    Great wrap up Clutch. I agree that Ish Smith did a phenomenal job tonight. Ish seems to pass and find his teammates better than AB. Seems like Ish and Scola connected well looking at those highlights. Still, Rockets have their work cut out for them.

    Get well AB. Concurrently, this is Ish Smith's time to shine. While I love AB's game, he takes away more offense than the Rockets can provide since he takes so many shots. I think AB's injury is a blessing in disguise.

    Turn it around Rox!

    Good video by IMF, 16x9 HD, great on my monitor!

    I agree with you that Scola is our most reliable dude. I think Martin was going to have a monster game until he got hurt.

    I'm glad to see some progress on defense later in the game too. Great game, lots of Rockets fans. Sure beats watching Longhorns football this year.

    I know they say no loss is a good loss, but the team really played with fire tonight. If the Rockets can play with this kind of effort consistently, I think things will turn around in a hurry(may depend on these injuries as well)

    Thanks for the late night hard work clutch.

    This is true late night hard work! I live in LA and was surprised to see this post (after getting back from my partying ways and getting my rockets fix).

    Good job guys! :cool:

    Enjoyed the video. Thanks. It was especially meaningful watching how well, but imperfectly, Ish and CLee played after reading that threads that eviscerated them...

    Thank you IMF and Clutch for the effort to put this video up and the great write up.

    Watching it instills in me a sense of calm in a sea of violently groomy posts. I can't wait for the next game!

    great vid, excellent article, stellar effort by Ish, Lee, Battier, Scola, and Chuck.

    the high pick 'n roll w/ Smith+Scola- not quite Stockton to Malone, but nice to see.

    Nicely spoken, but there is a massive worry that whatever was learned last night will be lost with Captain 24 minutes coming in tonight.

    Let's hope not, but either way a loss is a loss is a loss.

    That was a great video. Loved the fight I saw from the team. I think it continues tonight against Minnesota and the Rockets pull of a little win streak here and get back in it.

    I think you're making too much of Yao being a distractor. Team has to re-integrate Yao and you know what, learn how to play with and without on the floor. It's been over a year since he's been part of the offense, it's probably a big of an adjustment for everyone and it sucks but a professional team should be able to figure it out with a little PATIENCE....

    Rockets will roll off their next 4 game and move to 4-5. Count on it.

    nicely put, Clutch.

    It's unfortunate, but true. The lineup we saw at the end of the Spurs game won't play together much (hopefully we can get AB back healthy sooner rather than later). So, we need to find something that works. I'm not sure we can find a great fit with this current roster, they really do seem like an odd mix of specialists.

    I just wish you'd quit saying "On Deck" at the end of those things. It's not on me. It's not!! :eek:

    Thanks! The one to build on! I totally agree. I am absolutely more postive about the team than a couple of days before.

    DD-You are too biased towards Brooks and Yao and are selectively blinded to see the truth. PLEASE, GIVE ME A BREAK! Your points has been elaborated so many times and the whole board has known your opinions.
