    He played matador defense, then didnt take it to the hole when the rox needed free throws.

    Very true WTF happened. I thought Yao was to be getting more shots. He was getting going and then the offense went away from him.

    Those wide open 3's had to be taken. When Yao got hot, Memphis was bound to leave somebody open on the perimeter.

    What lost us the game was our defense. We gave up too many easy layups and dunks. Memphis ran a better "motion" offense than us, and they moved the ball around to find the easy layup/dunk.

    Didn't help that Artest went 1-10.

    To be honest.

    When only Yao and Ron got 20 pts at the same match,Rox won all games.

    When only Yao and T-Mac got 20 pts at the smae match,Rox.... :D

    I think we jinxed this team. Rockets defense is overrated. Memphis hustled on every play. I wouldn't be surprised if they get blown out in the Minnesota game. (by the way im not watching it because i might get a heart attack.)

    tracy got only 1 play ran specifically for him. the rest of the shots were just 3s near the end to try to get closer. what do you expect?

    rudy was the problem tonight? he was the reason we lost? :eek: REALLY?

    the problem was A LACK OF INTERIOR DEFENSE. the defense was bad all around. but yet people are singling out tracy? the hate is getting TOO strong.

    so much for Yao needing to take 25 shots, Tmac nearly doubled him in attempts...they need to have wafer or barry giving Yao the entry pass for the whole game...

    I agree with 1individual, ARTEST needs to go! Trade him and get whatever we can. Better that than nothing. Im over the Artest lovefest already. The guy's not the player I though he was. OVER-RATED

    Everytime Yao goes out teams get more inside shots but Adelman just sits there with his loyalty BS and puts in Hayes/Landry for Yao...Landry is a SF/PF he can't contest those shots.

    I don't know why Deke isn't Yao's primary backup, when guys hit layups they get going and when guys get going they make more shots because their confidence is rising.

    We too small when Yao sits on the bench.

    There is just no continuity with this team. No chemistry. No defense. No athleticism. I'm starting to agree that a trade has to go down.

    This was the Memphis game. :p
    terrible loss. So far 3 scrubby teams have had our number year: 76ers, Pacers, and now the Grizzlies(WHO??).

    Some of the ppl:
    Stop blaming Rafer
    he played an above-average game

    The main fault was on Artest with his low percentage and the coach with bad decisions.

    lol everything is T-mac's fault on this board.

    The bench just didn't show up tonight.

    Our defense didn't show up tonight.(Yes T-mac, and he wasn't the only one struggling on defense)

    Yao had the bubble guts.

    Memphis hit crazy shots.

    Stop blaming one man.
