To be honest,We need Shane Battier Back urgently for finishing the team-work defend!!

If Shane was on Roy on that last play he would not have left him like Tmac did.

DD

 

shane is definitely a key player in this team. just look at the 2 games we lost, It's Ray Allen and Brandon Roy who beat us. I bet if Shane was playing, we could win both game with ease.

 

Absolutely true. I hold the same opinion. We need Shane.
Macgrady is really great at shooting tonight, but I don't want to mention his defense on Roy at the last moment. By the way, does anyone think that Macgrady holds the ball too long?

 

Dude, they were supposed to SWITCH.

 

Please don't get your hopes up, even with Battier back, the defense will not be like it once was.

 

Debatable. We don't know if they were. Tmac called for it, but did Adelman? Don't know

And WTH is Chipout???

 

theres a reason why the value of Battier = Rudy Gay.

 

Too be honest, the blame on the last play should go to Aldeman, Yao, Mac, and Artest.

Aldeman gets the blame for putting Yao in that situation when we needed someone much quicker in that scenario. There wasn't enough time for a rebound or tip-in so no need for rebounding.

Yao gets the blame for not jumping in the passing lane. There was nobody behind him on the right side of the court. He is too slow to be up on top at that time of the game.

T-Mac gets the blame for allowing Roy to burn him like that. If he was a bit closer to him, it would not have mattered that he and Artest were supposed to switch. I don't know what the heck happened to him on that last play.

Artest gets the blame (probably least blame of the 4) because he seemed to get caught by a good screen and was late getting there.

But that last play is not our real problem. Our real problem is that we have a limpy guy out there carrying out team on offense and getting burned on defense. We have a center who seems like he is already burned out and is back to the point of getting ZERO respect from the refs (except for the moving screensm LOL). We have a guy who still needs to learn to play within the offense and not snap into NY streetballer and toss up 3s.

But our biggest problem without a doubt is the PG situation. It is between Rafer, who runs the offense really well but can't shoot, and Brooks, who shoots very well but can't get a entry pass and takes some back shots. If we can only find a mad scientist to put there genes together. . .

 

I'm not sure but does it have anything to do with Fritos.

 

I've always always always said hands down Shane Battier is my favorite Rocket, well, he and SF3.

 

thank you, i've been waiting so long to fins out who you're favorite rockets are.

 

Anytime.

Wait.


Are you being sarcastic?


No.


Wait.


You're probably mad at me because I didn't ask who your favorite rockets are, right? Well buddy, I wanna know, who are your favorite rockets?

 

So Roy makes a 30ft er after going 5-17 and we need shane, right?

 

it wouldn't hurt.

 

does anybody know what date exactly he can play?
im so pissed at this blazers game. we would've beaten
the celtics also. and we need another 3 point shooter
out there to take pressure off yao. hes playing horribly
right now. BOUNCE BACK YAO!

 

couldn't agree more,Battier's absence brings crisis

 

Well we were terrible at both ends of the floor so far.w/ battier i believe that we are much better defensively esp. against shooters and against players that can create off the dribble but i think its the team D that has to improve as well.shane wont really change much of that if the team doesnt commit itself.the celtics play great D because everyone is moving their feet on D and play TEAM D its not like they dont have a battier or artest to shut down guys from the perimeter like we do...

the blazers burned us w/ their shooting and when they miss they get the offensive board and the putback.that already reflects the terrible D that we have..we really do need shane he's our glue guy but this rockets team is way too good to be feeling the effects of shane not being on the court.

 

sorry what i meant to say is...its not like they have a battier or artest....etc...
