My Early Xmas wishlist: Can we get #2 in the starting rotation, or give him more minutes? Can we get Yao more touches/shots in the 2nd half of games too? Can the new players pick up our defensive rotations quicker? Can our guys play with more fire in their eyes? Can we get some more calls, you know, call the fouls that happen on our side of the court. Please Santa, grant me these wishes, I've been good. I've been extra good, so you can give them to me now, you don't have to wait until Christmas. p.s. I left some cookies and milk by the TV, the game is DVR'd. If watching it doesn't convince you, then screw you, you MAVERICK FAN! ____________________________________________ I *HATE* to complain, but these are the blaring things to me for this team to get back on track. We have the right pieces here, *IF* they can learn to rotate effectively on defensive. I was feeling JVG's anger last night. He nearly broke his fingers calling for timeouts, and I believe I might have said the F word with him. Jinx!
Can Wesley and Anderson convert some of the free looks there getting?.. if yes, then that is a early christmas gift for yao to. there misses are making his life a living hell in the low post.
I would like for our guys to start hitting their outside shots. If we did this with more consistency we would have a significantly better record.
ehh, I'd like to give alston more than 1/10th of the season before we fairly judge him. Alston was terrific in the 2004 playoffs for the Heat. Role players on this Rockets team are a problem right now though, and their names are Howard and Wesley. They are old and contribute nothing positive to the Rockets cause.
All I want for "Xmas" is for people to call it Christmas again. If you're so offended by "Christmas" don't celebrate it. I don't get offended by "Happy Hannukah" (and yes I know I'm spelling that wrong)
It wasnt directed at you, twas a general rant. And I would never argue with a female on an internet chat board. I'm far too lonely in my mom's basement to sabotage that .000001% chance of hooking up with someone.
Sad, but incredibly funny! Christmas is too far away. Isn't there some Thanksgiving deity that can help us out before we dig ourselves in too deep?
If you're so offended by "Yule," don't celebrate it. I don't see why someone should get so upset over "Xmas."
Who said anything about Yule?? 196 posts in almost 2 1/2 years and you choose to say something like this?
I'd like to give Alston more time as well. But it's not just Howard and Wesley, DA and Alston haven't contributed anymore than JH and DW this season. As long as our guards are shooting 35%, 32%, and 28% from the field, we wont' win games. I don't want to jump the gun, but I think a trade is needed. Last season, Barry and Wesley gave us that jump start we needed, we need another deal to give another one.
Speaking of Barry, man where is that fire he had last season and this preseason? It's just not there. Exaggeration coming (ala Bill Walton style): He and T-Mac have committed more turnovers than I've seen them make all last year! Cliche warning: The team is out of sync, and this is due in big part, I THINK, to new personnel.
Good call. I would add: - fair officiating for Yao - a quick learning curve for Stromile - a razor for Bowen
Xmas is no more denegrating to Jesus than Rox is to the Rockets. Which is what this list is about, by the way... I'd wish for everyone in the TC to become loud and unruly, all at the same time, for the entire length of the game.
