    Yeah, well, he's the best we got. You want to rely on McGrady, instead?

    Unfortunately, its been like that for the last 5 games. The Rox can't win with shooting like that.

    If this team would hit half of their open shots...

    At this point of the game it isnt so much about missing effort, but a greater part, of the players not hitting their shots.

    You better believe that the Hawks will make adjustments to load the paint and DARE the perimeter to hit their shots.

    As soon as Head steps on the court, Rockets start losing, and losing big.

    They shoot over 60% from the field and only lead us by 8?Our offense is much better than it was last night and if we could play good D,I doubt the Hawks can maintain the high percentage shooting from the floor.

    Just keep trying.Losing with heart and soul agrees with me.Don't continue the skid please Rox!GOGOGO

    I beg the differ, Yao is not the best big man in the league IMO. But lets not get into this subject, the person in my sig might go psycho on us.

    Atlanta is a decent team, you can't expect a 30 million- team to win this game.
    We even don't have any wingman on the court.

    It's a team game. Without Battier, Artest, and McGrady...you are severely undermanned. Yao is dominating. He's a beast tonight. already a double double. 16points, 10 rebounds. 7-11. That's domination.

    They don't have to hit those shots if they play JVG defense.

    Who is? Dwight? Do you actually think Dwight can win this game with the personnel we have?

    That's true, but defense can only do so much for you.

    Defense only keeps you in the game...

    But you're right, the Rockets' defense at the moment is herendous. Not just JVG defense, ANY defense would be good at this point.

    No one can win this game with the personnel we have, not against the hawks. But that have nothing to do with the fact that Dwight>Yao.
