    Garnett lacks class so it was not surprising at all.

    Before this season I had liked Paul Pierce and considered him classy but seems like a lot of Garnett has rubbed on Pierce this season.

    He has been one arrogant sunufaa b**** this season.

    Fully agree! TMac knows when to show off and when to take a break. He will play great in facing next weak team!

    Fortunatelly you are not the GM. Wut did I say to make you use CAPS against me? :mad: I only stated my opinion that we are a better team with yao. so you dont agree that we would have a better chance to pull this out with yao?when we face this kinda team, the defence in playoffs, we will be missing yao. our outside shots cannot always be at good %.

    I think they did miss Yao tonight. Let's face it, asking T-Mac to carry the team by himself is asking too much, especially against a team like the Celtics and their crazy defense.

    My advice would be don't sweat the playoffs. No matter what happens I think that the groundwork has been laid this year and that next season the Rockets could really soar, assuming everyone can stay healthy.

    The fans leaving early doesnt surprise me, TC began to fill to the capacity because of those bandwagon fans, and I am sure just about all of them were the ones that were leaving

    I'm disappointed in the fans. They're suppose to stay until the buzzer and applaud our team for the 22 game winning steak. I guess all the bandwagons fans jumped off?

    Penetrate to the FT line.. sigh ok. He was being doubled whenever he put the ball on the floor. I would have preffered more screen plays for a pull up jumper or heck, rise over his defender and just shoot. He just kept dumping it to his teammates as soon they doubled.

    TMac did not want to get injury. That has been the way he played whole season in facing a tuff team.

    I can not agree with you more. Maybe tonight is not a good time to be critical, but TMac showed subpar efforts which bothered me. I did not see any drive by him. He is simply not competitive the Laker game and this one. Someone needs to wake him up. He is a superstar. He needs to create something for the team, even from nothing. That's how you earn your ridiculous paycheck!!!!

    This is the kind of game I miss Bonzi. Bonzi really gives you another option to post-up and he's always a mis-match for the other team. And Bonzi is really a good rebounder at both ends.

    If not Tmac then Rafer, someone has to be a penetration threat.......


    Heck Post up Tmac......but I was frustrated as heck watching them dribble side to side and then hoist up a 3...

    That was AWFUL......no movements, no back cuts, no screens, no rolls.....nothing.....

    Just deer in headlights play......

    Yeck.

    Game started late, and most fans do have day jobs. I don't think the fans meant any disrespect. Game was ending around 11 PM, and then there is the ride home, and then winding down.

    I agree with you 100% TMAC NEEDS TO BE GREAT EVERYNIGHT! That is why I dont see him wining the MVP. I still love tmac to death...but he just needs to be more aggressive!! When is was in orlando he was the scoring champ twice....that is the tmac we need to see with yao and when the offense is not clicking

    The one thing I did not like about tonight is that the Rox really did not have good ball movement. In part due to the quickness of the Celtic's switches and defensive rotation but the Rox have gone away from the ball movement that was so prevalent the first five games after Yao went down. It may also be due to the absence of Landry.

    Well, at least the Nuggets and Warriors also lost.
