    I got crazy when the Spurs turn it around in the last minute. Tons of fire was burning in my heart.

    The biggest liability is T-Mac. It’s absolutely a truth. He stops our offence.He wastes most of our shots. He hardly keeps positive on the court.He doesn’t have a heart of winning much less the championship.

    If we won’t trade T-Die, please sit him out although he sometimes has an perfect assist and an occasional explosion.

    I wonder why our coach feed Yao less and less. There’s no doubt that he was and is and will be our steady scorer.

    We need improvement. We are no longer a first-round loser.

    I wish the rockets no longer make me heartbreaken.

    Hey, I am extrememly disapointed at the Rockets as well, to a point where I don't feel no tension or pain after this unexpected loss.

    But, I'll say this, it is NO INDIVIDUAL's fault. As a team, the rockets has some issues. I would not blame it on tmac or yao or on anybody. If we were to single out one man, perhaps that man would be rick adelman, for failing repeatedly to use the right players and motivate our team. But it ain't his falut our players are playibng below expectations.

    It is wise to put Tmac on the bench when he struggles like first 3 games of this season.
    Tmac is way too inconsistent.

    the coach feeds yao less and less because hes never had a superstar center and doesn't know how to coach yao, he had lawrence funderburke and brad miller..brad is a shooter and funderburke speaks for itself..he just isn't used to coaching a low post threat, i hope it works out though

    We gotta regain our great defense and fabulous 3pt shots after shane comes back. We played a good defense last night, only letting spurs get 77pts through the whole game, but the offense is REALLY a big problem. I don't want to blame tmac but I feel badly disapointed with his "big show" at offense end. Tmac is a superstar because he's gonna play a great game every two games, say, he has to suck right after a big game. He did well in phoenix(the conflict was exception) so he has to suck in the next game. I think ric should put him onto inactive roster list after a game in which he performs fine. I expect tmac to explode next game, show his passion and capability to the audiences who attend toyota center to witness his another big game.

    This is fuked up!!Tmac was blaming on others' defence when himself got 2/12 in the game and wasted 3 shots in the final 5 mins!!!!

    We have to let him know, he might be the one who can score the most, but he is not the one who has right to shoot all the time!!!----you are not the tmac in orlando anymore, we have 2 more superstars. not a one man team.

    stop the jumper, keep passing the ball, don't keep the ball for more than 3 secs in your hands, plzzzzzzzz

    Tmac has a female brain!!!! selfish and shy!!!! and always pick the small one or rookie to fight with!!!!! *** you tmac!!!!! we hate you. plz leave houston!!!! go play 1 on 1 with your little girls!!!!!

    RA is a player coach, in other words, he won't put Tmac on the bench, because he is afraid of super stars.

    He was trying to play like he always does. His shots weren't falling, and he wasn't getting much separation on his drives. The Rockets had 3 other offensive options on the floor they could have gone to (Brooks, Artest, Yao), but they wanted to play through McGrady too much. I'm not sure who was calling the plays down the stretch.

    I knew it! castro is/ was a rockets fan! viva la revolucion! Do not worry comrade fidel, adelman will figure it out. It's just frustrating watching the al chemist do his experiments. But when it all comes together, It will be something greater than anything you've witnessed in your lifetime.

    It's not clear. I'd probably need to rewatch the half of the final quarter. Going by the play by plays, these were the Rockets offensive possessions when T-Mac entered the game:

    Code:
    [B]      time        score         what happend[/B]
    1     5:58-5:43   73-63         Yao TO (offensive foul)
    2     5:31-5:13   73-65         T-Mac missed 16-footer
    3     5:01-4:43   75-65         Artest makes 16-footer
    4     4:20-3:21   75-68         Brooks misses 3, Landry wins JB,
                                    Brooks misses layup
    5     3:11-2:42   75-70         Brooks misses 2-point shot
    6     2:21-1:59   75-71         Yao draws foul, Yao TO (Duncan steal)
    7     1:50-1:30   75-74         T-Mac misses 20-footer
    8     0:59-0:46   75-76         T-Mac misses running shot in the lane
    9     0:19-0:01   75-76         Brooks draws foul, Brooks gets blocked
                                    on layup
    10    0:01-0:00   75-77         Artest misses 3-pointer
    
    It was really just a mixture of bad offense from all players involved, and poor defense on the other end. Those 2 3-pointers we gave up to Matt Bonner really hurt us. Yao's turnovers hurt us. T-Mac's 2 missed jumpers weren't good shots. We can blame the loss on a lot of things. I was as mad as anyone at T-Mac after our loss to the Lakers. Here I thought he was a little more into the game, but he just wasn't getting the lift on his shots or separation on his drives that he got in Phoenix.
