    Its nothing special about getting your ass whipped and playing selfish and no defense. The Rockets have taken a few that one would think would wake them up. Its no secret or what Dallas or Detroit did. The recipe is simple, pass the ball inside, let Ming operate early and the offense is set for the night. Pass=winning ball, not a Mavs ass whipping.

    Are there non-legit Rockets Council Members? Imposters abound.

    By the way, why be modest, I thought you were the head of that council?

    I love wontons, but I hardly call my criticism wanton. :p

    Just wanted to point out this excellent observation.

    I had a chance to go to yesterday's game, and was completely impressed with their spacing & floor balance, especially against the zone. And there were a lot of good, wide open shots yesterday.

    But I'm still remaining cautiously optimistic.

    Geez did you miss the point or what? Of course it was the passing that won them the games, but perhaps it was the loss against the Mavs that finally convinced them they need to pass. I know its kind of a hard concept to grasp. :p

    The 1st half of the Mavs game was perfection like these last 4 halves. imo, the Mavs game taught them the beauty of the game plan, while reminding them that 4 quarters of focus is what makes you a contender, and how easy it is for a top team to spank you when you freak out facing an opposition onslaught and leave your game plan.
