Robert Covington may be long gone from the Rockets (they could use him now I bet), but remnants of their teachings still remain. In this game he exemplifies their offensive strategy perfectly: shoot a lot of threes and draw a lot of fouls. James Harden, get out your notebook.
Covington got off to a fast start tonight, hitting his first five triple tries, stirring within me a feeling that he could possibly break stupid Donyell Marshall’s stupid NBA record of 12 threes in a single game. I shouldn’t have thought that, because every time I do, the player in question fails to even tie it. Mr. Forehead-Wrinkles here only managed one more three the rest of the game, and Donyell Marshall’s stupid name remains in the stupid record books.
