Last night, the Rockets played the Bucks at Toyota Center and had a very nice game. Since they played the night before in Dallas, Tracy McGrady and Shane Battier did not play while Bonzi Wells also sat out for the fourth preseason game in a row as a result of a groin strain and two root canals. We started the game with Rafer Alston, Luther Head, Kirk Snyder, Scott Padgett, and Yao Ming. All five starters scored in double figures led by Yao with 22. In addition, two bench players, Vassilis (Billy) Spanoulis and Steve Novak, scored in double figures as well to propel the Rockets to a 111-97 victory. Other notable statistics included Padgett grabbing eight rebounds including four offensive boards, Spanoulis dishing out eight assists, and Novak making five out of his six three point shots to bring him to 50% 3-point shooting for the preseason.
The Rowdies were in force and loud, though we were a bit light for our before game walkthrough. Once again, we were featured on FSN and Bill and Clyde gave us compliments after the game. Our numbers were swelled last night by a large group of teenagers dressed in red (I can only assume that they were part of a school group). They were not all as loud as we were, but some of them were VERY enthusiastic and they seemed to follow along with our chants for the most part. Most importantly, they were all dressed in red and made our group look MUCH larger than it really is.
I will try to post some pictures once I get them pulled off of my camera, but until then, stay Rockets loud and Rockets proud!!!
