Doesn't matter the teams above us currently in the playoff picture are far better, and have much better talent. Not to mention the Hornets/Grizzlies are turning it on.
I disagree. The Bulls are just on a lucky roll as of late. Derrick Rose is a special player ala Wade, CP3 but he is the only one. Everyone else on that team are decent role players. But as a team, the Rockets should and would own them every time. The Bulls are a POS team. What makes them so great? They just got lucky again tonight.
(I'm going to say...) Game 4 of the 2007(?) playoffs all over again.. Anybody remember Deron Williams choking by missing both rebounds only to have Okur get the rebound?
Landry has become a great finisher. But at the same time, he has also become a terrible defensive rebounder. How on earth could Landry with that athleticism and strength get only 1 defensive rebound in 38 minutes?
Give more shots to Budinger, Ariza is killing us with his low % high volume shooting. How does our worst 3 point shooter take the crucial shot down the stretch?
another thing miller> hayes/anderson salmons>battier. i know miller and salmons suck, but we suck worse. unfortunately dalembert/iggy>miller/salmons. i just dont know what the hell morey is waiting for. and oh, this is why id trade brooks and landry for amare or bosh. brooks just doesnt have "it". lowry is better.
That is embarrassing. They miss two free throws and you can't block out and get the rebound. And Ariza - I would rather have a T-Mac with two broken arms and legs on the court than him. He's a 30% 3 point shooter and takes 7 threes?! If you consider yourself a playoff contender, you can't lose against the Bulls at home. Period.
Rockets played great last night. But they can[t seem to put together a string of games consistently like the San Antonio game. What's the matter with them? Whatever happened to playing hard nosed D every game every minute?
This is how I looked at it, too. Morey is waiting too long to make a trade, as this team starts falling down and playing to their level (not overachieving).
Ariza is killing the team. To start off the games the team is at a offensive disadvantage and with Ariza shooting the teams are playing off him now. Man if the team can get Iggy and Dalembert it would change everything for the better.
So, Morey should be more like Chris Wallace? I didn't see a whole lot of the game, unfortunately, so I can't really give a good view. Still, an annoying loss, though I am once again irritated by everyone going "WE'RE DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED PANIC PANIC." Will never understand you people.
It was a mistake to take Lowry out. C-Bud was playing better, but Lowry makes better decisions and takes the pressure off from Brooks.
