Rockets vs. Jazz: The backstory
As five-game series against No. 8 seeds go, the Rockets had about as difficult a time as can be had with the Timberwolves. Houston straightened out the offense in Games 4 and 5 (241 points combined), but the first three games, in which the Rockets shot 42.7 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from the 3-point line, is cause for some lingering concern.

 

That’s because the Jazz defense is imposing, especially when Defensive Player of the Year candidate Rudy Gobert is in the middle. Utah might have finished its series against the Thunder in five games if not for foul trouble in the second half for Gobert, which forced him to the bench and opened the way for OKC to storm back from a 25-point deficit. Utah recovered to close out the series in Game 6, but the fifth game was more evidence of Gobert’s defensive dominance. . . .continue at Sporting News.com

Sum 41
@HOB-Houston

Saturday 5/5/2018 7:30 PM

Sum 41 is a The Canadian rock band from Ajax, Ontario Sum 41 makes its way to Houston's HOB this weekend. Originally called Kaspir, the band in 1996 and now consists of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Deryck Whibley, lead guitarist Dave Baksh, guitarist Tom Thacker, bassist Jason McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo.
     The band's style has been disputed by fans because of the complex combination of different musical styles and the more mature, serious, and heavy sound on later albums. The band's EP Half Hour of Power is described as punk rock, skate punk and pop punk.
All Killer No Filler was described as pop punk and skate punk (except for "Pain for Pleasure", which is purely heavy metal). Does This Look Infected? has been described as punk rock, pop punk and melodic hardcore. Chuck was getting heavier opting out the original pop punk sound with a thrash metal sound, but the band kept in touch with its punk rock and melodic hardcore roots, which created an even more mature sound than the group's previous effort. Critics have described Underclass Hero as a revival of the band's pop punk style.
