HOUSTON ROCKETS Thread '14/'15 - Offseason - Picks (+ Jason Terry)

[do work son]

I can't stress how badly we need to win these 5 games before the all star break, especially with San Antonio hurt and struggling

 

[markangelo]

Cavs, Suns, Bucks, Wolves, Wizards before All Star break

I see the Suns as a trap game 

 

Hope I'm wrong

 

[do work son]

Wouldn't call the suns a trap game because I think they're legit lol. Ran Indiana outta the gym twice in one week

who would've thought this prior to the season hey? 

But I think they'll fall off the playoff race in the second half of the season

 

[Peep Game]

Y'all check the West standings? Man, we really do need these 5 games cause teams can get shuffled around pretty quickly. It'll suck for the above .500 teams that end up 12th and get left out, while a 4th place East team will be under .500

 

[markangelo]

Ill be pretty disappointed if we can't get into the top 4 spot in the West 

Being fifth seed wouldn't be too bad if Portland gets that 4th seed; they're the only team that we might be able to knock off in the first round (assuming they not fall off)..Clippers? no thanks…Spurs? hmmm maybe, I'd sill put a Popovich ran team over a Mchale ran team…OKC? Durant…

 

[do work son]

i honestly think if we take advantage of our schedule and the spurs stay relatively unhealthy, we can catch and replace them as the 3 seed

 

[Peep Game]

Yea, even though we swept the Spurs, I'm iffy on a series where Pop can make adjustments that McHale can't. But I still would have some confidence in that series. OKC? Nah. GSW? Yep. Clips? As of the last two asswhoopings...NOPE

 

[Peep Game]

Interesting article. Just from the title I just immediately said "NO" though

[Peep Game]

It's the Cavs, and the Rockets are at home. No Varejao, and Harden is back. Let's not make this difficult

 

[markangelo]

Idk a player that gets blown by every time more than Harden…Geez, why can't he stay in front of his man instead of gambling and doing that stupid wrap around steal attempt..

 

[markangelo]

J lin trip dub watch:

1 reb 2 ast shy...

@hongcouver604   celebrating right now 

 

[hongcouver604]

Of course McHale takes him out with 6 mins left in the 4th, SMFH. It's clear that McHale doesn't like Lin and has no faith in him...

 

[markangelo]

^ 1 ast left 

 

 

[markangelo]

@hongcouver604  

 

[markangelo]

GG fellas

this one was for @hongcouver604   

 

[hongcouver604]

^ . Red pockets, a JLin triple double and a W on CNY? It has been a good day.

 

[Peep Game]

Jeremy Kidd

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

J.Lin been balling 

Hopefully he keeps up this type of play for the rest of the season

Was really getting tired of him playin like a bum

 

[jewbacca]

Just looked at the box score...

Pat Bev: 41 minutes, 10 rebounds, 8 assists... and 0 points.

Not sure if serious or typos on ESPN.com lol

This is the only time I don't mind guys playing a lot of minutes....when they have the next 3 days off. Look at the injuries and DNP-CD's though :x That's damn near a normal McHale lineup. Hopefully there's a Parsons update, cause he went out sort of early and only played 19 minutes instead of 43

 

[do work son]

Jeremy Lin. For as much as I criticize you, congrats on the big game. Hopefully him and asik can solidify our bench.

 

[markangelo]

Hopefully him and asik can be packaged for a solid piece or pieces

It's inevitable. Zero chance we pay either of those guys 15 mill
