Neither are ticket holders for this game, apparently

Patterson more so than Scola
But without Scola your offense is a little tougher to run with that group.

But who can he pick and roll with?
I think Scola commands more respect from the big man that helps Lowry break down the defense off the pick.

Parsons work on the boards is great
his drive and effort is so much better than bud.
Seriously, Dalembert just has to catch the ball and dunk.

Anyone else just kind of bored watching these Rockets?
I feel a lot like I’m watching last year with a taller Chuck Hayes. I just feel like we’re cruising for the 14th pick or 15th pick and that I can just replay this season to save me time next year.
Jesus
make some positive contributions or just stfu. We all know you hate this team, the management, the coach, the future, the players, the stadium, the seats, the jerseys, the court, the plane the team flies on…. Just stop watching.
And I’m not bored watching this team grow at all.
by AhForJustOneTime on Jan 17, 2012 7:44 PM CST up reply actions
That's mature.
As everyone beside yourself has pointed out, we like watching the team… Their defense is getting better every game, I think their ball movement and offensive sets have gotten crisper as well. I enjoy watching this team, if you want to cheer for the #1 draft pick I’m sure the Pistons and Wizards have plenty of room on their bandwagon…

It's funny because he roots for the Wizards as well.

Then again it depends on what we do with the ~30 million in cap space we could potentially have.
Also, the trade deadline should be fun.

“Baltimore scored only 13 points on their own drives”
We would have all forgiven Bill if he had said “F U Jacoby” after that, right?
Minnesotan Rockets fan
I dealt with this a lot with the Bills this year.
Do you pin interceptions on a talented secondary or the quarterback making bad decisions. It seems like when Buffalo picked anyone not named Tom Brady it was “the secondary”, other than that it was “bad decision making.”
Get your point but Yates made some big rookie mistakes.
Zoning in on one reciever, not looking off the safety, ect.
by Dmo_Htx on Jan 17, 2012 7:49 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I feel like DBs don't get the credit they deserve (Not named Revis +4 for cheating)
I felt like commentators liked to acquit quarterbacks of blame rather than speak to the skill of a good safety or CB.
Good God if Florence doesn't get his ass cut this year I will punch Buddy Nix in the junk.
I’m hoping they continue to draft smart (Even if Gailey doesn’t call the plays intelligently, seriously, took Jackson a broken leg to take a look at Spiller?).
Yeah, Buffalo needs to take a page out of Houston's book as far as runningbacks go
It is possible to run two RBs that both perform well.
And I got tired of Drayton Florence committing at least 2 pass interference penalties a game
I know, right?
I tip my hat to Foster, he was undrafted too, right? Him and Jackson showed you don’t need to get picked to rip it up. My respect to another “under the radar” back to take the AFC rushing crown from him.
I feel like a good secondary can overrate a pass rush and the reverse.
If you get constant pressure, the QB is gonna make a stupid throw which will make your Safety look good, and if your CBs are locking down their receivers, your pass rush is gonna look good because of all the sacks they are going to get.
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
Agree with that.
What pisses me off the most is when people pick maybe a couple of plays where the db gets burned but fails to mention the other 40 where he had great coverage. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
by Dmo_Htx on Jan 17, 2012 7:53 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I felt that big this year. The games went on and on with no INTs for Byrd and people questioned drop off.
Last year before injury teams ran on him, this year, got his picks and broke up a lot of huge plays. I think Williams, Byrd, and a healthy McKelvin makes a pretty good secondary up here in Buffalo.
Yall have a ton of weapons on offense as well.
by Dmo_Htx on Jan 17, 2012 7:59 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Need a pass rush and second WR this season.
And OLine depth and I’ll be happy. Wouldn’t mind drafting Tannehill either.
I'm sure a bunch of Texans would restructure to keep Williams.
They’re in win-now mode.
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
Between this draft and late performance for the Texans you think it's a do or die?
I ask because I sometimes like to dream that Buddy Nix isn’t just kind of sitting around at One Bills Drive in a diaper letting the NFL pass him by.
I fully believe they are in do or die mode.
The Texans are real, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they entered as AFC Champion favorites next year.
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
I think the Pats still have a lot to say about that.
Plus, if Manning comes back healthy it’s a watch out kind of thing. Texans got two “gimme” games because of Indi’s situation.
They lost to Indy the second time.
So ha.
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
Being an NFL fan is about focusing on your team mainly. It isn't like the NBA.
I could tell you how many interceptions Earl Thomas had, how many tackles K.J. Wright had, or recite the Seahawks schedule back and forth but I couldn’t tell you with confidence the records of any of the teams in the AFC West off the top of my head.

To sign Foster to what he’s worth and Williams. Franchising him would be a big hit in the cap and shouldn’t really be an option. A trades also possible.

Dalembert is playing out of his mind.
Or, alternatively, he’s playing very firmly within his own game.
Look at the shots he's putting up.
Not good selection whatsoever. I hope he doesn’t go cold anytime soon because I’m scared of fadeaways with 20 seconds left on the shot clock after an offensive rebound.

Any update on the NBA's push to require 2 years of college ball or high school separation?
I like 3rd or 4th year college players getting drafted.

So nothing will be set in stone for a while if they do go that way… It’d be nice to see the level of ball in college go up as well.

I can't stand college sports in general.
My friend who’s a big Mormon made me watch the game in which Jimmer was eliminated, and I wanted to tear my eyes out by halfway through. I’m a huge fan of letting kids play after high school.
Minnesotan Rockets fan
I refuse to root for a college team until I go to college.
I’ve known kids who’ve been rooting for UT and A&M since they were like 10. What do they do if they don’t get accepted into those schools?
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
Ouch!
Actually I never rooted for any Big 12 school in high school. In fact, I hated UT and A&M because everyone was always on their dicks when they always underperformed (except VY’s 2005 Rose Bowl).
And my first memory of college basketball is Darvin Hamm at Tech breaking the backboard on a thunderous dunk in the Sweet Sixteen against UNC. So 5-year-old me thought that was soooooo cool.
I rooted for Florida because orange and blue were my favorite colors, and I eventually liked Gonzaga because they always were a Cinderella. But I didn’t apply to any of the schools I mentioned except Tech.

I rooted for University of Washington for a short period of time.
I just really liked Jake Locker though.
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
Fair enough
I really fell in love with Villanova because I liked Kerry Kittles, then I didn’t like them again until after the Lowry years.

Not go to a rival school?
I went to a D 3 school, still root for Syracuse. It’s tough because I look at college ball as 3 talented guys and everyone else as filler and it’s tough to watch.
College Basketball is just kind of bad.
College Football is magical.

So Dwight Howard apparently added the Clippers to his trade list.
Sonicsgate: A movie about how the Sonics were stolen from Seattle.
If I'm Orlando I don't do him any favors.
The Clippers won’t relinquish Blake Griffin for him and that’s really the only guy to structure a deal around. I still like my blow it up but get a star idea (One to snag Rondo).
Orlando's caught in a bad spot with him though...
He’s got a ton of value but at the end of the day he probably won’t resign.. I’m not sure if he has a clause in his contract that he has to accept the trade, but they probably need to move him if they don’t want to be the Cavs for the next 4 years.
by AhForJustOneTime on Jan 17, 2012 8:06 PM CST up reply actions
But I think there is another clause
that says they have to approve any pending trade before it can be finalized… May be wrong though.
by AhForJustOneTime on Jan 17, 2012 8:08 PM CST up reply actions
That's the trade kicker, same thing Bryant has. It amounts to a no-trade clause.
Howard doesn’t have that. He’s just banking on having rapport with the FO by making his demands. It was the same way with Anthony last year. These guys demand a trade and fork over a wish list, it really only serves to screw their current team and rake the receiving team over the coals.
In that case...
trade him to the Wizards for John Wall and see how much fun he has
by AhForJustOneTime on Jan 17, 2012 8:11 PM CST up reply actions
I'm not saying they'd do that trade
but I’d definitely send him somewhere he didn’t want to go if I were Otis.

I think it almost has to happen out of spite.
Swindle the team that will take him on a rental and walk away laughing. Unfortunately the Rockets are one of those teams who would take him on a rental and convince themselves that he’d get warm and fuzzies to stick around.
Dirk has one too. But yeah, Howard doesn’t.

Chris Paul made a long three the other night....he was handed the no.1 play on NBA Top Ten plays.
Even though Lowry does it nightly.

Yeah, NBA top tens are always just superstars

Also, while he wasn’t a pure PG and will almost certainly be surpassed by Paul, I’d still take Iverson and everyone on your PG list over Paul’s career up to today.

A valid argument
But that’s why I stuck with pure point guards. Didn’t want this to get into one of “those” discussions but if you made that argument I wouldn’t protest.

I'd take Paul over Nash, Kidd, Stockton, Robertson.
Robertson was a brilliant player, somewhat overrated because of the era he played in.
Chris Paul’s teams have generally been utter shit, and he’s done amazing things with them. 2nd-best player in the game today, I think.
You’d take one amazing season and one great season from Chris Paul and stack them up against the 40493484 seasons Stockton had?
And no way Paul is #2 in my opinion. Maybe 5. I’d take Lebron, Wade, Durant, Dirk, and maaayyyybbbeeee Kobe over Paul right now.

I think that was a product of our bigs conditioning and
Patrick Patterson being out of the line up… I know McHale is not a guy who likes small ball and shooting jump shots.

Not when Lee goes 1/2 and Bud puts up a near-airball.

I like Greg Monroe
Kinda surprised that the Pistons do, since I don’t think he can play four positions.

Can't believe the kings picked cousins over him though
or that the warriors chose Udoh

Cousins has talent to be the best Center in the NBA behind Dwight Howard.
The Kings made a good choice, but unfortunately Cousins has a huge ego problem.

And that was why they went after Chuck so hard
Which was a brilliant decision. Needed to fix the ego. Who better than Chuckwagon?

Bud was calling for that ball
When K-Mart had it. Then it went to Dalembert, then to Dragic, who dribbled, then finally found him.
