Rockets: 26 points at halftime

[ShoogarBear]

With Yao AND T-Mac.

Losing to the Griz at home 47-26.

I may have to flip over and watch some of that trainwreck.

Nice job, Gumby.

[boutons]

"watch some of that trainwreck."

no, Pistons/Bulls nbtva seems to be a REAL BASKETBALL game.

How can Hou suck so bad?

[ZStomp]

People overrated HOU..since last year. They don't scare me at all.

[sandman]

Watching the game as we speak. And it is even uglier than it sounds. JVG has been wearing the "JVG Look" all game!

[sandman]

Local broadcasters here in Houston are as big a homer group as there can be. But they are struggling tonight to find anything decent to say. This is just not a good team.

[Leetonidas]

Rockets fucking blow.

[ShoogarBear]

70-48 Griz with 40 sec left in the third.

At one point Houston had 31 points, Yao was the Rockheads leading scorer with 17, and T-Mac was next with 3.

[sandman]

Shoog, you hear in Houston or just like the fact that they are sucking it up right now?

[ShoogarBear]

Nah, I'm in DC flipping to it on League Pass.

[sandman]

Nah, I'm in DC flipping to it on League Pass.

Better ask for some proration back because of this game!
:lol

[ploto]

Houston desperately needs a point guard- a real one.

[Horry For 3!]

My grandpa refuses to watch the Rockets because they are so bad and he has lived in Houston since he was 18 and is a Rockets fan. :lol

[exstatic]

The Mike James trade will go down as one of the most stupid in history. I don't see how the Rockets thought they could trade a real NBA PG for some clown from an AND1 mix tape and come out ahead.

[T Park]

^^^ Right on.

I said at the time it was a horrible trade.

[mavsfan1000]

the rockets suck and I am loving every minute of it. :elephant

[sandman]

the rockets suck and I am loving every minute of it. :elephant

Imagine how much I love it, having to live in this town?

Man, both teams scored 13 in the 2nd quarter. That must have been spectacular to watch.

[sprrs]

whoa...is that a record in the 24shotclock era?

Didn't the Spurs leave some team at 19 or 21 at the half once? I never saw that game but they mentioned it in a game two or three years ago when they held Denver to three points in the first quarter

[T Park]

Yeah Denver, that was in 02 03 I believe.

Dont remember what the score was at the half, but they held em to like 6 at the end of 1 quarter.

[sprrs]

it was three, I still have the article here, doesn't say how many they had at the half though:

San Antonio 99, Denver 68
Nuggets Get Stuck in the Starter's Gate

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 27 (Ticker) -- The Denver Nuggets set an NBA record for futility in the first quarter, then had their three-game winning streak come to a gruesome end with a 99-68 loss to the revenge-minded San Antonio Spurs.


Denver scored just three points in the first quarter, the fewest for an opening period in the shot-clock era. Only the Dallas Mavericks' two-point third quarter in 1997 kept the Nuggets from posting the worst quarter in league history.


Denver's Kenny Satterfield scored two points in the first quarter, while Donnell Harvey had the other. The Nuggets shot 1-of-16 from the field with eight turnovers in the period.


Tim Duncan finished with 20 points, including seven in the first quarter as the Spurs opened a 21-3 lead. Stephen Jackson led San Antonio with 22 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, when all of the starters had left the game.


The Nuggets are averaging 76.5 points per game this season, putting them on track to break the 1998-99 Chicago Bulls' record low of 81.9. Denver has reached the 80-point plateau in just five of 15 games.


Juwan Howard, who scored 23 points in the Nuggets' 85-81 win over the Spurs on Tuesday in Denver, was shut out. Chris Andersen, who went to high school 200 miles away in Iola, Texas, led the Nuggets with 12 points.

If I remember correctly, there was a Spurs-Rockets game in the last two years where the halftime score for BOTH TEAMS was 30-25, with the Spurs ahead.

Deke comes to the Jazz bar I hang out at after a lot of games. He showed up last night and I talked to him for a while. He was super pissed at the game.
