Pelicans @ Rockets (Upset Time) 7pm C

Cousins is going to get a technical in this game. The refs are giving everything to the Rockets. He's going to pop.

Good call. I'd guess he gets ejected before this one is over

Come on Cousins. Absolutely no need for that push. You know your reputation, you're asking for it.

What a damn joke so you don't call a tech on capela for putting his nuts on him but you call a tech on that such crap

Of course he was getting a technical.

To be fair Cousins got slapped in the face there.

Boogie's pick and roll defense is pure trash

That has to be a double T if they're gonna call one

Put Moore in the 3 pt contest

Eric Gordon getting superstar calls in 2017. What a time

Lol how is that a foul!!

Can't just give alleys every play

Disgusting foul

Etwaun Moore has laser sights

Darius also in the 3 pt contest with Moore

Moore MVP sleeper

Is there like, a Rockets rulebook? A different rulebook we need to read for Rockets games? Seems like it

It's mind-boggling how bad the Pels defense is

Jru3

3TWAUN DA GAWD

Man what a game

I actually like the idea of fighting fire with fire against the Rockets.

Eric Gordon took a midrange shot: I can already hear D'Antoni having an aneurysm

So I'm guessing that capela will be allowed to put his legs on opposing players with out a t if that's boogie he's suspended at least 10 games smh

Crazy shooting from the pels, just foul Gordon hard to slow Twinkie boy down.

Gordon didnt get this many free throws in his entire NOLA career

You guess correctly

He jumped into him wth man

Capela has about 10 dunks/layups with no one even near him

That foul might be the most pathetic one tonight.

Lol.

Pels not guarding Eric Gordon or Clint Capela. That's one way to lose

That was goal tending. It was going down.

Erman needs some blame at some point

How are none of these fouls?

I just like how the refs helped them back in the game lol

Goaltending? The Rockets don't concern themselves with such mundane concepts.

Only the Pels could drop 76 in a half and be losing

I feel like the Rockets could do it too.

we shooting 73% from the 3pt line and loosing lol.....capela 16pts and the refs have houston in this game.....

Pels should maybe idk change up the way they "guard" the pick and roll in the 2nd half

It happens. The fact is someone is going to win, and at this point despite the horrendous officiating in their favour, we have as much chance as they do. Second half is another game, and I believe in our guys. We can win this.

do moore have 6 more 3s in him in the second half?...

The most generic, clichéd, cynical, lame shadow of a team worth actually caring about.

I would certainly second that.

There will be a split between casual attention deficit disorder fans who probably enjoyed that mindless chuckery, and peeps who actually like the sport of basketball. The Rockets are approaching the old Paul Westhead systems, or the Grinnell Arseneault "System".

If so, I think that would tie an NBA record

This is horribly coached team on defense. I've never seen a team concede so many points on a pick-and-roll in my life. Time to clean house.

Throw the baby out with the bath water?

But you're somewhat right, almost 30 games in and the defense is getting worse somehow. That's super concerning

He says to the team dueling the NBA's best/hottest team on their home floor on the second night of a back to back... ???

But yes, I do not remotely believe in the defensive coaching at all, not do I believe that Gentry's pace fascination is the way to ever really lock in on defense for a big man oriented team.
