TMac was not able to impose it in the last 2 important games. And Scola is starting to shrink. And RAfer is injured. What can we expect in the playoff? This is painful. Contested jumpshot is not an option in the playoff unless there's 3 seconds left. Otherwise, this will be good for one game in the best of seven series. This can not win a series. Team play wins in the playoff.
Another stupid thread. We are fine. How many of you thought we were not going to be in the playoffs at all. Rockets will regroup.
Tmac didnt play defense....he forgot to will himself on that end and Brewer owned him in the 3rd quarter...back door cut after back door cut. Maddening. DD
I'm glad I wasn't the only one noticing that. And my wife was surprised he collected his first foul in the 4th quarter. I told her that you usually have to play defense to get a foul called on you.
I think Adelman's priorities have been rather clear the past few games. He's more concerned about giving guys 'breathers' to keep them fresh for the playoffs than he is, it seems, about winning home court. Anyways, not that big a deal, we're still in the playoffs -- without Yao -- and already have 54 wins...no one even came close to thinking that would be the case, so the season is a 'success' given what we had to deal with, anything else is just icing on the cake at this point. You're NEVER going to be able to fully assess this team until you have Yao/McGrady play an entire season healthy, which at this point I am very close to conceding that it might never be the case. But those are the cards we're dealt...so get over it!
