i'm not too mad over this loss. tracy and battier looked bad. rafer is always bad. and brooks seems to hit a rookie wall despite in his 2nd year. scola was just TERRIBLE on both ends. only yao showed up. yao needed help tonight. we'll be fine. too many injured guys for us to play well on a back-to-back. let's move on.
pretty clear we need TMAC get into his shape soon, otherwise we will have long way to get home court for first round playoff.
yeah, be smart. blame this one on Yao. our whole game sucks. no defense and no offense. no hustle. yao play ok game. others just seems lost. and our coach is an idiot. (this game at least)
Rockets need size in the frontcourt. I repeat, no player other than Yao is over 6'9". Houston will continue to get killed on the boards against taller teams like the Clippers and Lakers and give them 2nd and 3rd chance opportunitites on offensive rebounds until they sign somebody like Deke or go after Sean Williams.
I'm starting to think its a serious problem that the Rockets are "playing down" to the opponent... Indiana, Memphis, and now the Clippers.
this whole winning 1 out of 2 games thing isnt gonna cut it if we actually wanna compete. we have to win against these kinds of teams. we have to be consistent.
Well, tired legs. Understandable loss. You can clearly tell Shane didn't have his legs when shooting. Clippers played well, and they should be better than what their record shows.
Games like these is where you need players like Artest who wont take **** from anybody. Sadly, the Rox didnt come to play tonight.
lee said that the GM can't see any holes,I don't think he doesn't but we don't have the trading assets of filling them IMO.
tracy played well in the first half. i think the 2nd half was when the conditioning really got to him. his shots were all short. he looked fine b/c he beat his man off the dribble late in the game, just got fouled with no calls. he'll be fine. just need more games.
when tmac is on the court, it's 4 on 5 for defense for rockets. on offensive end, there is so much iso play for him, if his shot is not falling then we are screwd. ron can compensate on defensive end when he plays poor on offensive end. if tmac is not playing well on offensive end, he is a complete liability. Given it's a back to back for his come-back, it's ok. i hope he will be at least more consistent on offensive end. is rafer hurt? hope it's not serious.
any news on rafer??? does anyone know what happened. The commentators said hamstring then knee idk what happened
Agree. We absolutely needed a big PF that can defend and rebound in this game. Scola, Landry, and Hayes were all no match for Randolph. I thought Dorsey would've been that guy.
