Official Houston Rockets 2013 Offseason Thread: Welcome D12 to Houston!

Houston Rockets ‏@HoustonRockets 7s

After 1, the Rockets lead the Kings 27-26. @JHarden13 showing no signs of rust with 9 points already. @ChandlerParsons with 7.

@TerrenceJones1 getting some early "PT" as well with 4 pts..  Can't really guard DMC though..

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

T Jones sighting

 I like it.

I guess the odd man out is Trob tho

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

Greg Smith sure has been a surprise  Coming outta nowhere to contribute.
I see soo much potential in T-Rob man i hope he puts in alot of work this offseason, dude can really be special.

I also wanna see Tjones atleast get a few mins to play, id rather him take dmo mins. Dmo is way to raw right now he has alot of things to work on man. Not to mention his Defense is pretty bad imo, he is improving tho.

i've been so wonderfully surprised by greg smith's low post game. t-rob and asik could learn a thing or two from him. my favorite thing about t-rob is how "mean" he is. he tried to dunk everything on everyone lol.

Yea Smith has been pretty good and he does have a nice post game like you said.

Trob has that toughness that you want in your PF dude can really turn into a beast if he puts the work in

my man tjones look lost on defense out there and cant grab a rebound for s*** (nor can asik tonight) 

 but I like what i see from him 

 trob? i bet jones outplayed trob in practice... we need an animal (besides beverley) in the low post..someone who hustles, rebounds, sets solid screens, blocks, doesn't have to score lots of points but make an impact on the defensive end.. someone like Faried 

 Having a guy like that will set the tone for our defense, thus creating more fastbreak opportunities. I mean, everyone knows Houston can score, the question left is, can we defend? Once we find that missing piece and then some (and an upgrade/improvement of pg/pf, backup center, a 2 off the bench to give Harden rest), we will contend for a title.. 

 

[Peep Game]

Asik

Parsons (PopIt4Him)

 

[flip escobar]

Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen 30s

Asik dominating for a 2nd-consecutive game. Had 22 in 28 min on Mon. Has11 of his 16 in 5 1/2 min this quarter. Weird that Patterson not in.

 

[markangelo]

Parsons is so niceee.. he's improved his shooting compared to last year.. he bout to get paid though, $6-7M/year for four years would be him 

 

[markangelo]

harden don't play defense for s*** 

 

[flip escobar]

harden don't play defense for s*** 

He's been consistent with that all year, lol..  That should be his next phase of his game that he works on..

ClutchFans.net ‏@clutchfans 1m

After a Jeremy Lin three, Rockets were up 10, but Kings scored the final 5 of the third. 88-83 Rockets heading to the 4th.

 

[Peep Game]

Man this dude T-Jones does NOT wanna go back to the D-League Using his PT wisely. The amount of youth and potential talent from these dudes is incredible.

 

[flip escobar]

Terrence Jones!

  He's earning his paycheck tonight..

 

[flip escobar]

Jason Friedman ‏@JasonCFriedman 48s

That's about as beautiful, swift & sudden a fast break as you'll ever see. Great pass from Harden to Lin who finds Parsons for monster jam.

ClutchFans.net ‏@clutchfans 58s

Chandler Parsons has 8 of his 29 here in the 4th quarter -- he's 3 points away from his career high of 32. 106-97 Rockets, 3:36 left.

Houston Rockets ‏@HoustonRockets 5s

Rockets win! Beat the Kings 112-102 behind 3 double doubles: Asik 19p/10r, Lin 15p/10a, Jones 14p/12r. Parsons led with 29p, Harden added 21.  But Terrence Jones stole the show. Was spectacular in many ways.

 

[blackxme]

So everyone who was calling for T.Jones should be pretty happy tonight. Dude definitely showed something out there tonight.

I'm hoping the Hornets can comeback, doubtful though.

 

[hongcouver604]

Impressive effort by T.Jones tonight, I thought he would've gotten burn earlier in the season given that he had 30 points in the first pre-season game, but of course McHale waits till the end of the season to give him some burn... I like him more than T-Rob, more controlled/polished and more versatile on offense but not as athletic.

I agree that Beard should play some defense, looks like he can give two ***** about defense... Pisses me off when he gets into that iso/hero ball mode, too.

Im hoping GSW wins by more than 8, if they're going to win; otherwise just lose lol.. 

What about this dude Tjones huh ? 

 

[markangelo]

where's delfino tonight?

T Jones

Dude can straight out ball. He goes to the Dleague and damn near shines every game. Dont want to geet overboard but he is exactly the type of player we need at PF. He can already shoot the 3, needs alot of improvement but hes got it, good rebounder and ive seen him make some pretty good blocks in the past. Let him gain some weight in the offseason and dudes gonna be real nice.

We have three raw players with alot of potinteal in T. Jones, Trob, and Dmo

 One of em has to pan out

 

[puglife]

good win. we shoulda beat the kings last time we played them too though. guess I'm just happy we didn't blow it at the end this time. I hope parsons shot is back now and that wasn't just a fluke game. he is gonna be the x-factor in the playoffs.

Chandler's shot has been back for the last couple of games, he's been streaky this season though, he has his cold and hot spells with his shooting..  Needs to be more consistent with his shot though and "Yes" he'll be our "X-Factor" in the playoffs because when he's on with his inside and outside game it makes our offense flow better and not just us always running the Harden iso on offense..  Hopefully his hot shooting stays for the remainder of the season and into the playoffs..
