    Wade is back, i dont think we can pull this out
    maybe Adelman is a good coach but he and his system are not fit for ROX

    Whats the point in being a fan and posting on these forums if you clearly have no hope for this team? is it fun rooting for a team you think sucks? the maturity and loyalty on 80% of this forum is pathetic. get on a different bandwagon post's like the when you just made just make you look ignorant as hell.

    are you stupid? have you been watching the rockets play? have you been watching the heat play? you clearly don't follow basketball if thats what you think, stop letting your age show through your posts.

    wade is not the superstar player that he was bro. maybe in another month or 2 but he clearly can't score unless it's layups.

    Be realistic !! :rolleyes:

    How many shot attempts given TMAC's FG% that would take him scoring 40 points? 30? 40?

    He needs to wisely select his shots, do more penetration, draw more fouls, dish out more passes/assists, play more a play-maker role insteads of jacking wild ill-advised jumpers all game long.

    45.4% fg :D

    how many wild shots did he jack? didn't he get 12 assists?

    it's one of the few bad shooting nights so far this year for him, and coincidentally, it's his first game back from an injury on his shooting arm.

    It is almost improssible that rox are going to lose this game. If rox lose this one again, the ESPN ppl would joke around for this team for whole week.

    Rockets end the five game losing streak finally with a 97-93 win over the Heat. Yao plays well against Miami and TMac gets the team back on track.

    Well, I agreed with you that in fact he did fine in that game with Dallas Mavericks, by retreating back into a play-maker role, scoring 15 points and dishing out 12 assists, considering it was the first game on his return from his arm injury.

    However, how many penetrations you saw in that game with Mavericks? I did not remember any.

    How many ill-advised jumpers he attempted? At least one towards the clutch stretch of the game, when after the P&R, he did not pass the ball back to his Big Man who already rolled into better position, but insteads decided to take a low-probability 3-pointer out from the arc.

    That started that 100 seconds breakdown to be coupled with 0fer's missed 3-pointer, TMAC's turnover, and Yao Ming's crazy foul on Harris for a 3-point play just gave the Mavericks the chance for closing out a game that the Rockets should have won.

    TMAC has to stop doing all those it-is-on-me heroics if he ever wants to make himself and this team better and lead this team to the utter pinnacle of glory in NBA.

    It takes 5 !!!

    The way Tmac plays at the end of the game is as if the team is desperate and can find no other way to win except by Tmac playing 1 on 5. Its a reflection of their confidence as a group. They have no faith in the team concept when the pressure is on. No wonder they lose...

    The season is still young. Rox needs to develop a "never-say-die" attitude and try out the abilities of all guards (especially SF and AB) to see who can replace RA for starting games. As long as they play the whole game (I mean 48 minutes) with heart and fighting spirit, win or lose is not really so important.

    F*** the nonsense. If we lose this game I'll be beyond pissed :mad: We better rape this sorry ass team. I don't even want this to be close. We need to embarrass the Heat and make the media bring back questions of Shaq's motivation.

    I don't think I blamed it all on him. Did I say he played fine contributing alot to the game with his 12 assists? Did I say Yao Ming had sort of going out of his mind by giving away an unnecessary And 1 to that D Harris since he was steps behind coming to help defense when D Harris had already blown away all his inept guards team mates guarding him?

    It all boiled down to how this team, including its 2 best players, Yao Ming and TMAC, learn to work as a team, learn how to close out games down at the clutch as tight as these, which separates champions to contenders and pretenders.

    So far this team is not yet gelled and clicked to work as a well-oiled machine, and we need everyone to shift up their gears towards that working-as-a-team concept.
