I did not feel surprised at all. We just could not score enough to win the game. Game 5 is a big surprise though
Yeah, they reverted to their 7-footer combo. The mismatch between Fakers' Cs and Rockets' PFs nailed it.
Guys, remember, Shane said somewhere or other after game four that they were going to try to jack 30 or 40 threes to make up for Yao's points. It was a soft and risky game plan. An adjusted offensive game plan should help avoid such a disaster next game. But we've got to quit turning the ball over and hit some shots.
Totally agree with you. Chuck was sent to the bench realy 1st qtr. Nest game is our turn. Go, Rockets!
They'll look down on us and lose the game 4.Don't estimate our strength highly,but never underestimate the toughness of a Rocketman. It's only a strategy,I believe.
BEING DOWN BY 40 to me is not being down by 40. I look at it as being down by 20 possessions if we are talking about 2's and 7 possessions if we are talking about 3's. The rockets got flustered and stopped playing D and started chucking 3's. You didn't get down by "one-shot", so you can't get it back with one shot! You gotta chip away by playing good 'D'. Chucking up Threes is not the answer. We made it real easy for those goons tonite by playing like a bunch of juveniles. I am disappointed to say the least. The only remedy is to win the next 2 games.

Can anyone help me posting links? I got links to Artest and Adelman postgame interviews, but I'm still not allowed to post links. Could someone help me through pm?
sorry for quoting it in its original form. first, you math is problematic. 40pts are ~13 3pt possessions, not 7. and if i were the mod, you'd be in trouble. your opinion is not more valuable than any other member's just because you used some outrageous font size. and your choice of color is also poor.
