Houston Rockets – Page 40

Terrence Jones 16 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/8/2013)

The Rockets are said to be searching for a stretch 4 for trade. It makes sense when you have a dominant (or potentially dominant, anyway) center and a star shooting guard. Maybe Ryan Anderson? Ersan Ilyasova? That’s about all I can think of. But do they really need a new one? They already have Terrence…

Omri Casspi 16 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2013)

Here’s a question for you to turn over in your mind: does Omri Casspi ever have good performances while the game is close? It seems like every time he’s done good the margin while he was doing it was pretty high. It’s like he can only perform when there’s no pressure on his shoulders. He…

Francisco Garcia 21 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)

“Hey, great game Francisco,” James Harden said after the game. “It must be really cool to play so close to your home fans in Mexico.” Francisco looked irritated. “Dude, I’m from the Dominican Republic. Not Mexico.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever, same thing. Listen, my mom is looking for a great enchilada recipe to impress some guests,…

Terrence Jones 18 Points/10 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/23/2013)

Is Terrence Jones the long-term answer for the Rockets at the power forward position? Ask Omer Asik, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris or Donatas Motiejunas, and they’ll tell you the answer: no. The long-term answer was supposed to be Dirk, but that didn’t quite work out. So now McHale plays whomever he can find for the…

Aaron Brooks 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2013)

With James Harden out indefinitely with a sprained beard, who better to step into the “shoot a ton of threes” void than Aaron Brooks? The Rockets’ other players have too much of a conscience, but Brooks hardly gets any minutes at this point. If he shoots like a maniac, what’s McHale going to do, limit…

Terrence Jones Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2013)

Terrence Jones only played in 19 games last year as a first round pick for the Rockets. While that team didn’t really have a shortage of power forwards, they did have a shortage of what could be called “starter-quality” power forwards. But still, Jones couldn’t get any minutes. This year’s Rockets team is presumably better…

Donatas Motiejunas 12 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2013)

I hope you guys enjoy these highlights. Because once Asik comes back you aren’t going to get to see any more D-mo. He must really, absolutely, literally not play any defense at all. Because his offensive skills should be enough to earn him at least a little playing time. Even the Rockets’ announcers stay stuff…

Chandler Parsons 23 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2013)

I must admit, I liked the previous iteration of the Houston Rockets a lot better than the current version. The old Rockets were underdogs, played like maniacs, and shot tons of threes. The new Rockets have Dwight Howard. Talk about a bad fit. They should have just grabbed Ryan Anderson or something and called it…

Omri Casspi 19 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (11/4/2013)

Okay, so last time I did highlights of a player from Israel, I made some comments about the Jewish people that could be construed as insensitive. Whoops! I promise not to do that this time. The lines that divide us – race, religion, nationality, a myriad others – could so easily be eliminated through understanding…

Omer Asik 17 Points/14 Rebounds Full Highlights (4/29/2013)

With Harden seemingly getting worse by the game (10 turnovers, #SMDH), the Rockets are needing other players to step up. Players like Chandler Parsons and Omer Asik. Is this the deadliest white tandem in the league? Probably. It would be even better if Asik could hit his free throws. He started off the season much…
