Well very sloppy game. I still think that giving Deke some burn would have helped us tremendously. Novak was deadly with the three pt shot but he gets burned on defense so much that overall, he's a liability.
novak gave us a great lift off the bench in the third, but when i saw him come out starting the fourth, i knew it was a bad sign. Korver killed him on defense, and that was the difference in the game, he's a complete defensive liability. Let him come in to rejuvenate the offense, but put him right back on the bench thereafter.
RA's not the problem, the players are the problem. Matt H. is more talented than any rox player except for the 2 superstars, and he comes off the bench.
From the best game of the season to the ugliest. Frustrating. Someone slap Scola, for a guy with such a good stroke, how the hell can he shoot 60% FT on the year?
The game was over when...... They had Korver taking the 3 and Rocket's answer was.... Rafer with the 3. Rockets will lose that battle every single time. And there is nothing free about free throws when it comes to Rockets.
This loss is big because it may very well be that we can't consistently beat the good teams. We won't be facing Seattle in the playoffs.
ya, we have a whole half of a season left, as bad as weve done, we can do the opposite the 2nd half, never give up..... we WILL be in the post season...
well...we got exposed by a better team when playing 4 ROOKIES! Mentally we were fine. It's our lack of FT shooting and offensive ability that really did us in. I hope Morey get us some slashers before the trade deadline. A Magette type player would fit well with our team. But i'm sure we won't get him.
