Damn that felt good.
The Rockets overcome Joey Crawford and his band of misfits to beat the s--t out of the evil Utah Jazz. It would have been a 20 point plus victory, but Brian Cook entered the game and ruined that... final score is 113-96. Suck it, Utah!
Seriously, Utah had a massive height advantage at most every position. They had home court. They had Deron freakin' Williams (who is really, really good and sadly misplaced among the rogues he has to call "teammates"). And, as noted, they had Joey Crawford and the other two refs that couldn't possibly be any worse than the replacement refs from pre-season. All of that........ the Rockets overcame. They could not - and would not - be stopped. Not even in Utah, where Rocket dreams went to die in the past.
Dear Daryl Morey,
I was wrong. About everything. I should never have doubted you.
This box score is just awesome though. Its beauty is in the simplicity and all-around consistency. I want to frame it.
Chase Budinger, ftw. My new favorite albino rookie went for 17 points, 5 rebounds and all sorts of clutch in the 2nd half. Then there's Chuck Hayes - who at this rate may lead the NBA in steals for the regular season. Chuck went for 12 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assists. On 6-8 shooting. Seriously, Utah, you let Chuck Hayes nearly get a double double on you. There's only one way to properly respond to that:
Look at the box score again. The Rockets put 8 players in double figures. EIGHT. That never really happens with our team, and yet that might be a regular occurrence with this unselfish roster. 50% shooting as a team (and a robust 52% from beyond the arc. Nice!). Even better? The undersized Rockets out-rebounded the Jazz 46-38. It's true. I couldn't believe my eyes either. Utah only got 8 offensive rebounds. EIGHT. So much for a size advantage. The Rockets have a heart advantage (not to mention a karma advantage).
The only way this could have been better would have been if Joey Dorsey got to play... got a gorilla dunk... and then impregnated all of Salt Lake City. To mark our newfound territory.
pwn3d, bitches.

For all the South Park references we make here… this one should have been obvious.

I get the feeling Dorsey’s managed to slack his way into being filler in the next trade Morey puts together. If Joey’d actually shown something worthwhile in practices, he’d be getting floor time.
Considering that Williams, Boozer and the whole Jazz bench stunk out the building, I’m surprised the lead wasn’t larger. DWill taking 20 of the Jazz’ 71 shots — and only making six of them — is a stat I love to see.

Sadly, you might be right.
We could use a powerful defender to spell Hayes, wreak havoc, and really get the most out of his fouls. I’m sad to see Joey not embracing this role.
If the Red Nation apparatchiks start talking about a Five Year Plan, I'm out of here.

Props to AB
He was running circles around everyone when he was in, and that layup that put us up 69-65 was sweet. We need his energy in order to compete with the Lakers.

Jeez, even Brian “Snook” got into this game ahead of Dorsey.
Not good, Joey… not good at all. If you can’t even beat Brian Cook onto the floor then maybe they should have kept that 3rd PG instead of you…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

Morey.....
should have never been doubted, he has looked nothing less than a mastermind in putting this squad together. i trusted him since the beginning when he first started to put the pieces in place, and now i know i wasn not wrong to do so. and watch out ppl, be prepared to be surprised and ive felt this way a long time, chuck hayes is a good player. he may not light the stat world on fire with points, dunks, etc, but he more than makes up with his defensive skills (which are off the chart) and heart/hustle. and now he is in a system where he can be a little bit more of himself. i trust him down in the post defending, yes players will get their shots over the top, but they will not go through him. not the chuck dog! lovin this team. and ariza will be the scorer we need him to be.

The things I liked the best...
AB with 9 ast, finally the midget is getting the ast’s up…
Chase- just barn stroming in general
Anderson- only 1 foul( even know his a defencive liability at least he wasn’t sending MO to the line every trip down) and sure he shot poorly but utah has a big front line so he will be better then this (same goes with Landry)
Hayes- the bloke is a legend!!!! and he does all of this for about $5 a game!
