Pre-Season Game 4: Houston Rockets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Welcome back everyone,

This is the first back to back of 2010-2011.  Yao Ming will not be be playing as most of you know because he is only playing one game in back to backs for at least the first part of the season.  The other two players who will not play due to injury are Brad Miller and Kyle Lowry, who should be getting back in time for Wednesday's game in China against the Neyts.  Ish Smith killed it yesterday so its vital for him to have a good game today in order to hopefully solidify his place on the team.  Unless Dampier chooses to accept the proposed contract and is deemed more valuable to the team than a 3rd PG.  Also look for Jermaine Taylor tonight, he might make a cameo.

The new look Cavaliers are a much weaker team from the one we are used to of course.  They are 1-1 in the preseason with a win against the Bobcats and a loss on Thursday against the Wizards.  I think the Rockets are the better team even without Yao, Miller, and Lowry so I expect a win at home.  Come on Rockets!

That must be awesome

Although I don’t want the game to be too exciting because that would mean it’s a close game and it shouldn’t be! In all seriousness though enjoy

dish network

No longer gets fox sports houston, which is the station that televises about 75% of the rockets game. In other words, you’re shit out of luck.

I want to see Patterson get lots of playing time.

With Yao out, Hill will start at center, leaving Chuck and Patterson as back ups. Hopefully he will get at least 20-25 minutes.

Me too

Although he really hasn’t done too much since his first preseason game. I hope he doesn’t fade away into the background tonight. I think he needs to work on his confidence level, he will probably spend some time with the RVG.

by Rockets4LIFE on Oct 10, 2010 5:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

He went 2-3 from the field last night,

so his confidence shouldn’t be down. He’s already developed a consistent mid range jumper, but if he could shoot from the 3 point line and make it consistently, he may push Scola for the starting job. We need to give Yao all the room he can get.

He may not get any minutes in the rotation

I didn't mean to put it that way.

Should have said in a year or two. I know he isn’t in the rotation yet, but if he can play at a high level defensively, he will pass Chuck.

I guess I just need to see more of him

I think it’s a bit early for him to push Scola for a starting job though

by Rockets4LIFE on Oct 10, 2010 5:36 PM CDT up reply actions  

1-2 years is accurate.

Meant to put it above ^^

I hope you're right

If gets to Scola’s level I won’t be complaining
