+1 Some of the guys on this board don't deserve to be fans. You guys need to appreciate what you have. We're 10-6, leading the division. When was the last time we STARTED the season 10-6?
You know what we do deserve to be upset about this team, you know how many times we have been let down by this organization on a yearly basis? Some of us have been fans of this team since birth and year in and year out we see ourselves get punked out of the playoffs first round or not even make the playoffs at all. I'm just sick of it and this year I expect more from this team. We have a lot of salary out on that court and we should be dominating teams with this type of so called talent. Like i've stated before, if we are going to lose to teams like the Pacers then we can cut our salary in half and lose without our stars. A loss is a loss no matter who is on the team. Just sick of it.
with t-mac we could have won.. or lose by 10. i don´t care weather he plays or not if he is not healthy, no more excuses, don´t play at all if you feel so, but retire at the end of the season if so.
If you don't want to be a fan of this team anymore, then quit. Go join the Lakers bandwagon. Its one ****ing game dude, there will probably be 10-15 more before the season is out. The Celtics lost to the Pacers early in the season and they turned out fine. And if they lose 3 more games after that we will have a .500 record. So the **** what? Its November dude. This happens every season and people freak out and call the end of the world. At the end of the day we will still most likely be a top 4 seed in the playoffs, probably win the division. Its what we do in the playoffs that matter, not the regular season, the complaining is pointless honestly.
How bout you STFU and don't tell me who to be a fan of. Maybe come up with some solutions instead of attacking me. We are all frustrated at this point.
He pointed out that Indiana was very capable of winning the game and he was piled on by a bunch of Tmac apologists for being negative. Sure enough, Houston loses by 1.
How do you know those guys were Tmac apologists? I see those were guys who were saying that the ball movement gets much better whenever Tmac gets off the floor. Look, we lost one game, you can criticize the coach's game plan, you can criticize the execution by the players. Do we really need to blame the guy who didn't even play the game? Or the fans on this board who actually have no say in this whole thing?
look if we can't win without tracy v. an indy team, what's the point of adding ron artest? what difference is this year's team with past year's teams who can't play without tracy? the loss tells more about where this team is in terms of what they still can't do without tracy - win a damn game against a decent team and everybody basically wanted tracy to sit out anyways b/c ONLY he slows down the offense, stops the ball, doesn't run the offense, doesn't play D. so shouldn't they play better without tracy? apparently not.
The pacers loss is't T-Mac's fault as far as it is the organisation in general. I'm sure that Adleman had a say in sitting T-Mac out. I suggest that we play him every game though give him limited minutes if we are cruising to a win. If the game is close, then we put him in. Why sit him out completely? Btw: I am unsure to T-Mac's current health since the last injury he sustained. Is this why he sat out?
You either have a short memory or are just stupid. What happened last year, do you remember? What about the year before that, do you remember? We started off 6-11 or 17-17, Tmac was averaging 40% from the field. Basically the same thing is happening this season. We all know how this story pans out. We get hot at the All-star break and finish the season over 50 wins. Except this year, instead of being 6-11, or 17-17, we are 10-6 and leading the division. And I expect the same thing to happen this year. Our schedule starts getting easier, Yao and/or Tmac go down with an injury and we go on a run in spite of it. It happens every season and hasn't failed us yet. You want solutions? You want answers? Last time I checked, a championship isn't won in November. Patience dude.
By the way, I like how you use the phrase "lets think of some solutions" as if Adelman is going to come on this website and look at threads like "you know, I've never tried that". The problem is that the players just aren't used to each other. You can't just throw a 20-4-4 guy like Artest into the starting line up and expect everything to be a smooth transition. Yes, it worked for Boston, but it helped that from the get-go they were all healthy to start training camp while we have been working with mending players all year. And really, we aren't doing that bad compared to Boston last season. What, they were like 12-3 or something like that to start the season? Its not like we're 5 games under .500 or something.
Agent, your hysterical. I guess its Yao and Artest's top strength when there driving to the basket just like T-Mac. I was very happy with both Yao and Ron's effort. You need to be alittle more positive about this loss. I read a few posts in here from some fan's before the Pacer game stating that the rockets should have no problem beating the Pacers. Do you know of anybody that may have said something like that?
nope. its time for you to be drafted by the rockets and lead us all the way. or become rich enough to buy the rockets and acquire "sufficient talent" to do so. I want to read threads about Yao's wow character, Tmac parties wth piddy and Artest Rap career. Not this garbage.
Do you know this forum is about "Houston Rockets 2008: Game Action & Roster Moves"? It seems you come to a wrong forum!
