My Suggestions For Kevin McHale

     Last night, the Rockets beat the Blazers 126-113. We played well and all, but I have some suggestions for Kevin McHale going forward.

     For Kevin McHale, I think that he should try to make the Rockets into a more defensive minded team. We've been giving up 102 points per game which is 22nd in the league. When we get steals, we get to run in transition which is our specialty just we haven't been able to do it as much this year. We are a good enough offensive team that if we hold a team under 90 points, we will most likely win. On offense, we need Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones to score more consistently. When they are both on their games, we win most of the time because we are already a pretty good outside team and when Jones and Howard play well, they give us the inside presence that we need. So on offense, we need to work the ball inside more often and overall, we need to be more of a defensive minded team.

     To sum it up, I think we've been playing great team basketball lately. Hopefully, Kevin McHale can use my suggestions to make the Rockets a better team and that we can continue playing well.

   

Meeting my Favorite Rockets Players at the Rockets Game

     I had the most incredible time at the Rockets game last Saturday night. We got group tickets as a reunion with some of our family friends. The Yuhans from California and the Jungs from Houston. We went to the game early before the doors opened to try to get some autographs and see the players warm up. Right as the doors opened, we went straight to the bottom of the court and right when we got there we surprisingly saw Chandler Parsons, Aaron Brooks, James Harden, and Dwight Howard warming up. When they started leaving the court, I got Chandler Parsons's autograph and even got a fist bump from Aaron Brooks! Then we went to check out the store, got some food, and then went to our seats that we would be watching the game from.

     The game was awesome! We were playing against the Pelicans. It was close all the way until the end when the Rockets started pulling away. Jeremy Lin and James Harden both made huge shots at the end which got me on my feet. It was a very exciting game and fun to watch.

     After the game, my dad's friend, Uncle Peter worked it out with Josh Fan (Jeremy Lin's trainer) to get us guest passes to go down to the court. Right when we got there, we saw Darryl Morey, the Rockets GM. We said hi to him and my two brothers and I took a picture with him. After waiting there for about twenty minutes longer, we saw Jeremy Lin! Luckily, Uncle Peter is friends with him so he came right over to us. There were a lot of other people waiting in line and he wanted to see us, so he took us a few steps inside of the tunnel. We talked for a little bit and then my brothers and I took another picture, but this time with Jeremy Lin.

     I had the time of my life at the Rockets game! I'd like to give a big thank you to Josh Fan for making this happen.
