Well the defense just tried to stop T-Mac. Look he was almost tripled so it was unbelivable for him to even see that Scola might be open. And we didn't have time
Rafer could have passed it to Scola for the layup......Scola is always in the right spot, now if Rafer could just learn how to make the pass on the PnR we might be on to something. Rafer is so risk averse in his passing it is maddening. DD
Edit: Maybe it was T-Mac...I remember Rafer handing the ball off to Mac right around thata rea of the floor, then T-Mac took a dribble or 2, pump faked and took the shot.
No need the point is still valid.....there was a guy wide open under neath...and the Rockets ignored him...... It especially emphasizes my point about Rafer not being able to make a creative pass. And you could edit the picture to show it being Rafer instead.....it would change the image at least. DD
Actually it would also work with a simple lob pass for a layup, scola runs the flor faster than most bigs and rockets usually ignore him in fast breaks, Rafer is always looking for T-Mac instead of looking for the best positioned Rocket.
No, the point is invalid, because it was rafer and rafer never ever make a pass to a cutter or a roller, if not, you can bring around 15 more times in this game that rafer have a chance to give the ball to someone in a position to score and just pass the ball around the perimeter instead to a guy 18 Ft from the basket.
Who cares? They lost, why dwell on the past. Look to the future and I see some easy wins coming. Portland, L.A., and then Seattle twice. The Phoenix test should be nice.
yeah that is rafer.. tmac got the ball with about 2 seconds left.. rafer shouldn't have squandered the previous possession
I think it was Rafer too... and he can't make that pass The reason we lost was not because of Tracy missing... it was because Rafer was playing like a r****d down the stretch. 1. Failed entry pass to CHUCK FREAKING HAYES; turnover 2. Failed FLOATER IN THE LANE; turnover 3. Failed by giving the ball to Tracy with only 4 SECONDS remaining. How could he make 3 such boneheaded plays all within the span of 60 seconds?? I have no clue..... I could have done better than that... by GIVING THE DAMN BALL TO #1, Jesus....
this lost hurt really bad. i really can't explain how this lost really feels it is beyond belief. my question is why doesn't landry play more than 14 or 15 min. chuck hayes and mutumbo just do not give us a scoring option it really hurts that this happened
