^Will watch

Asik breakin boys off real bad

look at 10 seconds, who's the first guy getting off the bench to applaud the dunk. look.

 

[Peep Game]

Oh **** Hmmmmmm, well well Asik, Dwight's fully backing you and you wanna leave

 

[do work son]

Oh **** Hmmmmmm, well well Asik, Dwight's fully backing you and you wanna leave

also, on a much smaller note. the first game asik came back, when he got subbed out, him and dwight walked right by each other and somewhat bumped shoulders. no handshake. i have no idea what it means, but i think asik needs to stop being a baby,

our chemistry has been great recently. really looks like they're making an effort to get dwight involved as much as possible. playing inside out.

 

[polosanddunks]

Asik still being a baby because Dwight chose to come to Houston? and he takes it out on him. cmon bruh

 

[markangelo]

Asik needs to stop being selfish and look at it in a different perspective.. I mean, with him backing up Dwight, we can be a really dangerous team… 48 minutes of rim protection 

 

Great screens for Lin/Brooks (whoever comes off the bench)… I still hold my position of saying that he's the x-factor of this team come playoffs 

 

[puglife]

I wish Asik would accept and be happy with that role as well, but I feel for him as well. He came here to start. He had a great first season with us, but he's still got the rest of his career to consider. If he backs up Dwight and gets lost behind him playing like 10 minutes a night, he's not going to get paid as much next contract as he would have had he been given the opportunity to start somewhere this season and next.

Think of the millions he's potentially losing out on because of this. That being said, I wonder how awkward the whole situation is for all the players knowing he doesn't want to be there, but is.

back up players always get overpaid to go play for other teams. that's how he got his first deal here anyways

the only thing hurting his future money is his attitude

 

[puglife]

i dunno...was anyone else willing to pay asik a good amount other than us? i'd heard of asik before last season, but never getting as much praise as he did last year and being mentioned among some of the top big men in the league.

just saying it's not always guaranteed and something to consider from his perspective that he could be thinking about.

he's not currently worth what we're paying him. i think we have to try and move him and make room for chap's salary. we can find a serviceable big man somewhere that can fill in for 10 minutes a game. i may change my mind about that as he finally starts playing more and improving, but all i can think about right now is how he hasn't done anything for us up to this point this year.

 

[statis22]

For what Asik gave us last year hes actually underpaid. For 3 years his deal was friendly for him & us. At the of the day I think his agent told him to be a professional even though he's not getting his way. I mean he walked out on the team & refused to play at times but he sure as hell wasn't giving his checks back either. And I'm pretty sure his teammates know the deal and still support him regardless of his situation. I think we just look for stuff to think he can actually be a locker room cancer.

Three things to watch in Wednesday night’s game

1. Full of surprises: Washington dropped to 25-26 with Tuesday night’s 92-89 loss at Memphis, but that record can be deceiving. The Wizards have shown they are capable of beating the best. They opened February with a 96-81 victory over Oklahoma City. Last month, they beat Miami 114-97.

2. A balanced attack: The Wizards are averaging 23.1 assists per game and have six players averaging double digits in scoring. The Rockets will have to respond defensively to the all-around effort.

3. Keep your foot on the gas: The Rockets have won a season-high six consecutive games and are looking to make that seven before the All-Star break. Their emphasis this week has been to not let up. Coach Kevin McHale has stressed that teams can get lazy before the break and said he doesn’t want to see the Rockets become one of those teams.

We're beating teams we should be beating, so let's keep this up

This is how I feel watching that

[do work son]

why are the rockets intent on giving me a heart attack?

 

[puglife]

Gotta turn these 18 point leads into 30 point blowouts so we can rest the starters

 

[markangelo]

Home Court advantage would be HUGE 

We want Clippers to win against POR tonight right? 

 

[markangelo]

Gotta turn these 18 point leads into 30 point blowouts so we can rest the starters

And so I can win some dough 

Had the rockets won by 9, and Miami win by 2, I would've won $800 smh

 

[do work son]

wouldn't it be nice to have a player like ariza again

 

[Peep Game]

wouldn't it be nice to have a player like ariza again

For a box of Ritz Snack Crackers coming off the bench, hell yea.

This team is something man. I always joke around on twitter saying we have to be up by 50 just so we can win by 4. Looks like reality Great way to head into the All Star break with a win, instead of a loss followed by a lengthy layoff putting a damper on the festivities.

#3 seed

Isn't Omer Asik that guy who is scared to even dunk the ball? I vividly recall him awkwardly laying up shots instead of dunking in last years playoffs. Truth be told he backed up Jokaim. He's backing up Dwight. He's exactly where he should be.

He cant or doesn't know how to finish at the rim consistently
