Opinion: Rockets Round II: The Empire Strikes Back

13 Jul 2009 04:18:53 PDT

Written by aloneconformist(noreply@blogger.com)
The point is, the Lakers showed they will play dirty to win or NEED to play dirty to win. They ARE cheap shot artists. That's what they do. The Houston Rockets are not and they shouldn't start just because L.A. sets the precedent. Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley summed it up perfectly in what may be t...

Opinion: Rockets drop to 5th seed after loss to Dallas and lose home court

16 Apr 2009 02:19:42 PDT

Written by John
If the Rockets are lucky enough to beat the Blazers in the first round, they would then face the Lakers (their punishment for not beating Dallas Wednesday night), and the only chance they have of winning that series is if Kobe gets hurt before that series would begin.

If for some reason Brooks isn’t the guy who can be the Rockets’ Tony Parker of the future, then the Rockets have Kyle Lowry to groom for those situations.

Opinion: Comments from the Other Side - Rockets

19 Mar 2008 04:51:00 PDT

Written by FLCeltsFan
Here are comments found around the Rockets' boards during their game with the Celtics. The Rockets had an incredible streak and are to be commended for it. There isn't an asterisk on this one either. Yes, the Rockets didn't have Yao but the Celtics didn't have Ray Allen, either. And 10 of those wins were without Yao so it isn't like he just went out. Like the Houston fans, though, I questioned Doc keeping KG on the floor with less than 2 minutes left in the game and up 20+ points. KG is too valuable to the Celtics to risk an injury in garbage time. If the Celtics are in the west I don't think the'd be in the top 5. The record doesn't mean much. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]
