transition defense was so bad tonight...offense was ok. interior defense and rebounding was a huge issue also.
While the Rockets are trying hard to find themselves, all the other western conference team are happily winning and making it to the play offs. Time is running out for the Rockets.
Defense again steps up too late. What the hell... play some defense for 48 minutes. Not in spurts. And the offense... Yao is in his little slump of losing rebounds and not being able to execute on consecutive baskets. Brooks is in a major shooting slump. And then injuries are killing us with Battier and Artest out. Effort is a lot better... kind of.
there are chemistry issues, very bad vibes from the team tonight one or two of the following need to go: 1. Yao Ming 2. Mcgrady 3. Rick Adelman
It is not that we cannot lose, the problem is we need to lose with dignity if we have to. Come on, rockets, show me your heart!!!
Tmac played only 1 good quater. Yao was terrible. Brooks was so bad but still got much play time. Whats that all about!
Yeah, I caught that too. For a team that was supposed to have the best chemistry in the NBA last season something is terribly wrong.
Adelman sucks, Brooks has been struggling with his shot lately and we let him take all the shots in the 4th? Why did we take Wafer out of the game, he was having a good game. T-mac couldn't hold AI at the end of 4th and T-mac was grabbing his knee as usual, so do we take him out, no. Good effort tonight from Scola, but we also gave up tons of layups, why did we sign Mutumbo for? To cheerlead? At least he tries to block everything. Adelman shows no emotion either to try to get his team up, starting to miss JVG. We will turn it around once Battier comes, people are stupid to already say Lottery team, obviously you arent a true fan and already gave up on your team.
Mac and Yao is not the issue. Coaching is questionable, but the root of all this problem is back to the guards and lack of focus through out the quarter. 3rd quarter has been the Rockets public enemy number 1. This is the same scenario as the Atlanta and Wizards game.
Yao has been blocked 49 times this season,second in the NBA. 1 Al-Jerferson 54 3 russell-westbrook 44 4 john salmons 43 5 devin harris 43
I dont understand. Why the hell was Wafer not in the game in the 4th quarter??? He is one of the few Rockets that have been playing well lately. Im starting to think Adelman is just the wrong coach for this team. Time will tell i guess.
some major bricks in the 4th from T-Mac, Brooks, and Barry too bad Von Wafer didn't take those shots instead...good call Rick
