    I hear Ron Artest is supposed to be back for the next game on Tuesday so with the big three back I will just erase yet another BS game out of my head and start with this game on Tuesday.

    It was just a bad night for the Rockets. The play where Yao and Scola missed three straight put backs pretty much sums up the game. Rockets were tired, weren't getting calls and weren't hitting thier shots. Thats a loss every time. This game doesn't make me want to trade anyone, they just need to get back into rythim for the next game. ;)

    Outside of T-mac and Yao nobody scored in double figures.

    Yao shot 10/17 (59%) from the field and put 24/13 last night and you blame him for the lost? Your life really bite you in the ass, right?

    there is a difference between "summing up a loss" and blaming Yao for the loss. larsv8 was showing how the entire game was summed up by three missed opportunities. that sequence was a microcosm for the game- missed chances.

    Yes. I would like to sum up the loss for the disappearance of faT-MAC in the second half ;)

    the loss for me can be summed by a lack of defense, four straight turnovers that led to easy baskets! I still can't get over that sequence. I see some people saying they aren't mad, back-to-back, no Artest, move on, etc., but this one was the worst loss to ever have to swallow. I am truly disgusted with the ENYIRE TEAM EFFORT last night. anyone who watched the game should be equally as disgusted with the team. this is not on any one individual, whether he played, sat, or coached.

    You summed the loss by a lack of defense and the turnovers? Do you really think we deserve the win when we shoot 35% percentage?

    Can someone make a thread of this. I'm still a rookie so I can't make a thread. Ron Artest will be coming OFF THE BENCH from now on. But he will still get a lot of minutes. I think this is best for the Rockets

    Yes, there was a lot of things can be summed up, including the poor shooting of entire team except Yao, including keep ignoring Yao at 4th quarter (as RA and Tmac pointed out), etc. And you, conveniently chose the one that Yao missed a couple of shots, which obviously fits your way of thinking and reasoning. If this is not the hatred, what is it?

    Even at 35%, Rox could have won if they didn't have careless turnovers.
    Look, those 3 consecutive steals were almost like a 12-point turnaround:
    - you didn't get a chance to score at all
    - you gave opponents easy 2

    When Rox is shooting well, 12 points can be overcome, but at 35%, every point counts.

    shut up, the guy your getting mad at isn't even the guy who said it you genius. oh and if you look at the warriors and clippers, both of those teams play aggressive, both of them is more athletic than the rockets, im happy to have a 1-1 record after those 2 games, instead of losing both.

    You shut up! Do you even know what the heck are you talking about? All I was trying to say was blame Yao to the lost instaed of your boy Tmac and others was simply lame!

    about how rockets are playing horrible. i can't take it.

    make a big big run. their capable too.
