    Crappy game from beginning to end. Never thought I'd say this but I'm tired of giving Tracy the benefit of the doubt because he is who he is. He's killing us out there. He's not playing like a superstar, he's playing like a has been. I look at the Cavs and Lebron drove to the basket with moves he knows his opponents can't stop. It's like Mcgrady cant do that anymore. We're down by 5 and instead of getting a sure thing with Yao, Mcgrady and Alston are throwing up bricks. We didn't deserve to win the game, and we didnt. Period. We have no heart out there, still. No passion at all. We're still such a robotic team. I'll give them a few weeks to gel together. Battier looked out of place. Snyder looked out of place. Novak looked out of place. Everyone except Yao looked out of place. We need some passion out there....

    So,,,,,, we got 2 PGs playing for the Jazz, does JVG take our bigger guards and post them up and punish them?

    Nope.....

    Our guard play sucked, our free throws sucked, and our defense allowed far too many open mid range shots.

    I want one more rebound for Yao ...at least get him a double double.

    I guess BONZI's watching and thinking: "GEeee... I can score 20pts alone!!"

    Yes, get a grip.

    In case you didn't know it, the Rockets were trying to find a way to win the game, considering that the Jazz piled on to their lead with Novak and Padgett in there, and that the bleeding stopped when Battier was in and the Rockets went on a run, I think leaving Novak on the bench on the 4th period, when you were b****ing to put him in, considering that it is his first ever NBA game and he wasn't doing anything, was the wise move.

    You beg to differ but it's because you're busting nuts over Novak. I'm excited about the guy too but let's face it, he didn't do anything outside of hit one shot tonight, was getting torn apart by Boozer, and letting him "learn on the job" was only necessary if you were willing to concede the game.

    Yeah, but everyone got bullied on the glass. Unless Novak gets more play time, he won't build the confidence to make shots consistently.

    And Vspan DNP? WTF? :mad:

    wanna know why we're not in the game? free-throws 1st of all.

    second, we were impatient and went for the home run, 3pt, instead of driving the ball in the basket.

    Haha, okay. You mean blame the players for not getting used to the ball and not practicing their ft's which cost us the game.

    This is a very hard question for the board:

    Who is the better coach tonight: Sloan or Gundy?

    Too passive, I agree......V-span or Sura could bring the fire....but one of them has to get in the rotation to play.
