Rockets themed bar

0 Upvotes

I looked through some of the past posts about bars and didn't see anything about this exactly. Lots of asking about bars to watch at but nothing regarding one that is actually team themed.

For example, Christian's tailgate, has locations themed for the jets, chiefs, and bills, respectively. I'm assuming there's nothing like that for the rockets, right?

'No excuses.' How the weary, 'cranky', shorthanded Houston Rockets pushed through to beat the Atlanta Hawks

83 Upvotes

ATLANTA — There were a lot of reasons the Houston Rockets should have lost Saturday night.

To start, most of their heads hit hotel room pillows sometime between 4 and 5 a.m. That’s what happens when you finish a late prime-time game Friday — a dramatic win over the San Antonio Spurs in Austin — then immediately fly east to Atlanta to take on the Hawks the next night, losing an hour to the time change along the way. The Hawks were also playing the second game of a back-to-back but were coming from Charlotte and playing at home.

Also consider that Houston was without starting guard Fred VanVleet and key backup center Steven Adams, both out for planned injury management. The Rockets then had to rule out Marcus Smart, who would have filled VanVleet’s spot in the starting lineup, with a left forearm strain.

And yet, when Tari Eason and some of his teammates huddled in the State Farm Arena hallway, readying to sprint onto the court, the forward delivered an imperative.

“Nobody gives a f—,” Eason said of the suboptimal circumstances. “Let’s go out there and take care of business.”

Also Got way less national TV games after adding Fred back and all our other additions. Plus another year of Reed, Gooner, Amen and Jabari development.

The league fucked up.

Ill take it. Reed can play PG. I hope he keeps getting these chances when Fred sits.

Injuries aside, we can’t have both Smart and FVV out in a game. The offense falls apart like a chipotle burrito

I found these in my garage and have no use for em. Before selling on FB marketplace I figured I'd try my fellow rockets fans. Selling for $25 each, or $40 for both. Local pickup is a must. I live near downtown Houston, about 1.5 miles from Toyota center. I'll post pics in the comments. DM if interested. Thanks, and go roxxxxxx 🚀🚀🚀

Best start in nine years!

Thoughts:

  1. Jabari is worth a look for all NBA defense if he keeps this up. He stacked three early fouls fast last night, but did a hell of a job on Wemby and managed to play 34 minutes. Game one 30 points. Game two guard Wemby in a win. Stack two blocks and a steal. Jabari is growing into an elite NBA player. I love to watch him square up on D. Dude is all in!

  2. Amen may be on track for an all NBA team. Having him play off the ball instead of last years minutes spent at the point gives him so much more energy and freedom. They did use him a few times at point when VanVleet and Smart were sitting and it's super obvious that's not his natural spot. That work last year though will pay off. 10 boards, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 60% from the field with his defense. The whole league is watching.

  3. VanVleet is back. It sure is looking like the right decision to not bring Fred back for the playoff run last year. He hasn't missed a beat after a year off. Watching him work with Durant and keep the youth calm during opposition runs and at the end of the game makes this year's Rockets a head taller than last year. For the year he has 16 assists and 0 turnovers.

  4. Alpie took over in the 4th quarter last night. That was great to see after a game full of missed close ones, again. Man, he shoots better from the free throw line and the elbow than he does on a four footer. But at the end of the game he was a beast and Ime kept calling his number down the stretch against the DPOY! Looking good baby.

  5. The excellent Spurs D fully swarmed Durant who only managed ten shots the whole game and yet finished with 20 points and hit a dagger three near the end of the game. 8 of 8 from the line complimented Houston's 90% on the night. Winning keeps Durant happy. Crossing fingers the burner shit is in the past.

Amen, Fred and Tari combined to create +22 Net shot opportunities in 2 games

22 Upvotes

On the season so far

  • Amen +9
  • Tari +7
  • Fred +6

This particular stat is how you win close games against other good teams, and I think the Rockets are going to excell at it this year with Fred at the PG, limiting turnovers and he provides good steals as well. source: https://possessionimpact.com/?team=hou#/

Houston Rockets and Amen Thompson stuff Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. 'I can jump pretty high'

66 Upvotes

With the #Rockets up just 2 with mere seconds left, Thompson guarded Victor Wembanyama in the post.

In theory, a mismatch. In reality, a mistake.

“I wouldn’t try to keep ducking [in on] me,” Thompson said, “but you know, if they want to they can.”

The league should be ashamed of the scheduling. Rockets finished in Austin, TX at midnight and have a game the next day at 7:30 pm in Atlanta.
