Houston fourth quarter collapses?

good to know. thx

 

We had a 18 point 4th period lead the other night against the Timberwolves and they cut it 3 points late!

 

cuz rick will always put starters in the 4th no matter what now. Just in case. Like today lol.

 

A lot of games I see he'll rest Yao and Tmac at the beginning of the 4th.

 

5 stars thread!

we talked a lot over years about how we had the lead in the 4th quarter, but couldnot close it out and collapsed.

Proud of speaking ...Not This Year(overall).

Go Rockets.

 

Well..... Rockets still wins. No harm done.

 

Yea, I feel good about any game now if it's close in the 4th quarter. We always seem to execute. Most of the games we've lost in the 4th is because the refs made a series of bad calls and take the wind out of us or some miracle shot/sequence. By and large, we execute and close out games. It's nice to see.

Biggest factor, TMac doesn't do 40ft J's with 3 minutes left. He did that ONE time a couple weeks ago ...and we lost.

 

i too am thrilled with our 4th quarter performance but the 3rd quarter seems to be our worst area. i'm still enjoying the season and all the games tho!

thx for the stat

 

I like getting Yao and Tmac rest in the 4th quarter. BUT, I've learned that this is the reason we often lost leads. So, I'm fine with Rick leaving them in late in the 4th. Rick knows what he's doing. (Though I would really like a backup C who can help us hold leads in the 4th to prevent Yao from having to play long minutes.)
