Stevie Johnson drops gamewinning TD. The way the was in the press conference after wards makes it the worse.

Huge game for us if we want to stay in the race. If we lose to Croyle.......

His name is Sasha not Swish. I dont know if this is possible but can you drain your hand? If it is I think it might help Kobe.

His first half play was nothing less of amazing he was attacking the rim scoring when he could and kicking it out when he could not. He only had one assist closing the first but should have had aroung 4-5 as Martin did find Battier open who missed a couple of shots and Scola also also missed one and got fouled on the other. In the second he was subbed in at the 6 minute mark and continued to do the same as he found open Lowery outside who made the smarter play twice swinging the ball to open shooters for open shots; all started by Martins drive and kick. Second half it was much of the same but he did cool down a bit missing a couple of open shots. He also did not play much in the 4th as the game was well out of hand by then.

A win is a win even if it was against the Cavs. Battier played well as he played smart and shot the ball well when he did shoot, as he went for 16. Scola and Lowery also played well as Scola had a double double (14-14) and Lowery tooks smart shots and found players when they were open recording 6 dimes. Miller almost recorded a double double, but what I really liked out of him tonight was his passing as he made some great one tonight. Budinger finally got a good game *thank god* but then again he really could not have gotten any worse Martin I dont even need to talk about, he played a beautiful game outside of the two open theres he missed consecutively. I will take 40 points off of 19 shots anyday.

Martin cooled off a little in the third but still has a chance for 50. Please dont bench him for the entire 4th Rick.

Old Man Battier has really showed up to play today, as he has 16 already for us.

I was going to say that same thing but did not because I did not want to jinx it. Hopefully you didn't. <_<

Kevin Martin is having himself a ball game, as he has 32 points at the half. EDIT: We would have a more than an 8 point lead if someone can contain Jamison tonight.

Kevin Martin goes for 22 in the first Hopefully Hayes is ok, as he has not come back from the locker room yet after being kicked in the nuts by Mo Williams on a drive.

Kevin [expletive]ing Martin is flat out splashing right now! 16 already in the first.

Scola is going to have his hands full tonight against either Jamison or Vareajo. Both already have a combined 11 points in the first 6 minutes.

Haha how did I not see that topic?

Surprised.....I was expecting a bigger name/more experienced coach to get the job not a coordinator even if he is was Texas.

Never seen that before, also curious to know what that is.

Felt like posting some Rocket Stats. http://i54.tinypic.com/o6ctg6.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/2dgjcbo.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2a94h76.jpg

Battle of the craps! Who ever can take the stinkier [expletive] wins this one.

http://i56.tinypic.com/261p9vt.jpg Dec 10 @ MIL L 91 - 97 23 PTS 5 - 13 FGM-A 1 - 4 3PM-A 12 - 13 FTA-M Kevin Martin scored 23 points against the Bucks leading the Rockets and a point behind the game leader (Bogut - 24). He played well but it was in no way a perfect game has he did miss a couple of wide open shots and a couple of shots that were not wide open but still should have been made. In the first he played 9 minutes and and scored 9 points, but for some reason he was benched for the next 12 completely cooling him down and taking him out of rythem on the floor. The Rockets as a team started off very slow, but fortunately Martin was able to get into rythem and was able to keep us in the game scoring 9 points and was subbed for a break when we were down by 2. Fourth he once again was sat for over 7 minutes, and was put into the game when it was a bit to late and we were down double digits. Hopefully Rick will learn not to sit him for huge periods of time.

You would pick one of our worst games to watch and write about. Have never thought about that but it could work as Brad Miller is the slowest player in the league laterally. That is the perfect paragraph to describe us. Well done Mr.Blasco, it was a good read.

After all the reading i have done for finals the last couple of days no way i read this right now, maybe some time tomorrow as I am curious to read what Mr.Blasco has to say.

There was a point in the game for me also where I was glad that Lowery was not getting flopping calls hopefully he will start to stop flopping so often and only do it occasionally where he has a better chance to get the foul call. and yes please send Bud to the D league at this point it would do nothing but help him. Come to think of it sending him down might actually be our plan since we have called Patterson back up.

Consistency. When we all start showing up consistently that is when we will start winning games like these. I dont like blaming particular players for the loss but tonight I feel like i have to. Kyle Lowery 4-12 11 pts and 3 dimes 2 turnovers. I completely blame him for the loss tonight, the numbers don't show how poor he played tonight. For the first 47 minutes he was 2-10 5 points with nothing but bad plays. I don't know how many times the thought he could drive right in to Bogut and score. Every time we were gathering some sort of momentum he would [expletive] it up by a bad shot or a late/bad pass. If we could have got an average game out of him tonight I believe that we would have won, even with Bogut killing us on the post and glass. Scola and Battier also did not have the best of games but at least they were playing smart out on the floor. Martin and Lee kept us in the game as they both played well. Budinger flat out sucks. EDIT: I also hated how Martin was sat down for 12 minutes(+ quarter break) in the first half. After sitting that long, every player get colds and has to warm his legs back up to get into the flow of the game. Terrible coaching move by Rick.

I think its time for Taylor to have a seat and Martin to come in. Or does Adelman not plan on playing Martin again in the fourth?
