CHOKE CITY!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! Mavs had nothing to play for and they punked the Rockets who had EVERYTHING to play for.
They haven't adjusted to the Yao fronting issue in years. The first coach who can solve that problems will make us a winner. Maybe it's just Yao. The Rockets will be on the road for the playoffs and they aren't a good road team. First round exit. Again.
I feel sick in the pit of my stomach, like a Cubs fan. Same ole, same ole. Conned again. Might as well bring on "one and done" just for old times sake. Maybe the Rockets will be swept as an act of mercy. Torture like this should be illegal. What's worse the "Mary Poppins" spin machine is about to crank up.
Gotta blame Adelman for this one. One of the courtside announcers (that chick) overheard Adelman's speech during the 1st Rockets timeout in the 4th. To paraphrase Adleman, per courtside announcer chick: "Keep your heads up and stay positive guys! Go get 'em." That was it. No set plays. No strategy. Just a cheesy blurb about "takin' it easy" - we the rockets or the eagles?!?!. No wonder we never come up with anything after timeouts. Does Adelman do *anything* as a coach? He hasn't solved fronting, still can't manage Yao's minutes (per Mark Jackson who said Adelman was still figuring it out 3 games before the playoffs), and doesn't know how to adjust to matchups. Most of the time he just sits there looking perplexed while rubbing his temples. Show some fire, get a T, do something! We had a chance to turn it around but we blew it, which I hope isn't a preview of the playoffs.
damnit, damnit , damnit, damnit, damnit. the rockets DO realize that there's absolutely no excuse for a first round exist against Dallas? now you've done it houston. way to ****ing go. at the rate we're playing, we'll be ousted against ANY team in the playoffs.
Please let the guard and the power forward play pick and roll when Yao is fronted. I am sure it will work better than the present strategy.
Half 3rd Quater collapse and entire 4th Quater collapse! This game does so much more matter to Rockets than Mavs. But Mavs took it serious, put full strength to beat us and they made it. Do we really want this game? or we have tried but failed? Don't expect Blazers to lose to Denver! We don't deserve it!
Yes, when his shots are not falling, he is useless. He should be a bench player but not a starting pg. With him as our starting PG, we are going nowhere. Another 1st round exit is expected
where we lost this game was the inability to get Yao the ball, inability to guard the pick and roll, and the lack of penetration on our part. Luis didnt show up (cant be upset at him as he usually does) and AB didnt show up either. Ron forced the issue and jacked up shots this one hurt us big time... Jason f'ing Kidd also if we were to match up against Dallas we would be *****ed royally as we cant contain him, terry, and barrea they all are effective in penetrating
***K the Rockets. Talk about momentum change. They got trashed in the second half and Yao was neutralized again due to fronting. FML FML FML. If we advance to the second round, we'll have to face the Fakers. Sigh...Choke City
Denver has nothing to play for now, they are the 2 seed and Portland is at home. I expect Portland to run away with this because Karl has surely realized they have nothing to gain. Knowing Karl he's going to throw in the towel as soon as he can.
This may be the worst lose of the season. The Spurs are winning so we may loose home court advantage in the first round and drop to 5th place. I do not know why every team playing the Rockets just front Yao. He would not score or even touch the ball because he is too damn slow to adjust. What a damn shame. We will play Portland in their home to start the playoffs so I know they will play that bulls**t fronting defense on Yao the whole series. A basic weak defensive play that is a absolute Yao stopper.
Everytime in pressure game, Ourself kill us by unregular player on court for the coach is like a duck in a thunderstorm firstly whoes wrong?????? I just hopeless for this season and the future.
All I can think about is that Finley 3 pointer that should not have counted 3 days ago. That b*stard hits another one tonight !!!!!! I'm sick and tired of this team underachieving year in and year out. Les you owe this town some freakin talent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
