Wanted: Video Contributor

By rahat huq | September 5, 2010 at 8:28 pm

Here’s the situation: I want to embed a reel of the main highlights from each game next season within the next day’s Rockets Daily. I need a contributor for the capture, compilation, and uploading of these clips.

I’m not looking for anything of analytical nature – just the major plays that people would want to see (ie: dunks, blocks, etc.)

If you’re interested, shoot me an email at rahathuq@red94.net.

每日火箭相关新闻汇总(9月3日）

By ye tao | September 5, 2010 at 2:09 pm

       *是的，毫无疑问，休斯顿火箭队是运营的最好的团队。 D-league Digest的Matt Hubert对一些专家（当中包括我们的Rahat Huq）提供的问卷调查的综合评分显示， 给火箭及其对NBDL(NBA发展联盟)的附属球队毒蛇队的运作给了一个完美的打分。尽管同区对手马刺也是属于利用NBDL的最多的球队之一，但相比较其他球队而言，火箭队连续的使用和有选择性的管理他的附属球队使他的阵容有更大的灵活性并且球员有更广阔的发展空间。“作为唯一能拿到4分满分（Matt Moore的A+评分使火箭队的综合得分提升了一个档次）的球队，火箭明显拥有一个可以当成范例的经营团队。火箭的总经理莫雷是篮球界最聪明的人之一。他知道如何为球队引进有天赋的球员并且建设成一支球队。他对NBDL球队的合理使用是火箭队领先联盟几乎所有球队一步的原因之一。何时下放球员， 何时召回球员，创新性的使用附属系统——火箭队在各个方面都做得很好。”

Rockets Daily: Friday, September 3rd, 2010

By jacob mustafa | September 3, 2010 at 11:50 am
  • Yes, the Houston Rockets run the best organization, without a doubt. In the D-League. D-League Digest‘s Matt Hubert gives the Rockets and its job running its D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, a score of perfect, based on a composite score of several experts (including our own Rahat Huq). Although division rival and general bastions of perfection the San Antonio Spurs were also in the highest tier of D-League usage, the Rockets’ constant use and selective control of its affiliate team has allowed it greater flexibility and player development than any other organization: “As the only team to earns a perfect 4.00 GPA (with a boost from Matt Moore’s A+), the Rockets are clearly a model franchise… The point is, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey is one of the brightest minds in basketball. The man knows how to bring in talent and build a team. His commitment to using the D-League is one of the reasons why Houston is at least a step ahead of almost every team in the league… Assignments, call-ups, innovative use of the affiliation system—the Rockets do it all very well.”
  • While the Rockets’ organization may be run differently than other teams’, exactly how typical are Houston’s players on the court? Hardwood Paroxysm‘s Tom Haberstroh writes about the commonalities between all of those NBA players’ shot selections at particular positions; most interestingly, Haberstroh lists the players who shoot most and least like others at their positions. While few Rockets make the list (not many players on the team are particularly prototypical or revolutionary in their shooting styles), of particular note is Kevin Martin’s presence as one of the NBA’s most shooting-guard-like… shooting guards. Like most 2′s, he shoots a lot of threes, mid-to-long-range jumpshots and goes to the basket on occasion; his back-up, Courtney Lee, is ranked immediately behind him in terms of normality. As both are recent acquisitions, this news may lead readers to think the Rockets are piling up literal role players, players who play their positions on the court to a T without deviating too far from their positions’ strengths; however, another new face, Jared Jeffries, leads the list of out-of-the-norm power forwards, shooting less like a power forward than any other 4 in the league. Perhaps not so coincidentally, Jeffries does not take many shots. Read More »

Mmmmm…I look good. I mean really good. Hey everyone…come and see how good I look.

Thank you, all, for the warm reception. It is much appreciated. I especially enjoyed the comments. They provided some ideas I had failed to incorporate for one reason or another.
