rockets win Stories - The Dream Shake
Rockets/Lakers - Bring on Game 7!!!
And there will be a Game 7. The pressure is all on the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets can play free and easy. There are no expectations after taking this series farther than anyone expected. Here's hoping we see more of Kobe Bryant yelling at Sasha Vujacic. A rattled Lakers team is a beatable...
The Houston Rockets - the most resilient team you will ever meet.
No Tracy McGrady? No Dikembe Mutombo? No Yao Ming? Hey... what else is new? The Rockets steal the ball from the Lakers on the opening possession. Ron Artest (in one of the few instances he actually put the ball in the basket) converts the fast break layup. From there... the Rockets were...
Rockets/Lakers - one team can play better in Game 2. And I'm not talking about the Lakers.
The mainstream NBA media frustrates me. A lot. If you watched the game and (like me) weren't smart enough to put it on "mute" you'd have heard 48 minutes of Doug Collins and the other guy talking about how the Rockets are playing "the perfect game, but the Lakers are only trailing by 3" blah blah...
Rockets/Lakers Game 1: Screw you, Mongolians!
Go away, Mongolians! You are not knocking down our city wall! Yao Ming overcomes a scary moment when he bangs knees with Kobe Bryant. After a few tense minutes, Yao returns to the game and helps the Rockets put away the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1. Final score: Rockets 100, Lakers 92. Yao...
Mr. Mamba... meet Shane Battier and Crazy Pills!
Rockets Win! (I told you Rockets in 6!!!) Bring on the Lakers (and their insane fans)!!!! GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!
Hey, I *told* you Chuck Hayes would be the unsung MVP!
Chuck Hayes with the save of the day. Brandon Roy got the step, but the Chuckwagon held his ground and drew the all-important charge. (I'm sure Portland fans will claim it was a flop... but it wasn't.) Thank you, Mr. Hayes!!! Oh, and nice blocked shot just in case, Shane. Very nice. Aaron...
ESPN (and its audience) finally acknowledge the Rockets. Sort of.
Four road teams won this weekend. The Rockets had the most convincing win of any of the road teams. ESPN, naturally... put up a poll. Good to see the Rockets finally getting attention. Though I'm stunned that "only" 39% of the voters picked the Rockets here. I guess we'll just have to win...
Rockets/Hornets recap - wagging a finger at New Orleans
Yao was out with "flu-like symptoms" for the game. Also known as the flu. No worries though - Dikembe played! Sadly pictures of the finger wag currently unavailable. A wag of the finger to the NBA.com media tonight. Dikembe Mutombo gave us THREE finger wags, with nary a photo of evidence....
Rockets v. Cavs - your mini game recap
What a freakin' awesome game. Cavs led at one point 2-0, then the Rockets decided enough was enough. Battier and Artest lock down on LeBrick... King Nothing finishes with his worst game as a pro (a Rafer-esque 21 points on 21 shots, with 1 rebound and ZERO assists). The only thing I was a...
free throws, ftw
Rockets go 27-28 from the free throw line (damn you, Carl Landry!). Jazz miss 9 of theirs (19-28). Ballgame. Oh, and Utah still sucks. And Tracy? Take your time coming back... Von is doin' just fine in your place. Go Rockets!
