Was K-Pap's ankle injury even real :lol

? I don't remember it being so severe enough to be out for so long.

About as real as Randy Bullock's groin injury.

good to see Superman back

hopefully this team can stay healthy

basketball gods, please bless us rockets fans with healthy players, PLEASE

Looked like a wash early on. Stoked our guys buckled down and got us back in this. D12 looks spry and we got ourselves a helluva ballgame coming up in the 2nd half. Give Ariza credit for balling out of his mind in the 2nd quarter and shutting down AD. Great adjustment by Munster McHale. Beard pick and roll with D-Mo is money tonight. Just need to cut down on the turnovers and have a few 3s fall and we got this.

Terry running towards the Pelicans basket out of control reminded me of something Lin would do.

markangelo · Mar 25, 2015

GG fellas

I wonder why we don't post Dmo more often, he def. won this game for us

Good to see Howard back

Harden doing work as usual #MVP

for real

Props to McHale for actually game-planning and making adjustments. They seemed to be seamless too, instead of them happening by accident or desperation.

Dwight did look good in that limited time, and you could already sense the increase of defensive intensity with him simply being on the floor. Ariza & D-Mo tonight :hat

that's the D-Mo we saw awhile back. Dude was just eating in the paint. Ariza was a stud on both ends, dude came up big.

Terry & Prig :x :x....i mean, Prig played good defense and had some nice passing, but neither these two guys should have to start. I'd still give it a go with Nick Johnson the rest of the way and have Terry/Prig in relief.

every Pelicans L is big. We can get a 2015 lottery pick out of this. besides last year, this should be one of the better drafts in recent history. might be top heavy though

Who should we realistically be trying to target? or is trading it inevitable?

Your right about that and I think we should keep this pick. We need the Pelicans to keep losing. I dont even know this year because its a stacked draft

Check out that terrible last play again.

The ref actually moved out of the way so Cunningham could get to the ball. I've seen home cooking with the time keeping before. I've seen a toe to half a foot out of bounds when stealing the ball from someone. I have never seen a player literally long jump out of bounds, run around and save it with no whistle. I mean, look at this nonsense!

jpzx · Mar 26, 2015

That's horrible. It doesn't look to me like he's moving as a result of Cunningham coming at him (watch it once more, see what you think) more that he's just following Cunningham as he attempts to get to the ball. I don't understand how he didn't realize he was out, due to the proximity between him and Cunningham through simply peripherals.

my biggest beef was that the clock operator stopped the clock because they thought it was gonna be an out of bounds. clock froze with .3 left.

Skip Bayless [emoji]10004[/emoji] @RealSkipBayless Follow

Dwight Howard plays only 16 minutes in return, mildly complains about it, but Harden continues to flow, Rockets hold on at New Orleans.

JaBaeveon Clowney @iBrand0n300

@DwightHoward this clown Skip Bayless tweeted that you complained about your mins after the game... **** is ridiculous

Dwight Howard [emoji]10004[/emoji] @DwightHoward Follow

@iBrand0n300 when. I didn't complain. He just wants some drama.

Skip is such trash. If he knew what he was talking about, he would've known that Dwight was feeling good and wanted to stay in the game when he was being taken out. Skip's a ******* *****

Peep Game · Mar 27, 2015

D-Mo has a sore back, so josh Smith is starting.

Hmm

... Cause DMO carried us last game?

lolz

Peep Game · Mar 27, 2015

****, just saw that D-Mo basically won't be doing anything bball related for 1-2 weeks. these injuries are ridiculous

markangelo · Mar 27, 2015

GG fellas,

really liked Terry tonight

Beard balling as always

Howard/Jsmoove

Peep Game · Mar 27, 2015

Everay boday boawlin' :hat

Dwight looked fresh as ever, minus the turnovers Smith looked pretty flawless. Harden was in usual MVP mode and surprisingly looked pretty fresh too. Prig finally made a shot :eek
