That really was domination on every level.
Aldridge is so soft and we took complete advantage of him. He got frustrated and couldn't even hit his FT's.
They were forced to rely on Gerald Wallace and their third tier players to score, which is a win for the Rockets no matter how you cut it.
Some more observations about the Rockets..
1. Chuck Hayes has become a player. He is not only one of the most respected defensive centers in the league, but he has come so far offensively. He is playing more athletic than he ever has, and he is showing that he is a great passer.
2. Kevin Martin is unstoppable right now. He missed three WIDE OPEN 3's which would have ended the game at halftime.. but other than that he did what he wanted.
3. Kyle Lowry is playing like a top 10 PG in the league right now. He is controlled, making crisp passes that set up his teammates perfectly, and hitting open shots. Cant ask for much more.
4. Buddinger finally looks like hes not looking over his shoulder. He has confidence and he is letting his athleticism take over. Its fun to watch.
5. Where has Jordan Hill gone? I understand that Patterson is the more polished player at this point, but Jordan Hill hasn't looked horrible. I find it strange that he isn't getting ANY minutes. Is he nursing an injury?
