God dammit, this ****ing blows. I was eating out so I couldn't watch the first half or so, so I checked the score on my phone. We were up by about 20, and I knew we would blow the lead and lose. I ****ing knew it. Damn this is depressing, knowing that your team will blow a 20 point lead. It was like a watching a train wreck that you saw coming a mile away.
I am not sure you realize it, but Scola was never matched up with Dunan. It was Dalembert and Hill on him. DD
This game was a very good example why the team needs another true center. Hill is PF trying to play C and against Duncan he was toast. PPat takes too many jumpers instead of taking to the rim and Scola was off tonight. Oh well time to get back to 3 games above .500 against the Suns on Friday.
As bad a night scola had it was still a winnable game. The Rockets were up 67-63 when he last left the court. Again fools blaming him in the minutes when it mattered the most yet he did not play. Matt Bonner having the impact he did in the 4th quarter is inexcusable.
jump shot jump shot jump shot jump shot, everyone was settling, and it wasn't a result of the defense. They were playing straight up switch everything and deny the post and baseline screens, this team needs someone that can break down his man off a pick and roll, and can explode off those switches... Terrence Williams. For all his deficiencies and "rumours" of bad attitude, the guy brings what we lack, an athletic wing that can drive and finish with contact in the lane.
Definitely was not his fault. However, pat definitely kept us in it with some huge shots lat ein the game. It was an overall team choke. I put 25 percent of the blame on the rox tem, 25 percent on mchale and the rest on what the league likes to call unbiased officials
Teams adjust to KMart when he scoring a lot and Spurs did. They prevented Scola from posting, they were switching. With Scola having a bad night there is no posting up on the Rockets offense, so the only way is for screen rolls with Lowry or Lowry penetrating, basically doing what Parker was doing to us. That will free KMart for good looks. We did not adjust to what the Spurs were doing defensively till the middle of 4th quarter by that time they proved to be more offensively efficient.
Didn't watch this game. The Rockets are losing too much for my enjoyment. It's frustrating watching your team go up by 15 points only to collapse in the third or fourth quarter. The Rockets beat the Spurs the last two times we played them, so I knew better than to watch this game.
Have you seen him play recently. He needs some sort of spark. He is playing just like pat. All shot and no post game. To top it off he doesn't try on defense. Either he steps it up or sits it down
It'd be nice if our guys would look to score when they drive to the basket instead of looking for contact and falling down. Mainly Lowry and Martin.
