenheimer]

neither team seems interested in defense

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I like the energy.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good 1st quarter.

 

[Whyachi]

Rockets 1-6 from deep, that's not very playoffy

 

[Whyachi]

refs just jacked us, freakin morons

 

[Chris Craig]

refs just jacked us, freakin morons

What else is new

 

[Chris Craig]

Get Scoot out

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot whoopsie foot dribble, Houston cans a 3, Billups calls timeout
