    The reason we lost: We got tired. We have no depth at the 4 & 5 with Hakeem out. We took Cato & Chuck out & had to bring them back due to the run by the Suns. These two ended up playing (I believe) the last 6-7 minutes of regulation, along with all 10 minutes of OT.
    Simple fact is Charles is older and he needs a breather every once in a while, and Cato isn't use to that extended time either. Both looked great when they were fresh, but especially in the 2nd OT their tired legs showed.
    All in all a great game though!

    NO, the reason we lost is because we couldn't hit our FTs. Dammit, everyone has to understand this: if you shoot 50-60% on FTs when the other side shoots 70-85%, all things being equal, YOU"RE GOING TO LOSE THE GAME!!!

    Plain and simple.

    It hurts me to see us fight so hard only to lose... And knowing that we could've won OFF OF FREE SHOTS!?!

    Major disappointment. Did not have to happen.

    Wanna know what a former Army officer thinks of it? You just found out. Major disappointment. Unacceptable. Especially considering that the loss came by FTs... God, totally unacceptable. Shame.

    We'd better beat the Clips tonight.

    Did I mention the Rockets should hire Calvin Murphy as the free-throw coach? [​IMG]

    We oughtta hire Clyde as our Head Coach.

    That will put our running game first - and set aside the half-court game... even Chuck's getting tired of it - why ya think he's takin those stupid shots?!?

    I want Clyde to coach the Rockets.

    There, I said it. I'll say it again: I want Clyde to coach the Rockets.

    No one knows the running game better than Clyde "The Glide" Drexler...

    I'd put Rudy in a top-management position and give Clyde overall direction of the troop...

    I feel like I've said blasphemy... at the same time that I've said "Salvation!"

    I think Clyde has been waiting to coach this team for a while. I'm a UH Alma Mater, and I can guarantee you Clyde wasn't content with teaching fish how to swim in a bowl...

    Clyde not only deserves the job, it's really his inenviable - and inevitable - right to have the job. Could anyone think of anyone more qualified?

    If this is not a "Player's Coach", then I don't know what is, or who could be one...

    Clyde Drexler. A man who could roll up his cardigans and put any man down...

    And even if you beat him, you'd still get down on hands and knees and thank God you had the chance to play him...

    One thing tho - Clyde has to wait until Hakeem retires.

    That's just the way it has to be - Phi Slamma Jamma................
