    I hope you all see the effect of missing Rafer. It happened last season too. He may not be the best, but he's important to the flow of the Rockets offense.

    But of course no one will say this loss has anything to do with him. Just drop it and move on.

    BTW we always suck against young athletic teams that can shoot but take solice in the fact they aren't the teams that win titles. We didn't lose to a real title-contender today.

    RA was experimenting the rotation in the 3rd quarter, which was the reason why we lost the game.

    Yao was playing team ball he was blocking shots,getting rebounds and he was scoring first quarter. T-mac went on his own agenda and teh team as a whole suffered.Scola was passing the ball well and all of sudden carl landry is in the game. This loss you have to look and the leader T-mac and the coach.

    I'm no Yof or Tof. I feel both played below what they are capable, but I gotta say, Tmac just chucked it up when they had the Raptors down, giving them a chance. Gotta be like Kobe and murder the other team. Also Adleman is an idiot for sticking with Landry.

    Yes he does play very scared but i guess he thinks if he makes a mistake he will be right back out of the rotation

    Scola at least got one field goal attempted at the end.

    This is nothing to do with Rafer. Adelman just made stupid decisions.

    yao had a wimpy rebounding game, no doubt, but did we lose on yao's rebounding? Dont be a hater. There are plenty of other nights to hate on yao, but not today. if you do, you are exposed.
    We had 11pts lead, and getting easy baskets and stops , why all of sudden that was gone from us.

    IF you think THIS rockets team(without significant personnel changes) are going to pass the first round this year, you are delutional.

    Where are all those people who said we would do so well when we play eastern teams. Looks like we suck against both conferences.

    Tmac shoot the ball too casually. I guess he took Toronto personally.

    And Yao needs to speak out to demand the ball himself.

    According to the boxscore Scola is the only one with a positive +/- lol.

    >>1. Tmac shot us out of the game when we had a big lead.

    Tmac did the EXACT same thing during the loss to Golden State.

    >>2. Yao being very passive and not contribute much on both ends.

    Yao only shot the ball a dozen times, they just didn't give him enough touches.

    How in the world could Yao miss the dunk if he wasn't pushed and shoved under the basket?

    I definately support you! The reason Rocket lose the game is that Rocket lose rythym but Raptors got rythym. Who made Rocket lose rythym? T-Mac definately is!!!!!!!!!!!
