my point still stands, the rockets lose to mediocre teams, and they will not exit the 1st round this year once again I said in the previous thread id have faith in the rox again if they managed to get 3rd or 2nd seed by the end of the year, that wont happen. **** it, let's just rebuild the team next year.
Excellent post, this man knows what he talking about. Yao was actually open from one of the screens at the end and Brooks didnt even attempt the entry pass. Brooks just fold under pressure. Damn i miss rafer!!
and Ron was hogginh the ball a lot at the end, can't blame him too much since he was on fire, but he should have passed on that last play, my point is that not being able to create a shot wasn't a big problem here, guys weren't getting the ball at the end due to bad ball movement and Ron dominating the ball. A bigger issue is Yao establishing his position and Ron having more trust in other guys. Also, leading up to the final minute the Bulls did get away with a lot of contact, they were practically roughin up every shooter/rebounder and not being called for it, call it aggressive play and homecourt, but that also contributed to all this so again don't overreact at the Rocket's "collapse"...
The Rockets lost because they suck at dealing with fronting defenses. It's not like this is the first time in a while where their offense crumbled in the fourth. It's happened twice before very recently -- we just happened to win those games.
Let this be a lesson to Rick. Watch the tape of this game, learn to free up Yao from the fronting. Put in Deke for godsake to stop the layups. Von Wafer needs to play in the 4th when we need scores and Yao isn't getting touches, even it means moving Ron to the 4. Aaron needs coaching.
I didn't know we blame luck now. This board is just.... unbelievable. At least he was out there support his teammates, which alot of you think he didn't do, but still some of you have to bring in the wrong negativity from the wrong direction. Focus on the game........ Maybe the basketball gods took the game away from us because some fans act this way. I n fact, if I could, I would say this board is a bunch of SheMacs. I honestly don't see a difference between the crappy McGrady and the board here, you have the bi-polar factor, you have the excuse factor, you have the blaming factor. You have everything!!
Get over it TMac will not play in Houston ever again. The guy does not deserve to wear a Rockets uniform.
How does your point still stand? We beat 3 bad teams and 3 playoff teams during that stretch. This loss is nothing. We will go on another streak, bet on it. This was a good loss for the Rockets, they will learn from their mistakes. Plus, Tmac is bad luck. Get him away from the team! I bet he told Artest he had to be the man! TMAC IS TRYING TO SABOTAGE THIS TEAM SO WE DON'T GET OUTTA THE FIRST! GO REHAB YOU BUM!
Ron's decision to not pass the ball on the last possession was just stupid. Pass the freaking ball if you are doubled Ron!
We should of gone to Lowry much earlier in the quarter, at least he can move the ball much quicker or make those lob passes to Yao. Brooks is useless when he is not scoring, I never thought he would be a good starter. If you are small, you need to be explosive enough to blow past defenders and finish well, or dish out when they collapse, but Brooks cleary isn't... My vote is to have lowry start.
Ok, why did my thread get combined with this one? Asking fans to stop knee jerk reactions is not anymore more relevant to post game talk than other threads that were left, such as the one titled "my thoughts after the bulls game"! Should I have titled it "MY knee jerk reaction" to make it acceptable??
notice del harris was on the bulls team. he probably knows yao as well as adelman. and ron tonight, what can i say...
Haha, we are a better team without T-Mac. And we are an even better team without Yao Ming. Yeah, that's right.
