    Besides the Denver Nuggets, aren't the Rockets the worst shooting team in the NBA? Our team only has like 2 people who actually make shots consistently. And aren't we the worst passing team? We are basically last in assists. No ball movement. No ball movement because no good shooting. No good shooting because no ball movement. What team in the NBA has less shooters than us? NONE! Of course, we have been improving somewhat. But of course, we can always stick with iso. Everyone takes turns trying to score 1 on 5. And in desperation...pass out. I just think that we can never succeed...as in win a championship...unless we have a REAL AND MATURE leader on our team and a REAL offense and REAL defense and a REAL coach and a REAL playmaker. Yes. Patience.

    Maybe we need REAL fans (like you,:rolleyes) who have REAL patience to see that our REAL team won't be here until they play a few REAL seasons together as a REAL team.

    If you were a REAL :) fan and watched every single game...I would bet that you would feel pretty bad when one night, the Rockets are killing one team by 30...but the next night...they lose to the worst team in the NBA. It is pretty hard to watch sometimes. I have been watching almost all the games the entire year. I've been so patient. But it's the end of the season...and the Rockets can only score 10 points in one quarter. Pretty sad. They have already been out of the playoffs forever. And they are still arrogant enough to think they're all good. Yeah...patience.

    We have a bunch of Raw talent still, Eddie and Yao haven't reached anywhere near their full potential. And the guards are inconsistent, but Steve has shown TONS of improvement this year. Mobley has stepped up his defense, and once we get a season or two with the same lineup in....we should be one of the top 4-5 teams in the league.





    ARGH!!!! Stockton from that same spot......!!!!!

    Heh. Well see. It is painful to see when.................
    WE ARE THE SECOND YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE NBA.
    And the Jazz are like the 2nd oldest.
    Your point guard is an the Western Conference All Star Point Guard...26 years old. And he is being abused by a 41-year-old guy.
    And it's sad when you are 20 years old...and you can't guard a guy who is 2 times your age at 40.
    See...Francis and Mobley are good right now. They are athletic. But they won't be able to play until they are 40. Not many people do. But Francis and Mobley play 42 minutes a game. When they're older, they won't be able to jump and run. They won't last long.
    The Jazz. Their players are old as heck but they still win. Why? BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A SYSTEM that works all the time. That's why they like lead the league in assists and field goal percentage. As much as I hate the Utah Jazz...they are still a good team.
    Yes. We all have to be patient...but nothing's wrong with passing and taking good shots. Nothing is wrong with getting better role players. Nothing is wrong with getting a new offense.

    I guess we just have to wait. Yes. Plenty of time. :)
