Houston Rockets Thread - Preseason vs Spurs (Friday)

[Peep Game]

Still amazed we were able to keep TJ. We basically gave up guys who were in our steady rotation (though I think both Johnson/KPap could've flourished with legit chances) and Prig, who was only in rotation due to Bev being down.

This is an awesome pickup because you gave up nothing. it's a gamble but they finally got the second playmaker they desperately needed. Lawson just needs to get his **** together but Morey coming through again

I think Ty gone be alright. When it rains, it pours. He's known to be active in these streets with the partying/whatnot (but so is Harden and a host of NBA guys). His situation never got this bad till the relationship with the Nuggets went way south which is all mostly recent. Winning/good situation should turn this all around for him.

I wonder what rotations McHale is gonna run though. Probably experiment through the season

[polosanddunks]

This is NOT good Rocket fans!!!!!!!!!!!! The last thing this team needs is a dude who's head isn't on straight

Nuggets president Josh Kroenke details team’s troubled relationship with Ty Lawson

Hopefully Morey has a life coach waiting on him when he gets here.

Even if Lawson sucks for us or never plays a minute, we didn't give up anything of value

[Peep Game]

Nick Johnson is gonna further develop and be back in a Houston uniform in 2017

i doubt it. he's not gonna get a fair chance at playing time anywhere. mudiay and jameer nelson in front of him. no chance to develop his game. he's a shooting guard who can't shoot, in an undersized point guard's body with some springs.

i hope he does well though.

I hope this isn't true. Even with very limited PT I don't want Boozer in a Rockets uniform

Hope Smith's production can get seamlessly replaced

Here's a bit of a summary for the 2015/16 schedule. Apparently we have 17 back to backs, which more than likely is the highest in the league. These are the Rockets, so that doesn't surprise me at all.

Here's the full schedule release

Once we get into preseason and have the final roster set, that's when I'll make a new thread

 

[daruma]

thought those jerseys were real.. anything is better than our jerseys right now.

Talk of Markieff wanting out of PHX, maybe to the Rockets. If we land him, look out.
