Houston is going for maximum chaos by upping the pace as much as possible. I kind of get it, but any strategy of theirs would seem doomed, I guess.

I’ve been a fan of almost all the Rockets picks the past couple years, but this young talent doesn’t seem to be developing too well. It’s still early I suppose, but I think I’d rather be OKC or Orlando right now.

This was not on my preseason list of phrases I thought we’d be saying.

I may have been premature with my “not a good team” comment. But for crying out loud, can we not wait for the last half of the 4th to turn it in?

Monk, who has other player attributes besides scoring, admitted they didn’t take the Rockets as serious as they should have and promised they would be a better team in the next game. He added “I have to shoot better, it’s coming, but I have to do better.”

Thats one of his subtle imprints…admits he needs to play better when he does.

Hopefully the closeness of the game through 3 quarters is a wakeup call and a learning opportunity.

I thought Gordon would have directed the Houston offense in the final 8 minutes or so and get the Kings in a bad foul situation and use that to control the Kings offense. He did not, that surprised me.
