These refs were definitely told to have OKC win. I've never seen a more biased team of refs. This is the only thing keeping the NBA from really exploding in viewership. Too many games where the refs dictate the outcome.

Been that way forever. Who you are completely determines which way the calls go.
Perfect example: that defender was obviously still moving. There are a dozen players in the league who would have automatically had that called as blocking, but Thompson didn't have a chance.
Shai starts 1-8 so the refs decide to start bailing him out

Meh. He's just a good player. The smoothest game in the league. I love watching him play.
He's great, but I feel like 3 of the fouls called for him were bogus. Meanwhile, Amen can't draw a foul to save his life because he isn't a household name
That 3 SGA hit over Jalen was just nasty work though

OKC is on another level tonight. Would love to have 7 games against them to see how it shakes out.
Ref bias or not, great physical game. Our tournament showing was a success. Just need a 3pt shooter (or Reed to start earning minutes and hitting 2-3 per game)
Hard to be mad at any team with Caruso on it. Hope we can get em in the playoffs.

Love Caruso, but Dort and Hartenstein are dirty ass players.

Then what is Brooks?!

A Saint I say!
Can you still park in the Tundra Garage and pay on site or is it passes only now? It has been a long time since I have used the garage as I usually just park in the street, but we are taking my little one to her first Rockets game on Thursday night and I want to be as close as possible. TIA.
Have yourself a third quarter, Jalen Green. 22 points in the third and 30 for the game.
Good win and nice to see Jalen play well. Now let's see it with some consistency.
Rockets starters scored 111 points last night. New Orleans scored 113 points total.
Major Rockets move today. Tilman Fertitta will be heading to Italy as the U.S. Ambassador.

Any young Italian stars coming into the league soon? Are there any rules against blocking someone's green card if they don't sign favorable terms with the Rockets?

Welcome to the board, proven basketball fan with no intention of steering the thread into unrelated discourse!
Rockets battling back from being down big in first half.
Getting a little sloppy at the end here...back-to-back unforced turnovers.
...and then forced one on Toronto's inbounds pass.
Both teams with 21 turnovers.
Both teams with 21 turnovers.
Ending was pretty silly but got the four point dub. Dillon Brooks with a game high 27.
Well turned on the game to see the good buys up on Charlotte 73-49. Charlotte rocking 15 and 16 point first and second quarters.
No Dillion Brooks tonight means a start for Amen. He's got 15 points, boards, 2 assists and a steal in 24 minutes.
Currently the quartet of VanVleet, Sengun, Smith and Thompson are outscoring Charlotte 57-49.

When is reed going to become our sharp shooter
I'm convinced he can't actually shoot. If he was as good as we thought there would be all kinds of videos of him hitting 20 3s in a row in practice.
20-9 after 29 games, on pace for 57 wins
Last year, 15-14 at the this point
Two years ago, 9-20.
Three years ago, also 9-20

Amen Thompson in his second season:
— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) December 24, 2024
12 points
6.9 boards
2.1 assists
2.1 stocks@BigWos would like to see Amen get even more touches for the @HoustonRockets: https://t.co/E6VsBCqHAF pic.twitter.com/hjBr0iepwq
39-22 after 1 vs the Pels. Jalen with 16 pts on 7-9 shooting.
Rockets torching the extremely bad Pelicans with Tari and d Brooks, up 18 at halftime Green with 21 points already.
Pelicans are 5-25, on pace to win 14 games. Zion not rushing back.
Reed Sheppard 0-3 from the field, down to 33.6% from the field. Hope Rockets' management realizes how lucky they are to be off to a great start, because if they were 10-15 right now, they'd be getting reamed for spending the #3 overall pick on this guy.

Reed was begging a shot to go down late. No dice. Actually drove to the hoop a few times but couldn't get a layup in at the rim. At least saw a free throw go, although he was 1-2, of course.
Cam Whitmore had a career high 27, and he's basically a point/min guy.
Tale of two players.
128-111 final score. Minnesota at home tomorrow on the b2b.
