http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking?season=2009&week=2 11 (4) Rockets 4-3 You pretty much have to live with that heave Brandon Roy tossed in at the buzzer. Losing to Boston and the road no-show against the Lakers, in the Rockets' first two big games of the season, were the real letdowns. Man thats a steep drop.
umm, let's look at the facts: our 3 losses have come against the lakers and celtics (the 2 best teams in the league, this year and last) and against the blazers on a mighty questionable buzzer beater. whoop de doo. give our team enough time to gel and get some rest, and we'll be fine. people need to calm the hell down. good god.
Agreed but our no show to the lakers and our lack of defense and offense for that fact and letting the portland game come down to the last second is our problem. They shouldnt be in the same pool as us. We should play closely with the lakers like we did the celtics. Sure you can question reffing and what not, but I was embarassed by our laker performance. At times it looks like our team quit, and the lakers were only going harder. I am more surprised we have not dropped lower. I would put us in the middle of the pack instead of upper middle. So far we have allowed everytime mediocre team to stay in the game with us when we should be winning by a minimum 15.
At this stage im not EXTREMELY worried because its soo early into the season. The Portland loss was just a heartbreaker and a mad shot by Brandon Roy. The Celtics was all Ray Allen at the last quarter... The most worrying game was against the lakers man. OMG! it was just a completely slack effort overall. Hopefully the team learn and gel together and we'll be all good for the rest of the season
