Lowry is the point guard and the primary ball handler on the team. That play is 100% his fault whether or not TWill is or isn't running full speed. Players don't have to sprint down court after a basket is scored and most don't. It is ridiculous to count that as a mental mistake on TWill's part when that play is clearly on Lowry.
Man, that ticks me off!!! That game was ours! All Martin and Bud had to do was score 10 points a piece and we win. We should have won in double figures!!! Why let freakin Martin bomb for 33 minutes??!!!
So you then think they are indeed tanking? To tank, you gotta suck on purpose, whether you want to or not.
It is Lowry's fault. I think he lost track of where he was on the floor. Probably didn't realize that he stepped on the half court line before making the pass.
Adrien was too small against Ryan Anderson there were several plays when Anderson just tipped the ball over his head. He also appears to lack fundamentals in terms of boxing out so it is better to play Thabeet.
I choose to reserve my comments and opinions about the team after around 15-20 games. Right now i'm just trying to enjoy watching nba basketball again.
Good for you. Most of us (including me) is just saying random stuff just because we haven't been able to complain about the Rockets in ages. It's a stress reliever. There's going to be complaining when we lose, praise when we win....I hope we win soon

Few things, morris isn't a 3, he's a 4. There isn't anything in his game that says he's a 3. His handles, short burst, nothing. Your reply could be robert horry and some of that is true, but I don't see the lateral quickness on the court to play the 3. Secondly, you're not getting an all star for martin. The rockets traded landry for him and now he's going to get u an all star? If you count a guy like granger, then yes. I would make tht trade because granger is a better player and they make the same money and are about the same age. Any fairytale package that you think you can include martin in to get howard, u can use granger. At least with granger he rebounds and defends when he's not scoring. Martin gives you nothing.
Iguodala is one of the premier defenders at his position and 4 years younger than Gasol. His career numbers 16 pts 6 rbs 5 ast are not far away considering he is a swing man Gasol 19 pts 9 rbs 3 ast 1.7 blks
