Martin went 11-11 from the line in the first half for 18 points, hopefully he can continue attacking. But more importantly hopefully Lowery keeps playing smart, as he already has 7 assists.

 

Ya great stuff from those two.

 

The bench was just awful that's what I am worried about. They missed Ish quite a bit, Lee couldn't run the point and JT was lost. That bench stalled the offense so bad the starters came in and cleaned it all up.

 

Hopefully this time around the bench shows up.

Scola goes for 35-12, Martin goes for 21 hitting 14-15 from the line, and Lowery goes for 22 with 12 dimes and 6 steals :blink: Very hard to beat us when our top 3 players drop numbers like that while shooting over 55% from the field and 70% from three.

 

Another thing we learned today was that Chase Budinger sucks big balls.

The fans booing McGrady was so uncalled for. He deserved better than that.

 

I don't think it was that bad. The initial boo was loud but as the game went on it virtually went away. I think the fans have every right to let him know that they didn't like the way it ended and he wasn't the most quite person on the entire situation either. It was a constant influx of articles stating his displeasure, and some may not have been true of course but he's still an outspoken guy in the media and IMO it didn't help his cause. But again I thought the Rockets fans went easy on the guy, he said after the game it was nothing compared to Toronto.

 

Chuck Hayes also made a good point before the game when he said during the Rockets history video they play at TC they still show T Mac and pay homage to him. I took the boo's as a "frustration" the same type that Tmac felt through the entire process and not as disrespect to his overall accomplishments as a healthy Rocket.

 

Great night for Scola torching the Pistons, him and Lowry were on the same page all night. Brad Miller's worse game of the season I couldn't believe he air balled a wide open three, we are so spoiled by his good shooting that it came as a shock.

 

Chase Budinger has lost all confidence in his game. He does possess the talent he proved it last year and Adelman kept him out on the court as long as he possibly could to help him get out of that slump and Chase failed. I don't know what he needs but someones gotta get that kid back up and running, confidence is his biggest setback.

 

Also didn't like the whole JT and Courtney Lee combo but it's just one game. Rick was forced to play Lowry 42 minutes.

I was disappointed that Jermaine only played 5 minutes after Rick promised to put him into the rotation. Lee was clueless at the point though.

 

Bud is awful and at a loss of confidence. I'm not sure how the Rockets should look to help him regain some of his confidence, they could send him down to the Vipers and tear it up. However, sending an NBA rotational player to a minor league team could mentally hurt a player as well. Adelman might just have to stick him into games and hope he find his stroke and confidence back.

 

Kevin Martin only played 26 minutes today and we didn't see him at all in the fourth quarter again, Adelman opted to play Courtney Lee instead. Lee is great defensively but I don't understand why we our sitting out our best perimeter threat down the stretch.

 

Two other bits from this game:

-Jordan Hill only saw 5-6 minutes of action

-Battier had a team high of +31 when he was on the court

Jermaine I was kinda glad not to see much of after his first outing, our offense was completely terrible with him in and Lee running point.

 

Sending Bud down to the Vipers would be a bad move imo, he just needs a boost of confidence some how. I thought he actually was going to have a good game as he did hit his first shot which was a three, but it only went down hill from there.

 

Kevin Martin sitting the 4th quarter for the second game in a row is starting to really confuse me. The man put up 21 points in 25 minutes...why should he not get more minutes if he contributes greatly when on the floor?

That was with Lee running the show, I would have liked to see him play with an actual point guard on the floor.

 

I could understand Martin's situation if Lee was some extremely talented top 3 perimeter defender in the NBA but he's not, maybe slightly better than above average.
