Remember that Wafer guy though?![]()
This Rockets team play with so much heart. If it were not for Mcgrady's drama, their fans would be the happiest fans in the league, despite of their win-loss record.
Respect.

You mean Vujacic's fan club member #27? I heard he's going to Memphis.
I have no sympathy for the Lakers. And I'm pretty sure non Lakers agree. A lot of teams share arenas with NHL teams. That doesn't mean . The Mavs share the AAC with the Stars. And let's not forget that the AAC has concerts there too. The Lakers are the NBA's darlings right now. Plain and simple.
stat doesnt mean . just like per and hollingers power rankings
Donkey, gettin' his precise on.
For the record, the Rockets win-loss record is pretty respectable. Having the hardest schedule in the league yet standing 5th in the west with over 40 million dollar on the bench.
Yer adorable.^
If T-Mac comes back and can take Ariza's place, play like T-Mac of old, then the Rockets will be even better. Ariza needs to come off the bench. He's not a go to scorer.
Or home/road games.
he will take shots away from landry. if he just plays defense in the second unit he is fine but his scoring makes him valuable. if he doesnt do it its not enough
yea and Madam Promfrey can give Yao some mending potion so he can play in tommorrow's game
Now #8 because of Minnesota.
Adelman rips league for ‘ridiculous’ schedule
Houston Rockets coach Rick Adelman criticized the NBA on Monday for setting up an “utterly ridiculous” schedule for his team that includes four back-to-back games over the next two weeks.
The Rockets face Detroit at home on Tuesday, then must fly to Denver to play the first-place Nuggets on Wednesday. They visit Dallas on Friday and return home to face Oklahoma City on Saturday—then have to play two games on consecutive nights twice more during Christmas week.
“We have a horrendous stretch here,” Adelman said. “I don’t know if the league really understands that they gave us four straight back-to-backs. It’s awful.”
Houston plays the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Dec. 22 and Orlando on the road on Dec. 23, followed by road games against New Jersey (Dec. 26) and Cleveland (Dec. 27).
“It’s utterly ridiculous,” Adelman said. “But that’s the schedule we have, it’s just the way it is and we’re just going to have to respond to it.”
Adelman said the schedule gives his team little time to practice, and even less time to spend with their families for the holiday.
“Every team should have a chance where they’re home a little bit,” he said. “We have no chance. This is the most ridiculous schedule I’ve ever seen.”
The Rockets are 5-0 in the second games of back-to-backs this season, but 1-4 in the first games. They have 10 road games in December, but by the All-Star break, they will have played 26 road games and 25 at home.
Pop & Adelbrained showin' their asses.
we already had the hardest schedule to begine with but now 4 straight back to backs wtf
I like it though, mroe games to watch in fewer time but man...no nationally televised games and this....wtf is this league thinking. Stern is one brute ass mother er.
Consider it a blessing in disguise. After this month is over, it's smooth sailing. The Suns are in a very similar situation, after playing 16 of their first 24 games on the road.
nuggets had 3 straight road b2b games (6 games total) after playing the first 2 at home.
I am pretty sure Stern wants to give his baby team a nice home heavy schedule to start whilst he makes sure other contenders in the West get the shaft.
The NBA - where Stern and Kobe sex happens
correction its 9 B2Bs in december alone!!![]()
![]()
The Rockets have 5 B2B's in December. Which is still a lot...
We have a ridiculous amount of back to backs, and the strength of schedule doesn't even take b2bs into account.
I guess that's what we get for being the underdogs, David Stern writing us off and putting us last in everything.
Just stay humble & hungry, like the Suns.
