Yes, it's on 51. I have it on Timewarner cable and it looks like [exploitive deleted]. It wasn't even showing picture during the first 3 minutes of the game. Any word on Wells? I thought he was going to play today. Head is back! What the hell is Matt Bullard smoking? He stated the Rockets are going to be better than the Spurs this season. Just one bounce, one stupid foul puts Dallas ahead of SA, and because of that he believes the Rockets are going to be better than them as well. We look very bad in preseason (we can't hit shots). I don't know why he would publicly state something like this.
Man friggin V-Span had 8 turnovers!! This dude needs to stay calm. We had a chance to tie the game with a 3, but he traveled, and next possesion we could've tied it with a 3 and Padgett threw it away. V-Span played bad. Yao had a slightly sprained right ankle. Rockets deserve an A+ for their preseason.
<div class="quote_poster">igotask8board Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> Any word on Wells?

Apparently he didn't think it necessary to sit on the bench either and lend support to the team. I have a bad feeling about this guy.
Rockets lose 90-94 Not a great game by the Rockets. Pros Tmac is looking like himself --> 3-3 from downtown. Cons... Novak was kind of stuggling 2-6 from 3, still not bad though Vspan 8 TOs.... hmmm... Dont think he'll be contributing soon. Head shot 0-10... Yao left the game with a mild sprained ankle. He said if they had practice tomorrow he could do it.
Vspan is an instant turnover machine...JVG gave him a grimacing look after the game when they were leaving the floor....on in case no one knew Dwight Howard = A Beast
^^ I noticed the same thing. JVG was pissed at V-Span after he took too much time on that last 10 second shot, at his turnovers, and his traveling. JVG outta give an asskicking to V-Span for 8 turnovers.
What happened to T-Mac's free throw shooting? He's shot 11-20 in the last two games, which is an almost Shaq-like at 55%. As for Head, taking 10 shots and missing all of them is pretty impressive. Not many players can be that offensively inept.
I am glad evolidiot mentioned our FT shooting. We are sucking real bad at them. We gotta get better at them and for Head, I am not worried about him much since he just came back from a funeral and went to Orlando directly without practice or anything. It was his free day, like Matt Bullard said.
Vspan's actual turnover count should have been 5 because 3 of the turnovers he committed were because the team couldn't get a shot off or they relied on Vspan to get the job done. Luther Head wasn't doing a good job on the shooting. There was one where someone passed to Vspan and he got trapped to the point where when he tried to call timeout he basically had no room and stepped out of bounds. He should never have gotten the ball there anyways. Bonzi didn't play because he was late for the game because his flight was delayed from the funeral he was coming from. He will probably miss 2 games and play against Dallas just because JVG will want him to practice a little.

Remember the previous preseason game VS the Heat? Lol Shaq aired a free throw far right and it was short. Since he didnt want to shoot it short again he banked his next free throw. <div class="quote_poster">TmacGarnett Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Vspan's actual turnover count should have been 5 because 3 of the turnovers he committed were because the team couldn't get a shot off or they relied on Vspan to get the job done.

I wanna see Yao, Tracy, Battier, and Wells all play. Last year, I only saw Yao, no Tmac. This year, hopefully I will see them all

I know he's turnover prone, but JVG doesn't need to get TOO down on him. This is why we haven't had younger players in the past, because Van Gundy doesn't have the patient to let them grow and mature.

It seems like most of his turnovers come when he has to play with the second and third string players on the team.

Vspan can penetrate MUCH easier than Alston and his passes are more accurate. Vspan gets 90% of his turnovers by dribbling to much and getting into tight situations, getting it stolen while dribbling, or keeps ball to long and 24 second violation happens. His talent and offensive ability make him easily a better point gaurd than Luther head. No one really realizes this but Kobe was averaging 6 turnovers for the first half of the season last year, but if he is effective in some point at lesat, I am willing to let turnovers slide. The reason I say that is because even with the turnovers We only lost be 4 while playing the Orlando starters in the second half. If our star players played second half we would have won easily even with the turnovers.
