bad game by Rockets, in the last period, Rockets has so many changes to take over the game, but they missed so many open shots, and some bad defense, they should won this one, so pitty
terrible execution down the stretch. chuck hayes featured in the low post with minute to go? rafer wild shot on 2 bigs? huge loss that can be summed up in those two plays.
You shouldnt go to a Chuck Hayes post move in the warmups, much less with game on the line. Artest does a really good job on Tmac. In last minutes of the game, he pretty much bodied him up and denied him any looks. Brain farts by Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier at the end of the game. Rafer Alston getting back in shape. Scola was nice and steady.

We wont win another game til we get back to Toyota Center ! We had to win this game and T-Mac did everything he could but not one other player besides Scola stepped up. McGrady had a look on his face like " What else can I do team !! " Rafer could pack his bags tonight and just do us a favor and leave the team now, Brooks could do better !! This shows why you need a great PG and YAO !!!!!!!!!! F- this game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same old Rockets. We will fight for the 8th seed. Or better: others will fight, we will sit and wait for other teams to lose games.
no Landry, Bobby Jackson? I know Adelman wants to give confidence to the starters, but with Rafer's recent play (sigh - I'm going to have to accept the fact Rafer's simply inconsistent), he really should've tried BJ in there. And I think we didn't have any timeouts remaining
Rafer was one of the few guys making shots in the 4th, so let's not put it all on him. Where the Rockets lost the game was on the defensive end with all the fouls(the refs had more than a little to do with this though) and their offensive execution(or lack thereof) in the last couple minutes. If Shane doesn't make an absolute prayer of a 3-pointer as the shotclock expires, T-Mac never would've even been in position to brick a potential game winner at the buzzer.
i didn't watch the game, but where is the defense again tonight? 51% shooting by the kings? we definitely are not playing the same kind of defense that we did during the streak.
and if someone would go watch it again, Scola was open but Rafer passed to Hayes instead.. sigh wtf...
He did not have all 32 on Artest. For the last minutes Artest did shut down Tmac. It was pretty obvious.
