Just one defensive stop in the fourth quarter... we've really yet to get one when it mattered tonight.
This Utah team if u give them any hope, they're going to murder you. I think the Rox give them hope in the 1st half instead of give it to them.
I turned it off, the Rockets are wasting my time. They didn't come to play. No excuse, a gutless performance. Utterly humiliating. You can't take night's off in the NBA. The losing streak extends to three and it gets much harder. The Rockets have not won since the All Star break, and if they continue to play like today they may not win again. I am thoroughly disgusted.
I Cant believe what i'm seeing. yao needs a good kick up the ass. as does tracy. not rebounding and tracy missing crucil free throws dosent help. jesuse. and some are calling this team a contender!!
I blamed JVG on this loss for putting the wrong lineups on the floor under different circumstances. Playing Moochie Norris is inexcusable...playing Barry and Bowen instead of Wesley and Howard at the end when they were behind.
Last time I checked this was a free Board, No? Last time I checked A center is suppose to get more rebounds than a guard, No? Last time I checked a rebounding guard-who shouldn't have to grab more rebounds for a team with a 7'6 center- that is out should motivate said center previously mentioned to get more rebounds to help the team and show true leadership when we are facing the march towards the playoffs, No? Utah rebounding 38 > Rox 29 Yao 4 boards in 30 mins with 1:35 left, last game 4 boards. and how many did Utah get on the offensive board. If you can't take the heat, maybe you are the one that should leave and go on a sleeper.
It's game like these when Yao was as sh!tty as he can be, that I wish the Odom trade had gone down. The Rockets bricked like crazy from outside, and the Jazz outshot the Rockets from the perimeter, but it is debilitating morale-wise when the franchise big man cannot even lay the damn ball up.
Thank goodness there are 80 other games where the Odom trade looks like something only a supreme idiot would want.
I think we all recognize what Sura brings to the table in terms of getting rebounds, particularly those long ones. But I think we tend to underestimate the "grit" Sura brings to this team. The "fire" he brings. Those intangibles. I hope he is back after that 5 game IL stint.
I'm not one to give up on a season after one game, but this has to be one of the worst performances by the Rockets this year. But I will say this, Mike James has made a fan out of me.
The Scott Padgett experiment should be pretty much over. The guys playing like crap lately. Give Vin Baker a shot maybe he can grab a rebound.
Van Chancellor was right about Yao when Yao missed a chippy lay up in the 4th quarter. He said Yao is playing like a 6 footer. Yao is not a type of person mentally who can put a team on his shoulders.
