    The Rockets are my favorite team in all of sports, pro, college or otherwise, but they are absolutely unwatchable right now. I'm just praying that it's because KT, Rice and Taylor are out. Deep inside, I know they will help. But dammit, this is unwatchable. I will not pay good money to see dribble, dribble, dribble heave.

    Also, why is Collier playing ahead of Ming? I'm trying to figure out why Collier is even on the damn team. Les Alexander better get on the batphone with Rudy and get Ming's size 48 butt in the game. At this rate, when KT, Rice and Taylor come back, Ming won't even be in the rotation. That makes no sense whatsoever.

    Maybe I should change my sig. to:

    Regardless of what offense they run, I will be breaking stuff after every game.

    It is really a boring brand of basketball they run. They stayed away from the ISO, but that doesnt mean we made the game interesting.

    We will get our guys back and hopefully score around 100 points on a consistent basis.

    Stop crying, daddy will buy you a barbie. They did a lot better as a team tonight. SF and CAT started passing a little more.:mad:

    I agree with you guys this is my favorite team in sports. But why would you play Collier ahead of Ming.

    The only thing i can think of is he is trying to give him some points to trade him. But who would want him. Cato is your future backup center not Collier. And Ming is suppost to be a future starter, so play him.:(

    Denver is perhaps one of the worst NBA teams assembled in the last 20 years, and we just squeaked by.

    Some dude named Kenny Satterfield scored 15 points on our alleged defense. I prefer to be positive, but this is slightly ridiculous. Any other NBA team would have beaten us tonight.

    The difference between what the Rockets put on the floor and the Nuggets was Cat and Steve. Their other guys matched up favorably with us. WE NEED OUR VETS BACK.
    I watched the game on League Pass (denver announcers) and their final assesment was ..if they had Catino Mobley on their team..they might have been able to win......

    Im really down on Cuttino right now though. More than anyone else on this team, hes playing more as an individual than a team player. His line looked good last night and he helped pull out the game. But his play last night is what caused the game to be close in the first place. Im not sure if he should get credit for that or not.

    Its hard to tell whos to blame for our lack of team play.....We have two starters who havent played in nearly a year ..KT could help,,I think the team play will come when we get a starting five together and mabe even get some kind of rotation established..

    My thoughts exactly and they wonder why we are not filling the seat


    Well give us something to spend a few hundred dollars on!!!


    But that dribble, dribble, dribble heave is not what I am going to spend big bucks to watch.......:confused:

    My only point is, the last 3 seasons, injuries or no injuries, Cuttino has played similar to the way he has played the first 2 games.

    Questions on what end? Your personal opinion or possibly Les'? Les needs a good season with exciting play really badly. He's opened his pockets on an advertising campaign and moving into the new building and new uniforms next season should be the most profitable to him over the next X years, unless we win a championship.

    Questions are definately comming from up above. Les proclaimed this team to be "The greatest ever assebled," so this beginning has to be a huge disappointment for him. This is not the type of basketball that people will come to see. Hell, I'm even having a hard time staying awake while watching the games on tv.

    If we struggle all year and end up lottery bound, a pick that is unprotected so we have to give it up, Rudy might not be around next year.

    Van Gundy anyone?

    I liked our chances when we had Collier, Hawkins, Boki, and Mooch on the floor together. It was true CBA basketball at that point, and I ain't talking Chinese B-Ball... :rolleyes:

    WTF was Rudy thinking?

    Last nights game, as a whole, was like a CBA game. James Naismith is rolling over in his grave watching our offense for the first 3 1/2 quarters.

    I type badly and I would be the last person to comment on a typo. Thank God you got the "e" in there, but I still misread it and was LMAO. I pray a troll doesn't steal it, because luckily they're never that clever. :)

    Totally agree with you. I was a laker fan, coz I live in LA. I jump onto Rockets bandwagon after Yao Ming joined rox. I just watched a couple of rockets games so far. I admit I am not used to watching it.

    That was a boring game, but once we get KT, Mo, and Rice back, we will be funner to watch.

    ^^ Yes we will. You see, Steve and Cuttino have a little difficulty trusting their new teammates. I know it shouldn't be that way but, I think they just feel that they would get the job done scoring on their own. But when KT, Glen, and Mo come back this won't even resemble the same team.


    Did you know?: In the preseason, the Rockets never suited up all players from their current 12-man roster in the same game. The only players who have played in all the Rockets preseason and regular season games so far are Eddie Griffin and Bostjan Nachbar.
