    Sooooo, I’m in the Amsterdam Airport and ran into this tall dude sporting Rockets gear.  I introduced myself and he said his name was Clint.  Man, he was as nice and gracious as he could be.  I told h

Rockets are ballin’

 

Went last night.  Shit was empty in a lot of the upper deck.  People got to start getting on board with this team.  

Pretty slow start by both teams, but the Rockets blew it up.  Got to see Carlisle lose his shit a few times which is always good times.  

Pacers have a blonde assistant coach woman who is 50 yrs old that I would dick down. 

 

I think that may be the first team in the history of the NBA to start a Longhorn and Aggie at same time.  (Unless Deandre Jordan ever started with KD in Brooklyn....probably missing some others, but I don't think it happens often)

I'm not going to lie I did not have the Rockets having the 6th best winning% in the entire NBA after 20% of the season.

The progress we all hoped for when they started allowing lady coaches in men’s sports. 

What’s this floor all about?

they do this stupid shit for the nba cup games.  i detest it.

Rox up 20 at the half.

The IST floors are all epilepsy including garbage 

Also, Rockets look pretty good.

Man this is turning into a really solid team….

The low 3pt % is becoming their superpower.

They don’t need it to win or dominate, and when they are hot they are elite 

so i don't even know how much i care about the nba cup but it feels like the Rockets are going to be guaranteed to win their group if they win one more game thanks to their massive lead in point differential:

also, "sometimes you, sometimes me, always us" is a banger of a team motto.

 

Am I reading this right? They play against Portland twice in a row as a back to back?

It's nice that it's at home, but I don't think I have ever seen that before. Just an unusual schedule choice.

We did it earlier this season with @SA. It's the NBA's stupid way of cutting down on traveling.

Yeah I see that, but there was 1 day rest between the SA games. A back to back in the same city with the same opponent is odd.

I think it's good to cut down on traveling, but it would be a lot smarter to designate a "home week" of hosting 3-4 games, and an "Away week" of travel if they want to do that. The Spurs get to do 3 weeks of away games during their Rodeo Road trip, I'm sure other teams could plan something similar to help balance the schedule.

Nba is ridiculous. Eliminate back to backs. Have the finals in july with zero competition. 
 

They are stupid fucks

I, for one, would like the NBA Cup to go the way of the woolly mammoth. It's import Euro trash.

Ryan Hollins sucks so much ass

This game is AIDS....everyone is sucking, both teams, refs, announcers.

I fucking wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life to watch FVV throw up a nonsense runner 3pt with plenty of time left.

Someone kick him in the balls

Then dumbass gets tossed and almost makes contact with ref by pointing in his face saying "You a bitch" lol

If the Rockets lose to Minnesota and beat Sacramento and Minnesota wins their other game Minnesota would win the group regardless of point differential. The other 3 teams are all fucked if Houston wins another and they will clinch if they beat Minnesota. With all that said I really think the gimmick is dumb

These fucking courts man

This has the flow of a pickup game lol.

Jabari playing like the 3rd pick in the draft offensively and defensively. Dillon and FVV have also had great 1st halves.

Jabari just punked Gobert

didn't tune in until the last few minutes, but was planning on mentioning how Jabari had a very nice end to the half.  Glad to see it was more than even that.

This is Jabari’s block of Gobert in the 1st half:

 

Reed is clueless. He needs to figure out he ain't playing Shithole State anymore and can't half ass shit.

Another shitty game for Jalen Green, the slump continues, and the Rockets fall in love with the 3 point line. Starting 12-22, then going 2-12 as the Timberwolves come back to take the lead.

Tied up with  28 seconds to go.

What a move by Sengun, Rockets up 4 in OT.

11-0 run as the Rockets take command in OT, stopped settling for 3's and attack Gobert in the paint.

Edited by HtownHorn

Alpi fucked around and got a triple double

This team plays hard man; great job after things looked bleak with about 90 seconds left…

3-0 in group play, I think that clinches 1st place for the Rockets.

That was a fun game to watch.

What a gutsy, playoff type win on the road. The way the Rockets closed out that game on both ends of the court was a thing of beauty. All that is missing is consistent production from the 2.

Watching this squad turn defense into offense might be my favorite thing to watch in basketball since 1995. Sengun doing dad driveway shit is a close second.

it was even from the losing end.

 

dilly was the spark  plug and Finch tucked his balls in OT instead of playing the rookie who was +28. instead Jaden Mcdaniels missed about 8 shots.

 

awesome fucking win.  i thought they were toast late in the fourth quarter.  ballsy effort to get that one back after giving it away.

Well I guess if you have to play back to backs on the road in different cities then going to Philly with Embiid, George, & Lowery out is about the best draw you can get in 2024-25.
