Let's start a BBS pool on which members blame Francis for this loss, bonus cash for the reason they blame Francis.
I think the most important thing needs to train the Rox is the passing. How/when/where to pass, to avoid all these stupid turnovers!
Nice post. Everybody has bad games. Just too bad it had to happen down the stretch aginst the Lakers. Hopefully Yao can rebound from this game and dominate the next 3 or 4 games.
Alright... how about the fact that these same Lakers had just destroyed the Kings and T-Wolves by 30+ this past week, and now look very tired and very happy to be ahead in this game. Also, how about the fact that the media is so enamored by LA, but they have yet to play a road game this entire hot streak (7 game homestand). They're not as good as this streak indicates, but they're not that bad either. We'll have to see them on the road to be for sure. And, I'm once again glad with the way the Rockets have competed... but this team just can't afford to have games like this from Yao. Its pretty disheartening when your best player just can't find the bucket at all... but we'll survive, we'll gut it out, and eventually (one of these days) we will prevail. (Also, I'd like to add... we're doing this all without a real power forward on this roster. Mo-T/Cato/Spoon maybe make up one PF, but without Cato, we're a very small team. Damn you EG)
Is Gary Payton a future HOF?? Why? (n/m... just checked his stats, and he will eventually close in on 20,000 points). Still... I'd like to see how his reputation stands up after he's long gone.
