Stop complaining.

Okay I've had enough of this crap.

Our team is playing like complete and utter ass right now. The T-Mac situation is unnecessary drama and we're unable to hold our own with teams we should be winning against. And tonight's effort on defense was laughable-- I have no idea how many dunks we gave up. Our offense still looks like a joke and Brooks, who was supposed to be our spark, has gone MIA for the past few games.

But let's chill. Seriously.

Playoffs aren't tomorrow. Two of our best wing defenders are out with injuries. Adelman has not had the chance to use a full roster and our guys haven't had the time to gel. I know that as Rockets fans we tend to overemphasize things, but holy mackerel, what were you guys honestly expecting? That we'd be able to win all these games? I mean, as soon as I watch T-Mac being lazy on defense or Yao turning the ball over and over again or Rafer having another of his 4-13 nights, my expectations aren't exactly soaring. We're not at the stage that we CAN win right now. We don't have all our weapons and the league is just flat out tough. I'm disgusted at how many back to backs we have and how it seems like, for the most part, the guys are just going through the motions out there for who knows what reasons.

But let's try and wait it out. Mutumbo is back as a solid locker room presence and Battier is projected to be back next week. Somewhere in Morey's laboratory, with the hum of high powered processors crunching numbers, he's assessing possibility for any moves he can make and how much longer he can wait out on this team. Everyone on our team, I'm sure, genuinely cares and genuinely wants to win, which has been exhibited by the noted frustration of players in the recent news articles. T-Mac has obviously been a distraction, but we're going to have to wait on him for the time being to see if he's going to commit. That's all there is to it.

We CAN change, gosh darn it. I want to believe that our team will get their intensity back. And if we're still losing with a half-decent roster, well, then maybe it's time we start pissing and moaning. But right now we're still building up the foundation and until we can get all our tools back I don't see the point of us announcing the end of our playoff run just yet.
