    Negative: Missed layups, freethrows

    Positive: Defense on Boozer

    Difference: KYLE KOVER!

    Suggestion: Get a pure shooter already!

    seriously....is it so hard to improve ft???

    there is absolutely no excuse for missing so many damn fts when OUR DAMN center is shooting 85%.

    if a big man can shoot 85%, everyone else should be able too.

    This should be an easy win with Yao. The Jazz were very flat. Just bad luck & bad timing.

    Agreed. Lost the game at the free throw line.

    If the Rockets didn't shoot 44% (or something) from the FT line, they would have won the game. I don't understand how Scola can be a 60% FT shooter, how Mac can be at 69%, how Landry can be at 50%...Pathetic. This game showcased the overall intensity of the team, which just so happened to equate to nothing. I don't know how much the lethargic fans have to do with the low energy level, but home games are supposed to fire up the players, not bring them down.

    Can't fault Tmac alone. The whole team decided not to show up.

    If the Rockets miss the playoffs, I'd be for trading McGrady for a set of team players.

    I want to see team ball. Players passing more. Getting more shots off a pass rather than off the dribble.

    I can't wait to see this line up.

    Yao
    Novak
    Battier
    T-Mac
    Head/Rafer/Brooks

    Novak will bury those wide open looks when T-Mac/Yao get doubled.

    What were u expecting? We were without one of our stars, and the only guy they were without was Hart.

    Didn't we convert a few of the missed FT's with offensive rebounds?

    Horrible loss. Jazz are a really bad road team. We should have won this game regardless of whether or not Yao plays if we had executed like we did when Mac was out.

    No inside presence = not much open looks.

    No Yao, but still no fast break.

    Miss Yao tonight, we fight but not enough firepower.

    FT a killer, but I hope is just one bad loss, lets start another streak other than the Warriors easy schedule.

    We've all seen first hand what happens when T-Mac isn't there to create shots, especially in the 4th quarter.

    So play as if we didn't have T-mac out there. So no Yao & T-mac and we beat the Jazz? Wow, smokin something.

    Excuse me YOF. But its all about the Depth Perception. They need to take down the toyota center and make it look like Oracle Arena.

    But then again, maybe we will make more ft's if fans actually buy lower bowl tickets and ATTEND the DAM GAME.
