    Of course because we lost clutchfans want every player on the roster traded! Gosh that's annoying!

    Lowry played a good game untill the end! Why did he stop passing the ball to kmart late in the 4th and in OT?? Did kmart even touch the ball in OT???
    He was hot and lowry just dribbled as long as he could then threw up one of his lucky shots the he takes all the time. He is not the guy that needs the ball in his hands with the game on the line! I live lowry but he cost us the game tonight!

    Didn't see the beginning of the 4th quarter, I take it?

    The bench was god-awful and the Rockets hard-earned 16-point lead was instantly diminished to a 5-point lead when the bench came in at the end of the 3rd through early 4th.

    And Kevin Martin has got to be the only guy in the league that can score 26 points and people complain that he was in the game at the end.

    martin operates and gets his shots coming off ball. he was getting locked up.

    lowry was trying to get the ball to martin coming off screens but martin couldn't get separation form his man and by that time the clock was running down and lowry had to jack up bad shots.

    we should just let martin walk the ball up the court and live with him gong 1-on-1 (like with kobe) instead of relying on the point guard to get him he ball.

    Martin's ball handling skills are too poor for that. If it was AB doing that, I would be totally fine.

    "We didn't show no fight"

    "They were ready to fold. All we had to do was fight back, and we didn't. It was really disappointing, we just don't get it."

    "We folded"

    Who does he have to work with? Martin is predictable, and Scola is very predictable. The rest of the team is role players. Brooks has been the worst scorer in the final minute of the game this year.

    Who does he have to work with? Tell me.

    He isn't a good coach and neither is his team.

    It wasn't the exact same group that did that. And it's been happening all season.

    Bit of an exaggeration, I think. And let's be honest -- this team needs a trade badly. One way or the other, the Rockets need to make a move... they needed to before the season started, frankly. I understand the need to wait until the deadline (that's when opportunity can really open up), but the waiting is painful..

    And after dropping 7 of 8 tough games, right now the only thing I'm truly looking forward to is the trade deadline. I can take losing... we've had seasons loaded with plenty of losing in the 14+ years of ClutchFans, but there has to be a vision and direction here. The Rockets "win-now" cast isn't good enough and their "youth" is not great by the standards of young teams with upside. They need to sacrifice one for the other.

    Yes, I totally agree with this post. Rockets need to win games, it's time to take risks and try something new.

    Whatever happened to the simple pick and roll when needing a basket.

    If there's nothing else there, there's always the pick and roll

    Well the GS warriors are currently beating the Clippers, and if they win today and we lose tomorrow we would be tied up for the 12 spot or 11th, which ever way you choose to look at it...

    You're right. He took out Scola and Lowry (aka, the "slow starters") and put in Lee and Patterson (aka, the "bench). Next thing you know the Hornets were on a run and he had to put the starters back in.
