I think we played good. To say that we sucked losing by 3 points to TT, Rose, Noah with the players we had available is a bit of an overstatement.
Scola was in foul trouble, Martin is programed to only score in the first three quarters. We had to go with the shet bench
No knee JERKS please. It was a good game by both teams but it also showed that we need Yao, Brooks and Bud for the Rockets to be better than where they are now. They just lacked the firepower and the big presence provided by Yao in the middle. The season is getting interesting and I hope our big guns are back soon.
Instead of taking a look at it right after he shot it, they waited until 3 minutes later to review it. When they took those points away, it took the wind out of the rockets sails. The refs knew exactly what they were doing and why and when they did it.
The Rockets stayed with them to the end. So tough to swallow with these wishy-washy refs. I really feel like pinning this on the refs. Adelman was putting in strange lineups, but I think he managed well without Yao, Brooks, and Bud.
That 4th quarter was on the level of that pathetic showing the Knicks put out against us last game. I mean, I don't think I saw a single bit of offense in that quarter. It was just one guy with the ball and everyone else standing around like a bunch of statues. The Rockets were tested tonight, and they completely failed it.
Can we say now that the Lee for Ariza was a failed trade by Morey. We saved LT money but the team is much worse off defensively without a 6'8" guy with a 7'2" wingspan making life difficult on the opposing team's perimeter game.
You can preach on about this....but I am thoroughly convinced, no matter who is in this lineup.......we will continue to have 4th quarter failures due to 2 things. 1. WE 2. Suck
let me guess... no santa claus no tooth fairy no real nude photos of popular female celebrities with class and dignity ...any other illusions you'd like to destroy?
Adelman....down by 3 with 22 secs to go and have 16 to shoot...why foul? Why not try to defend and hope for a miss and then try to tie the game??? Just dumb strategy. This is why Phil Jackson is ALWAYS better than Rick Adelman!! Also why the hell you want to put a bunch of defensive players in the lineup that can't generate any offense? It wasn't like we're having huge lead. This is just stupid. Why play Lowry excessive minutes and not Scola...this team need him to generate any offense. Also Martin is a p***y when under pressure. When the team need to score...he just pass the ball around like he doesn't want to be responsible for this mess!! He needs to step it up and play like he want to win. This team don't have much scoring option especially when dumb Adelman chose to put defensive lineup in the game. Courtney Lee suck bad so far..it looks like the Ariza trade is bad!! And Ishmail...pls learn to fake pass the damm ball!! Oh and Battier?? Pls don't do things that you're not good at!! Stop driving to the basket...you're not athletic to do these things...play within your game!! And the damm refs...i thought you can only review reply with the last 2 mins of each half?? They can even review whenever the hell they want as long as it's break?? OMG...this messed up the flow of the game....this is so r****d...we literally lost crucial points because of the damm refs.
This team is like the Texans. Losers find ways to lose. This team knows how to lose! Rockets need to face reality and get rid of this statistical way of thinking and get back to getting a good mix of tough and smart player... athletes that are athletic that get the job done late in the 4th quarter.
Courtney Lee lacks aggression and fire. At least with Ariza, airballs and all, we had that. Plus the usual D.
Well they don't stop the game to review those shots, they wait until a dead ball. This pretty much happens with every close buzzer beater.
hahaha, I rather we win games than to lose by less than 4 pts to good teams... those recognition don't count for anything...
Only good thing that is happening is that the D is getting back on track but need the TOs need to be cut down. RA needs to give the Ish and Hill static minutes, that way they know they get adequate pt in each game.
