Rockets rocking the boat...huh??
Apparently the Rockets had to take a boat across the bay to get to the game tonight. A cable on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge snapped yesterday forcing the Rox to take either a longer, earlier bus or a ferry with the general public. They chose ferry.
Check it out here: http://www.nba.com/2009/news/10/28/rockets.ferry.ap/index.html
SA just crushing NO. They could name the score at this point.
If the Red Nation apparatchiks start talking about a Five Year Plan, I'm out of here.
To watch the game
NBA.com is letting fans preview NBA League Pass broadband online for free until 11/3. Just sign up to become a member, then launch the player.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
#1 thing I hate about League Pass:
inability to select which audio feed you want. There are very few non-homer broadcasters out there, and if I have to listen to a homer, at least let it be Bill and Clyde.

True
but for a fan in Lubbock, TX where you don’t get the game, any video is good video. You can mute the audio.
And I know we want to stop putting up 3rd-party streams, so I thought I would pass the info on to anyone else who wants to watch, since it doesn’t get more legit than NBA’s own site.

what I did freshman year of college
was stream the chinese broadcast, mute it, and sync the radio broadcast using realplayer or whatever.
I still do the audio thing when we play the Jazz.

Not really
Got accepted to Tech’s medical school out of high school: no MCAT, no interview, no application fee.
The catch: go to Tech for undergraduate degree.

GSW announcers:
“There’s Ariza, he shot a lot of threes for the Lakers, but most of those were wide open.”
(Ariza shoots wide open three)
“Bit different in a Rocket uniform”

Another good quote:
“Andersen the European. He’s from Australia but played extensively overseas.”
Where to begin….Is Australia somehow Europe but also not overseas?
Everywhere not America is Europe!!!

Ariza's on fire from behind the arc
and I’m liking the two-pg lineup. It was good last year, good this year, too.

david andersen
is looking really good. his post play is starting to shore up already. then again, the warriors d isn’t exactly something to shout, or even whisper, about.

Nice to see, even though the rest of the team … what’s up with Landry?

Aaron Brooks story
I’m the only Rockets fan in my area (North Carolina) so I always try to convince my friends to go out to a bar when the game is on so I can de-facto watch the game with people, even if they are just drinking and don’t follow the team at all.
Anyway, the first time I did that and Aaron Brooks came on screen, my friend goes “I know that guy.” They both went to Oregon and evidently played poker together. He didn’t even know Brooks was drafted.
what?
Brooks plays poker? He might be my new favorite healthy Rocket not named “Scola” if that’s true.
on ESPN
Hubie Brown just called Carlos Boozer a “high character person”
I blame short-term memory loss.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
The Warriors announcers don't know what to call a 'point guard'
They’re so enamored with curry’s ability to pass, unlike the rest of their team.
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
cut them some slack
the last time they saw anything of value was in the Rick Barry era.
Your friendly neighborhood Dream Shake mod.
why can't the rockets
stay strong for more than 2 minutes or so???
and is it just me, or is that ‘constant player movement’ that is supposed to happen when the stars like mcgrady and yao aren’t around non-existent? happened a lot last night too, not a whole lot of screens, mostly guys standing around watching the one with the ball try and fail.

please please please
Can we buy a defensive rebound tonight? Anyone?
I do like the up-tempo, and once Andersen figures out that forearm shivers and hip checks aren’t allowed in this league – he’s going to be fine.
Scola has 13 points in the third
That’s a lot.

I could be an announcer!!!

That was the strangest post move I've ever seen
Chuck Hayes is a scoring beast! ???

Hayes has looked surprisingly competent offensively this year
"Horton is win." -Horvil Tiki 4/13/2009
Jedi McD is my hero.
yeah, I'm impressed
he’s been doing a lot more than even I expected of him.
Your friendly neighborhood Dream Shake mod.
He's going to have to
If teams are going to rotate off him when ABZ/Lowry/Ariza drive, he has to make layups. Has to.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
This Warriors team is so sad
Isolation, miss shot. Rinse, repeat.
Man, they really needed Curry. lol. Too bad they’re not playing him. :P

Shrinks to 6
in the last 30 seconds of the quarter…
by RocketsAstros on Oct 28, 2009 11:29 PM CDT up reply actions
that's still not as bad as the end of the 2nd quarter
in the last 1:45, we let a 2 point lead turn into a 10 point deficit
"Horton is win." -Horvil Tiki 4/13/2009
Jedi McD is my hero.
19 of those in the 3rd quarter
Brooks is having a tremendous game as well:
19 points and 9 assists

Chuck Hayes
is our best player right now
"Horton is win." -Horvil Tiki 4/13/2009
Jedi McD is my hero.
Wow
In a span of 62 seconds, Chuck Hayes picks up defensive board, a block, an assist, and a steal.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Budinger has hit 50 million threes.
Or at least, well, four.
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
The truth is usually somewhere in the middle
So 25,000,002 three-pointers, to be exact.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I counted wrong, three
So I think 25,000,001.5 is more accurate.
How does Chase make half a three-pointer? He’s JUST THAT GOOD.
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
Good timeout
The offense is ok, but the defense needs a break

when we're sloppy with the ball, our defense looks much worse than it really is

I'll never mind the refs giving Turiaf freethrows
and that was a very timely 3 by Ariza

Against the Warriors
you get a lot of open threes :)
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
Watch Budinger off the ball on offense.
I don’t know if it is his catch-and-shoot mentality or what, but he’s running a clinic on the motion offense. He’ll camp in a spot for a two-count, and if he doesn’t get the ball he’s out of there. Compare that to Artest or even Scola or Ariza, who hang around and demand the ball a little longer and bog things down.
Good observation
He is really impressive tonight.

Man, the charge calls have NOT gone our way tonight

Let me call this
Jackson misses a random, Zack Randolph-esque 3

Whoa, I hated those stupid announcers until I saw that moustache. Well played, sir.

It shouldn't have come this far
Scola’s two missed FTs made this a close game

and then Ariza got the rebound and immediately turned it over

Clippers-Suns game tied!
That’s what I’m watching now … 11 seconds left, Rasual Butler hit a really strange-looking 3.
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
Whew, that was closer than it needed to be.
But for those saying Curry’s shot looked bad? Not in the 4th – his shot is even smoother than Ellis’. GS is such a weird team, if they just played with the slightest discipline they’d be a force. But they don’t, so we win on their home court, again.
I’m very happy to see the return of Rockets offense, and have to say, Chase Budinger looks good. And he’s not short, is he? That’s helpful.
If the Red Nation apparatchiks start talking about a Five Year Plan, I'm out of here.
Always good to get off the snide
Good all around team effort. Double-double’s by ABZ and Scola plus 25 from Ariza is a pretty good recipe for a win. Landry came up huge in the 4th after struggling the first 7 quarters of the season. 14 steals! 30 assists! Thats how we are going to have to win this season.
I love Budinger’s shooting stroke.
1-1
Didn't get to see the game last night
But watched it this morning. It is a win, and happened similar to how I thought it would. This team has no closer, and it will be a struggle every game.
Ariza looked good, but that break away he had on the steal where he was staring at the ball as he dribbled and it was a complete epic fail. He is a terrible ball handler, but he does try very hard.
