    they are all getting mad because the team has lost 2 games and we overhyped too much and people think we should be 4-0.

    the jazz have the best record in west so far 5-0.

    I agree it is going to to be a rough start butthey will get it. The main thing is that all 5 players on the court must run the offese which requires them to move their bodies and the ball. T-mac and Yao especially need to remeber this

    The Rockets have always been a grind it out type of team. We shouldn't be surprised that they are playing like this, they've been doing it for the last couple of years. The acquisition of one player isn't gonna change that. The Rockets are ugly winners. ;)

    This was the style of the team under Van Gundy. But its been two years already. When is this team gonna start running the Adelman offense? What happened to the high post plays, the cuts, the fluid ball movement, etc. they wanted to implement? Tmac's back and Yao's knees can't handle many more grind-it-out games.

    We don't have the personnel to do that. Yao is a good passer, but he's no Divac or even Brad Miller. He could high post a few times but his skill set favors the low post. Certainly none of our PF's come close to C-Webbs skills in the high post. T-Mac, Artest, Barry, and Brooks are probably the only players capable of running that system to perfection.

    Ok, T-Mac has his best night this season against the Blazers and the Rockets still lose, same for the Celtics as well.

    Rockets vs Mavericks, T-Mac sits the rest of 4th, The Rockets loom, and Yao was the clear cut star of that game,.

    They also went on a run again against the OKC thunder, but T-Mac had an alright game, his FG% was crap though

    Yao is the MVP not T-Mac.

    Rockets is not lack of any players who can put the ball into the rim, rockets truely needs a LEADER on the floor, TMAC cant be a leader even though he can score a lot sometimes, the whole team plays motionless in recent three games and they need to have a man stands out and gives the team a injection. I think that is what urgently needed for the rox.

    It was BY FAR his best game because of his defense and passing. Landry should thank him for getting a few of his easy baskets.

    Get used to it - people get wigged out around here after one bad PLAY and are ready to trade people. A lot of hyper-micro-fixation goes on projected towards the Rockets and individual players.

    I thought Landry was great off the boards and very active. I was disappointed in his midrange game though that was supposed to be so improved. Did he make a single one last night? He could've had 26+ points if he made a few of them. If only we could really make a Scola/Landry hybrid.

    It was good to see yao getting a few blocks today

    Worrying thing was that T-mac didnt get a single field goal. And i've sorta notices a pattern here. On games that T-mac plays awesome, Yao and Ron don't play their best. And games where T-mac Plays bad, Yao and Ron play a a lot better :confused:
