i guess this team's biggest problem is the coaching.Adelman?i suspect he can lead us to the championship.fire him! BTY ,trade Mcgrady while he has the remaining value
zero value....maybe trade him for marbury, haha....a few things of note 1) Yao only shot 3 shots in the 2nd half. As a coach, you have to find a way to get him the ball more. I feel sorry for Yao. He put it best tonight when he was quoted saying..."We have a (play) call," Yao said. "We have everybody on the same page and organized. But still the quality of the screen, the quality of the penetration, the quality of the dribble, everything affects the quality of the shot, the last guy who takes the shot. It’s more than just missing shots. It’s everything."...to me he's talking about Tmac who seems lackadaisical coming off screens or isolating and taking 5 seconds to initiate a move. 2) Why bring Rafer back in when you know he struggles against CP3? He was dominated again by the all-star and you can see CP3 salivates when he plays against Rafer. Rafer was struggling like he normally does with his inconsistency. As a coach, down the stretch, i would double every player until Rafer gets the ball since he usually misses. Easy strategy. 3)Why play Luther Head when you have a normal sized shooting guard in Wafer on the bench? Luther will never be a big part of any teams plan and he will always crack under pressure. 4) Tracy, Tracy, Tracy.....i dont know what to say.... This team confuses me....
As much as I love SF3, please do not bring up him again on this board. IMHO, he's the best one to replace TMac when TMac had made his mind not to step up. But, Steve in gone, swallow it!
The 4th. It was pretty much at the end of the game. She was really attractive too. Not just her big chesticles.
the rockets must be secretly pissed at t-mac. i don't remember when a "star" has sucked so much so consistently.
You don't think Von can change the outcome of the game, do you? Von was able to make the team because he showed better shooting in the preseason, its simple like that. If in a period he lost his shooting touch, he would be benched or even inactivated. All previous rockets now playing in China are way better than Von if talking about anything other than shooting. You have the picture? He won't play if no shooting.
Wafer is better than HEAD....Injured SF3 is better than Head.....HEAD would never be on any contender period.....get over it!
Have you seen that tear-drop by Rafer? Is this the worst one all time in the NBA history? Have you seen that pass by Tmac? Is this the best one all time if someone can catch it? Do we have a hope to pass the first round?
Rockets lost this game because of Coach. It was obvious that Tracy and Rafer just did not have it tonight, but Adelman still played them that much. Bench was playing a lot better (just looking at their shooting percentage compared to that by the starters except Yao), but Adelman still took them out in last 6 minutes. I don't know what Adelman was thinking or seeing. Sticking with the starters, even if they suck? Or he just doesn't see what we as fans see.
the rockets played horrible. atleast the starters did. but the refs made some questionable calls once again. like that offensive goaltending on carl landry. i love what that one ref did by penalizing tyson chandler when he flopped. they should make calls like that more often. and there was a time where i think chandler or west was in the key for more than 3 seconds.
"I don't know........". Our coach is the problem for the game. It is obvious that Alston and Mclady are useless in this game. We put two players without offensive ability in the game.
One for twelve to end the fourth, now that is some "non-clutch" shooting. TMac, Alston, Battier, et al took the night off. The reserves looked decent, I would have played them more. Here is my view, if you are too hurt to play, sit, let someone have a chance. Don't limp around and drag the team down with you. Adelman seems so "out of it" so often, but so does the team. There are some nights, I can't see this team even making the playoffs. This was one of them. Sometimes it looks like injuries, other nights it looks like they are just not that motivated.
as I said before, same reasons we lost this game: SheMac Rafer and bad coaching, RA has no gut of benching sheMac, and Rafer should not start, occassionally he has 7-8 shooting night, but most of time he is a pathetic shooter. It is so rough to be a rockets fan nowadays
if we can see the problem of rockets and we know the solution, Les can see it, there is no ways he cannot see this, but he still has not done anything, so, that means he does not care and he does not want to win the champion, he just want to make money by using Yao's market value, man, this hurts the hearts of fans
Why don't they pass the ball to Yao? Or why do others always forget there is a big man in the center, a man who could make a goal much easier? Would someone pls tell tracy that he'd missed alot and passing the ball to Yao maybe easier for Rockets? A 7-6 big man running for this point to the other point, wrestling against 2 or 3 players, but couldn't get the ball, sometimes, some players are playing aimlessly. I mean, does head as in luther head really means the part on top of the human body? Please. Had rockets passed the ball inside, chandler might have been sitting on the bench for whole 4th quarter. And pls the final score was awfully ridiculous for Rockets. P.S: I don't know if others have same opinion, but I think Yao is pretty energetic for the last 3-4 games, I mean he was more aggressively getting the rebound, and playing hard. And to: David stern, I started to watch NBA again after MJ's retirement drama was becoz of Yaoming, Rockets so far is still not a top team, but if any ref would do that dirty officiating as some did in R-C 3days ago, and making Rockets' championship dream even more hopeless, then I am done with NBA.Period.
